Esalen Style Bodywork

Esalen style bodywork is the ultimate stress buster. It was developed at the famous Esalen Institute, located on the Pacific Ocean in Southern California and home of so many new forms of body oriented therapies that were developed or fine-tuned in the 1960s and 70s, especially on the basis of the work of Fritz Perls, Wilhelm Reich, Ida Rolf and Milton Trager.

The therapist starts with head and face, which releases the key points where stress is stored. The body is then prepared to receive luxurious and soothing strokes. Overall, Esalen style bodywork unfolds at a slower and more meditative pace than for example Swedish style bodywork.

Special attention is given to lymphatic drainage, which helps to boost the immune system as well as the circulatory system.

“ We finally arrived in Paris a few days ago after a very interesting trip in your beautiful country. We wanted to tell you that we really appreciated the 10 days treatment we followed in your clinic last november. We feel in good shape and most of all we are convinced that your therapy did good to us and we are willing to apply the health advice you gave us to keep this good shape as long as we can! As far as I am concerned I believe that my "shakings" have been reduced and I am very happy about it. Helena is full of energy and keeps nice memories of Healthy Healing Clinic. Give all our thanks to your nurses that took good care of us. Thank you Doctor Shikha Xavier & Helene Ott
