Indian Head Massage, also known as Shiro-Abhyanga, is an ancient Ayurvedic healing treatment that has been practiced in India for thousands of years. It is a very relaxing treatment that is great for relieving stress and tension and also improves the condition of the hair and scalp. It works on the energy of the seven chakras to encourage healing and bring the body back into balance. It involves massaging points on the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, and face. This course also includes the Ayurvedic healing techniques of Marma point facial massage and Shirodhara. This course is suitable for anyone with an interest in Indian Head Massage. Non-therapists will receive a non-practitioner certificate in Indian Head Massage.

My wife and I went for the one day Sunday retreat with the yoga session followed by a walk and then the saunas and cold plunge experience. We had a beautiful lunch (sourced locally from providers in Ennis) and finished the day with a sound bath. We came away feeling completely relaxed and revitalized. Rosie was a fantastic host during our sessions, guiding us through our journey. For me the sound bath was quite an experience, very calming and allowed me to achieve a deep state of relaxation. Rosie and Michael, I found very genuine people who seem to care deeply about what they do. Some of the best spent money I've spent for a long time. Thanks Rosie and Michael...

I have been to Rosie’s retreats on numerous occasions. Every time I leave here I feel 100 times better than when I arrived. There is something very healing and soothing about the Shannon estuary retreat. A lot of work and thought is put into every event and there is a huge variety toe events to choose from. I highly recommend it.

Rosie welcomed my friend Judy and I to her soulful sanctuary in July 2022 and we had a wonderful experience. I went back in August this year and as always, you walk into a sense of calm in a safe space. The food on the day was out of this world and I cannot wait to come back in November for another wonderful experience 🫶🏼✨

I did the Wim Hof Method Retreat here. From the warm welcome and the beautiful surroundings this place should be high on everyone's list.
The retreat was really special. The breath work and ice bath was amazing. Josef, the course instructor was fantastic. I was in a group of 5 strangers and we instantly connected. We shared stories openly about our lives. It was truly a wholesome and nurturing experience .
The owners MicheƔl & Rosie go above and beyond to make your time with them unique, fun and memorable.
The lunch was out of this world! Delicious tapas, salad, soup, breads and dessert!! I'll be back!! ❤️

I had the most fabulous day at the Shannon Estuary Hike & Yoga retreat. I went to the retreat alone but the wonderful energy from both the place itself and Rosie put me at ease straight away. From the first moment I arrived I felt safe to share and was blown away by how beautiful the location is. It was wonderful to spend the day with like-minded people. I really enjoyed the mindful walk and the dip in the secret waterfall was like something out of a movie. The cacao was just the best thing I’ve ever tasted! When we got back the outdoor area - the sauna, hot tub and plunge pool was so luxurious and perfect after the walk to relax. The food was delicious, healthy and locally sourced. Even with all my food allergies I was still catered for. The day ended with a beautiful relaxation yoga and sound bath which was just perfect. I floated home, so relaxed and I can’t wait for my next retreat there. I’ll be back again very soon.
