What Is an Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage, also known as Champissage, originates from Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine developed in India over 1,000 years ago. Originally practiced as part of family and community life, it focused on maintaining balance in the body, mind and spirit.
Traditionally, Indian Head Massage works on:
- The scalp
- The face and jaw
- The neck and shoulders
- The upper back
These areas hold a significant amount of physical and emotional tension, especially in modern life where stress is often carried in the head, jaw and shoulders.
Unlike many Western massage techniques, Indian Head Massage:
- Does not rely on deep pressure
- Works with energy pathways and circulation
- Encourages balance rather than forceful release
This makes it ideal for people who feel mentally overwhelmed, emotionally fatigued or chronically tense.
If you’re searching for Indian head massage Derby, it’s important to understand that not all treatments are the same. Many local options focus purely on physical manipulation. At Villain, the practice is expanded into a chakra-led ritual, offering deeper regulation and integration.

A thorough consultation with Jessica to discuss your medical history, allergies, massage goals, ensuring you are a good candidate for the treatment. If suitable we can commence at the same appointment.

5. Optional Tarot Read
If you have chosen the extended ritual with the card read, this will take place post treatment when you are in your most relaxed state.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Indian Head Massage suitable if I don’t like deep pressure?
Yes. This treatment is gentle and adaptable.
How does it work?
Modern stress is not just muscular, it is neurological.
Many people experience:
- Racing thoughts at night
- Jaw clenching or teeth grinding
- Tight neck and shoulders
- Tension headaches
- Poor sleep quality
- A constant sense of alertness
Indian Head Massage works because it directly supports the parasympathetic nervous system, the part responsible for rest, digestion and recovery.
Through rhythmic touch, pressure-point work and gentle manipulation of the scalp and neck, the body receives signals of safety. When combined with breath work and sound, this response deepens significantly.
This is why head massage in Derby is increasingly sought after by people who feel burnt out rather than physically injured.
How does energy come into it?
Beyond the physical benefits, Indian Head Massage works with energy centres, often referred to as chakras.
The primary chakras involved include:
- Crown chakra (mental clarity, connection)
- Third eye chakra (intuition, focus)
- Throat chakra (expression, tension in jaw/neck)
Blocked or overstimulated energy in these areas can contribute to:
- Mental fog
- Anxiety
- Emotional suppression
- Chronic tension
By incorporating chakra massage in Derby through intentional touch, breath awareness and sound cleansing, the treatment becomes more than a massage, it becomes a chakra ritual.
If you’re specifically searching for chakra ritual Derby or chakra massage Derby, this integrated approach offers grounding without being overwhelming or overly esoteric.
What makes your ritual different?
The Release is Villain’s signature Indian Head Massage ritual.
This treatment honours the roots of Indian Head Massage while adapting it for modern nervous systems, modern stress patterns and modern bodies.
Many standard massage treatments focus only on muscles. The Release works on:
- The nervous system
- The energetic body
- Emotional holding patterns
- Sensory regulation
It is intentionally slow, gentle and grounding.
