Esalen® Massage originated in the 1960s at the Esalen Institute, the center of the Human Potential Movement in Big Sur, USA. Influenced and inspired by humanistic psychology, the Human Potential Movement, and the Holistic Medicine Movement, Esalen Massage practitioners have developed a massage style that integrates the body, mind, emotions, and spirit, based on nature and humanism.

Isala massage provides a deep sense of relaxation and healing through nourishing touch, long, holistic massage, and mindful, meditative focus that cares for the entire body. It helps individuals rediscover wholeness, the present moment, and pervasive awareness of body and mind.
