Orange Skye in DAY SPA

This treatment (15 min./$24, 30 min./$45) is the No. 1 service requested by guests seeking relief from insomnia and other sleep disturbances. The rhythmic  motion of the therapist’s hands helps induce a relaxed, lightened state. It also strengthens the connection

between mind and body—which is often skewed from insomnia. This service is on the spa’s Ayurvedic menu.

During the treatment, the client reclines in a chair featuring cushioned upholstering and back support. This helps maintain an upright position, even as clients ease into a deeply relaxed state. The therapist massages the neck, head, shoulders and upper back, concentrating on acupressure points.

To fully benefit from the treatment, Orange Skye recommends incorporating Ayurvedic oils into the massage—although it’s optional. “Some of our clients don’t like the oil because it messes up their hair, but we prefer that they use it, as it has healing properties,” says owner Maggie Paterno.

The focus on acupressure points during the massage has many benefits. They include relief from insomnia, migraines, allergies, eye strain, and general stiffness and tension. The Indian Head Massage doesn’t stop a migraine once it’s started. However, it can significantly diminish the severity of symptoms, which impair sleep. Paterno, a regular headache sufferer, regularly receives the treatment and has noticed a marked improvement. The massage is available as a stand-alone service, or an add-on.
