Esalen Massage®

Esalen Massage is a unique, vital and continually evolving massage pioneered at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. The Esalen technique tends to induce a trance-like and meditative state, allowing the greatest possible unfoldment to take place in the recipient. Esalen Massage is known for its healing and nurturing touch; it combines long strokes, gentle rocking and stretching, sculpting of deep musculature and the precision of acupressure. However, the practice goes beyond the physical result of bodywork by focusing on energy exchange and psychological well-being. Taught and trademarked by the Esalen Institute, Esalen Massage aims to tune the mind and body together to create a sense of serenity and peace.
