Treatments offered at the Sen Wellness Sanctuary begin with a diagnostic consultation from the in-house Ayurvedic Doctor to determine your Doshas or body constitution. After the diagnosis, a course of daily treatments using unique oil and herbal medicine is tailormade to the individual. These treatments include lots of oil-based massages (full body, head, shoulder, hand, foot), herbal pouches, body scrubs, steams, herbal inhalations, face masks and shirodhara. Ayurveda seeks to create balance and harmony, which can become disrupted by the stress of busy work lives. Through understanding your own unique dosha type, the treatment programme will assist you to centre and rebalance.
Other beneficial sessions include a healing gong bath, meditation and additional sound healing sessions.
Sen Wellness focuses on Kundalini yoga, the yoga of awareness. Kundalini yoga is very accessible and classes are open to all levels, but private yoga sessions are also available. Other group experiences include group healing, dance and music workshops.
