Nordic Calm for Head, Face, and Nervous System
Nordic Head & Face Massage is a targeted treatment for the scalp, face, jaw, neck, and upper shoulders, created to release built-up tension and calm an overloaded nervous system. It is especially effective when stress is held around the head and neck, sleep has become lighter or broken, or your mind feels constantly “on”.
This is far beyond a standard spa-style head massage. It draws on selected techniques from my broader therapeutic work, including NPM, TKMT, MLD, Raynor, and other advanced methods, then applies them with clear intent to this region. The result is precise, restorative treatment that helps you feel clearer, lighter, and deeply settled, with that rare sense of full-body calm that lasts beyond the session.

Who This Is For and
What It Can Support
This treatment is a strong fit for clients whose stress collects in the head, jaw, neck, and shoulders, especially people with desk-heavy work, high cognitive load, long screen hours, or poor sleep quality. It is also popular with people who clench their jaw, wake with facial tension, or feel mentally tired even when physically rested.
Clients often book this for tension headaches, jaw tightness, facial holding patterns, neck stiffness, eye-area fatigue, stress-related overload, and difficulty winding down at night. It can also work well as a regular nervous system reset for busy professionals, parents, and high-performing clients who need calm, clarity, and better recovery without heavy full-body work each time.
Safety and Contraindications
Nordic Head & Face Massage is gentle and suitable for most adults, but safety always comes first. If you have fever, active infection, contagious skin conditions, or acute illness, treatment should wait until fully recovered. If you have recent facial procedures, recent surgery, injectables, active dental or jaw inflammation, concussion history under current care, or any neurological/cardiovascular condition that is unstable, please check with your clinician first and message before booking.
If you are under current oncology care, medical clearance is required before treatment. If you are pregnant or early postnatal, message in advance so I can confirm suitability and adapt the session safely where appropriate.
F.A.Q

This is a specialist treatment, not a basic spa routine.
It blends selected techniques from across my wider therapeutic toolkit, including influences from Neural Pathway Massage (NPM), Traditional Kalevala Mobilisation Therapy (TKMT), Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), Raynor, and other advanced methods, then applies them specifically to the head, face, jaw, neck, and upper shoulder region.
The aim is not only to help you relax in the moment, but to reduce tension patterns and support better day-to-day function.
The session focuses on the scalp, face, jaw, temples, neck, and upper shoulders. Depending on your symptoms, it can also include targeted work around areas linked to jaw tension, screen-related strain, sinus pressure, and stress load in the upper body.

Yes, these are common reasons people choose this session.
It is frequently booked for jaw tightness, tension headaches, neck stiffness, facial tightness, and eye-area fatigue linked to long hours at screens or high cognitive load.
This is an oil-free treatment, so your hair should not feel greasy afterwards. However, because the scalp is worked thoroughly, your hair may look a little messy after the session. Many clients bring a brush or tie their hair up afterwards if needed.

A light t-shirt is ideal, as it allows easier access to the neck and upper shoulder area and helps the session flow more effectively.

Yes, it works very well as regular maintenance.
Some clients book it during high-stress periods, while others include it monthly to help manage load, sleep quality, and upper-body tension before symptoms build up again.
If you have acute infection, fever, a contagious skin condition in treatment areas, recent facial surgery or procedure, or another active medical issue affecting the area, the session may need to be adapted or postponed. If you are unsure, send me a message before booking and I will advise.
