ESALEN® MASSAGE: WHAT IS IT?

Esalen® Massage is the authentic and original expression of the practice better known in Italy as Californian massage. This is a presence and awareness based practice, able to awaken self-balancing processes in the body, stimulating growth, healing and self evolution. It works on the physical, mental and emotional levels, involving the energetic and spiritual dimension, and stands out for its sensitive and creative approach to each person and to each session. Esalen® Massage was founded in the 1970s at the Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California, a community that since then has offered its visitors a sanctuary from urban chaos and an opportunity to push their personal and social boundaries.
