PAMPERING FOR YOURSELF OR AS A GIFT

SOUND THERAPY AT THE MINI STUDIO

PRIVATE INDULGENCE

Welcome to Ministudio, our new wellness room, located in the same building as AAVA’s previous studios. We are located in the Taiga business center building at the Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi.

In the Ministudio, we can offer Sound therapy massages and Sound baths or Tibetan singing bowl relaxations. These treatments act as deep relaxation, gently treating the whole body, mind and soul. The tunes and sound vibrations softly and harmoniously lead you into a state of deep relaxation, also activating the parasympathetic nervous system and thus calming the entire body and mind as brain waves decrease from active to resting frequencies.

SOUND THERAPY MASSAGES

Sound therapy with Tibetan singing bowls is a holistic deep relaxation method which is based on sound waves and resonance, or co-vibration. When the bowl is struck with a mallet, the bowl begins to vibrate, which transfers the vibration from the bowl to the body and resonates in every cell of the body.

Sound vibrations travel through the body through cellular fluids, which is why singing bowls reach deeper tissues of the body that can be reached with manual treatment. That’s why Sound therapy can also be used as an aid in massage and physiotherapy and it also works as a restorative treatment after sports.

SOUND THERAPY EFFECTS

Sounds affect us directly through the limbic system. The sound produced by singing bowls contains many harmonic overtones that make us feel calm and bring a sense of well-being. The treatment aims to restore the body’s normal functioning and correct imbalances. On a physiological level, harmonic sounds affect many body functions through the activation of the parasympathetic or resting nervous system:

  • Blood pressure drops and heart rate slows down

  • More alpha, theta and delta waves appear in the EEG (relaxation)

  • Secretion of feel-good hormones, oxytocin, endorphin and serotonin, increases

  • Nervous system and muscles relax

  • Body’s “fight or flight” reactions subside

TREATMENT DESCRIPTIONS

In Sound Therapy Massage, the client is treated first lying on his face and then lying on his back, or according to the client’s wishes, in a different order or only from one side.

During the massage, bowls are played both on and around the body and the entire body is massaged from head to toe. Usually, sound bowl therapy is done on a massage table, but if you don’t want bowls to be played on your body at all, or you want bowls to be played on your body only when you’re lying on your back on a yoga mat, you can book A Sound Bath for yourself.

A time of 75 minutes is reserved for the treatment, of which the massage time is approx. 60 minutes.

Sound therapy works as a form of deep relaxation, gently treating the body, mind and soul. When you come to the treatment with a loved one, you can share a nice, relaxing moment together.

In couples massage, two clients are treated at the same time. Both lie under a blanket on yoga mats on the floor and bowls are played on and around both bodies. You can come to couples massage with your friend, child or spouse.

A time of 90 minutes is reserved for the treatment, of which the massage time is approx. 75 minutes, Parent&Child treatment can also be shorter, 75min.

Sound bath is a relaxation session during which hand-forged Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, koshes, thingsas and the Shaman drum are played.

Tunes and sound vibrations gently and harmoniously lead you into a state of deep relaxation, also activating the parasympathetic nervous system and thus calming the entire body and mind as brain waves decrease from active to resting frequencies.

During the relaxation session, you lie comfortably on yoga mats under a blanket. After a brief introduction and body scan, you can enjoy the tunes in peace and focus only on yourself and your own state of being. The music itself lasts about 50 minutes, after which there is plenty of time for peaceful awakening.

You can make a reservation for one (59€) or two persons (89€).

PREPARE FOR THE TREATMENT

  • Prefer body-hugging rather than baggy clothing, but not constricting or too tight ones

  • Leave belts, large watches and jewelry at home or be prepared to take them off during treatment.

  • Please come to the treatment without perfume.
