About Eva Trapp

When it comes to our own wellbeing, it is better to think of our health as a daily activity of life and not as a therapeutic intervention. Ayurveda offers us a timeless solution to whole health, passed down from Indian families and doctors for over years. Ayurveda is the “science of life”. Through the ancient traditions of Ayurvedic bodywork we are able to address the stagnate energy that so often builds up in our western collective minds and bodies. Our bodywork includes Abhyanga, Shirodhara and Svedana. These treatments have been known to have a purifying effect. Our goal is to help you find and maintain your balance. Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic full body friction-based massage.The heated oil creates a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience for the mind and body. This massage can be highly beneficial to the nervous, circulatory, lymphatic and immune systems. Shirodhara is a beautiful way to take your meditation practice deeper. A stream of warm herbal oil flows over the forehead and onto the third eye. The warm oil helps sooth the mind and allows space for stillness, letting the mind go deeper into concentration and clarity. This treatment can work directly with calming the nervous system, aiding with insomnia, stress, anxiety, and depression. Cozy and warm surrounded by a canopy of steam, Svedana lets the body rid itself of excess. Enjoy the moisturizing effects of an herbal steam. Medicinal herbs are used to help relax the muscles and nurture the senses. A great aid for the respiratory and immune system in our cold Pittsburgh months.
