Indian Head Massage is an ancient Ayurvedic healing system practised all over India for thousands of years by those from everyday man and his family to royalty.  As the head holds many pressure points relating to the rest of the body, particularly to the emotional centers in the brain, Indian Head Massage is particularly effective for emotional/mental stress.

At Green Tara College we pride ourselves on the unique and beautiful Indian Head Treatment that we teach.
“I completed the Indian Head Massage course with Green Tara in June 2024. It was a truly amazing course, taught to such a high standard by Majella. This is a practical, holistic and spiritual teaching of Indian Head Massage that included chakra balancing and energy cleansing. This is a stand alone therapy and the training at Green Tara ensures the therapist will be providing their clients with the highest standard of treatment. For ongoing learning the Moodle facility is easy to use and contains clear, precise videos of the treatments. I can’t recommend Green Tara highly enough, a wonderful facility in Navan, Co. Meath” Martina 

Our Indian Head Massage has been taught and refined over twenty years to be a truly, deeply holistic treatment that is on a unique level. We teach you to balance chakras, to clear energies and to bring the spiritual aspects to this treatment. People who have taken this course with us report that once their clients have had this Indian Head Massage, they will never go to anyone else! How do we know? People who have studied with us tell us again and again – and again.  The better your treatment, the more clients you will have and the more clients who will stay loyal to you. Excellence matters, holism matters – energy balance matters.

“This was my second course to do here. I would highly recommend the Indian Head Massage course. I particularly was so happy that we had access to the kitchen facilities in the school and the refreshments. I have done courses in other Colleges where you can’t bring your lunch etc. with you and it works out much more expensive. The IHM course was very informative, practical and relaxing and fun. I am really looking forward to putting it into practice, many thanks.” Anne Kelly

“I couldn’t recommend the Indian Head Massage course enough! The course was in a word AMAZING. The manual is so well put together, the online material is so amazing also. The teacher of the course was brilliant! She was encouraging, patient and has an amazing knowledge of not only the IHM but added lots of hints and tips along the way but also included information on other treatments to compliment the massage.  I didn’t think I would embrace the massage as much as I did and would really love to advance into holistic massage now.  The method the tutor used to teach the course has encouraged m to go further. Thank you, thank you! xxx”
