The Healing Art of Esalen Massage

Deep Relaxation and Renewal

Esalen Massage is a unique, deeply therapeutic approach that blends fluid movements, deep relaxation, and mindful touch. Rooted in the healing philosophy of Esalen Institute in Big Sur, this massage style is more than just bodywork—it’s a transformative experience that connects the body, mind, and spirit.

At Selina’s Therapy Center, we offer Esalen Massage to help our clients release tension, restore balance, and achieve a profound sense of relaxation.

What is Esalen Massage?

Esalen Massage is a holistic and intuitive style of bodywork that emphasizes long, flowing strokes, gentle rocking, and deep stretches. This technique integrates Swedish massage, deep tissue work, and mindfulness practices to create a seamless, meditative experience.

Unlike traditional deep tissue massage, which targets specific muscle knots, Esalen Massage focuses on the whole body, encouraging deep relaxation and emotional release.

What Makes Esalen Massage Unique?

Esalen Massage is distinct because it incorporates:

✔ Long, Integrative Strokes – Soothing, unbroken movements that create a feeling of wholeness.
✔ Mindful, Present Touch – Therapists work intuitively, adapting to the body’s needs in the moment.
✔ Gentle Rocking & Stretching – Encourages fluidity, joint mobility, and deep relaxation.
✔ Energy Balancing – Helps release emotional and physical blockages.
✔ Connection with Breath – Encourages mindfulness and deeper awareness of the body.

This style of massage is deeply therapeutic, not just for muscles but for the nervous system, emotions, and overall well-being.
