    I had an incredible experience with the Shirodhara treatment, thanks to Irene’s meticulous and personalized care. As someone who is still exploring Ayurveda, I was amazed by how unique and calming the procedure was. The warm, flowing oils on my forehead and scalp had an immediate relaxing effect, while the soothing massage allowed me to truly let go of any tension. The entire process felt like a sacred ritual, offering not only physical relaxation but also mental clarity. My scalp felt deeply revitalized, and my hair was incredibly soft and nourished for weeks after. Irene’s attention to detail and thoughtful approach made this an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this treatment and her expertise to anyone looking for a deeply restorative experience.

    I just had finished a grueling 2 week out of town job and needed to calm my nervous system down a bit from the hectic pace of my job. The treatment was amazing and fantastic! She incorporated sound bath and healing teas to my time and it was by far one of the best treatments (relaxing techniques) I’ve ever had in my life. I can’t recommend her enough. Her touch and calming presence helped relax my system. I will definitely go back!

    I was introduced to the Ayurvedic Hair Oiling Technique by Irene. I sought her advice because I was experiencing some hair thinning, some hair loss and my scalp felt dry and itchy, from then on I just fell in love with hair oiling treatments! Irene developed my own personal oil suitable to my hair needs. I felt so relaxed and in tune with myself during the treatment that I realized how much I needed this session. My hair feels manageable, smoother and easier to style, no more tangles and frizz…my hair looks healthy and shiny…the experience was absolutely well worth it!!
