Introducing Body Philosophy’s first offering geared towards our youngest patrons…..
Be. Uplifted | Children’s Massage
This service, designed for small bodies, combines the use of massage therapy, garshana (a dry brushing technique with roots in Ayurveda), and the power of aromatherapy to provide a safe space for recipients to experience positive physical touch and body-autonomy; where complete decision-making power over the design of this bodywork experience belongs to the child.
