Book your space at our in-store 'Ancient Wellbeing Indian Head Massage' Taster Session Event

Indian head massage, also referred to as champissage, is an ancient, traditional Ayurvedic treatment, originating from India, which focuses on the acupressure points on the head, neck, and shoulders, using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition. The practice, which has been deployed for over 2000 years, originated as a bonding and caring experience among family members, neighbours and friends. 

The benefits of the treatment include:

• Promoting hair growth by increasing oxygen to the scalp and follicles  
• Relief of headaches and migraines through reduction of tension in the head, shoulders and neck 
• Enhancing relaxation and relief of the symptoms of depression and anxiety 
• Reduction of stress, quietenting of the mind and boosting of memory 
• Stimulation of lymphatic and cerebral fluid drainage 
• Improvement of sleep through promoting reduction in stress

Our experienced, qualified practitioner, Wayne King, will provide 30 minute one to one treatments in ambient surroundings; fragranced with our signature blend essential oil wellbeing candles and diffusers. 

These treatments require no oils (unless desired), can be administered seated if required and can be performed through light clothing. The treatments are therefore both inclusive and accessible; perfect for newcomers to massage and wellbeing. These taster length massages are an ideal introduction to this outstandingly relaxing and caring treatment.

Bookings are available between 09.30am and 16.00 on the dates shown in the dropdown above.

Bookings are available between 09.00am and 3.15 pm on 12th April 2025 via the dropdown on this product description and the event will take place at our Malton store - 17 Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LP 

An afternoon of seasonal, hands-on fun and inspiration for our younger friends and their parents/guardians, here at our Malton store, under the careful, guiding eye of our fully trained on-site team.

An opportunity for children over 7 years old to try something new and exciting at our easter decoration and bath bomb-making session and to take home with pride, their lovely, handmade goodies, after the session too. 

Designed especially with fun and creativity in mind, this workshop will teach children how to safely make their own sparkly, fizzy bath bombs and clay easter decorations, all from natural ingredients. Their 'makes' can then be taken home to be used and gifted to family and family friends. With help and guidance along the way from our experienced Cosy Cottage product makers, this small group activity is sure to be a firm favourite for our younger customers. 

We provide all the ingredients and materials needed.  All that's needed is enthusiasm and a smile. The session will last one and a half hours and the children will take home their own handmade goodies -  8 fizzy bath bombs and 2 decorations. 

Workshop suitable for children 7 years and over. Limited spaces available. 

Please bring an apron or art shirt in case of small spills on the day!
