It is interesting to note the word "spa" is an acronym for sante per aqua, a Latin phrase that means health by water. Historically, a spa has been a place people go to "take the waters". There are many types of water therapies, from mineral pools to seaweed wraps and other forms of hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy is a classic method of employing water to promote wellness and healing. It is a practice that dates back as far as ancient Greece. Currently, hydrotherapy is enjoying resurgence as more people become interested in wellness and natural methods of healing, as an alternative or adjunct to medications and intrusive medical procedures.
What is an
Esalen Massage?
Mindful, slow-moving, long-flowing strokes; integrating the mind and body as a whole, not sections.
Listening to the body's rhythm; going to the depth that is required.
Using the power of Gestalt theory on being completely present and in tune with the receiver; matched in breath and energy.
Each Certified Practitioner of the Esalen Institute translates these
elements into his or her personal art form. Every session is unique,
tailored by intuition, personal
requests and comfort level.
The Esalen Institute is located on the sacred burial grounds of the Esalen Indians located in Big Sur, CA.
Anyone can proclaim they do Esalen Massage, but only a graduate of the Institute can truly perform it.

Sound Therapy
Sound therapy is an integrated
approach to health care that
incorporates sound vibrations with massage. By blending the knowledge of Oriental Medicine and Sound

innovative methodology has evolved that is deeply harmonic and spiritually based. This form of energy medicine is based on sound vibration. Using
special calibrated planetary tuning forks and symphonic Tibetan bowls, Asian gongs, Acutonics™ Ohm Chimes and other various instruments to help relax the muscles and balance the energy flow. This could be different with each session.
