Nov. 12, Welland, Ont. – The Canadian Centre of Indian Head Massage offers courses – with CEUs – for RMTs across Canada.

Indian Head Massage ( also known as champissage) is a form of relaxation massage that focuses on the face, head, neck, shoulders, upper back and upper arms which are important energy centers within the body. This form of massage is very relaxing and has a balancing effect on the recipient, as it helps them to release stress and tension creating a sense of peace and well-being. Because this form of massage is done over the clothing in a seated position it can be done anywhere and at any time, making easily available just about anywhere.


The art of Indian Head Massage originated from Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. This Sanskrit word can be translated as the "science of life" or "knowledge of life". The Ayurvedic approach to health is the balance of body, mind and spirit and the promotion of long life.

Debbie Boehlen is owner and founder of the Canadian Centre of Indian Head Massage. Also a Reiki master, Boehlen completed her original Indian Head Massage Training in 2002 and became a certified practitioner. In 2003 she completed her instructor training and has been teaching Indian Head Massage since that time. Boehlen became a practitioner in Face Massage as well, in 2004 . In 2009 she created the Rejuvenating Face Massage course and now teaches this modality as well.
