Experience the Esalen Massage at Seeking Indigo

The sound of the waves provides a soothing background for any massage session at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. This sound, coupled with the cliffside natural hot springs and the educational community dedicated to exploring the "far reaches of human potentiality", has inspired a unique approach to bodywork known worldwide as Esalen® Massage.

Ellen Watson brings Esalen Massage to Seeking Indigo. This healing art evolved over 45 years at the Esalen Institute. The session is influenced by the rhythms of the Pacific Ocean, and this form of massage engages all the senses and offers deep connectedness and relaxation.

Esalen Massage works with gentle rocking of the body, passive joint exercises and deep structural work on the muscles and joints, together with an energetic balancing of the body. 
   
Sessions will run 60 mins for $150.00 or 90 mins for $195.00. Call Seeking Indigo at 843.725.0217 to set up your appt!
