1:1 Bespoke Training
This is not a course.
It is a transmission.
Rooted in 18 years of bodywork, Ayurvedic lineage, and the science of the nervous system — shaped entirely around you.
"The nervous system needs time to meet another nervous system. Just as in the animal kingdom — trust must come before anything else can open."— Evangeline Di Michele
A Different Kind of Training
Most Indian Head Massage is taught seated, clothed, contained. Mine is taught on the couch. Client lying down, top off. Slower. Deeper. More effective.
I have drawn from my Tulamassage practice, somatic bodywork, and 18 years of gathered knowledge — and woven it into something that reaches places most massage never goes.
The nervous system is rocked into rest. The gut — our second brain — is settled before the head is touched. The marma points are worked with presence and intention. Eye movement is observed throughout. The face is held with reverence.
The session ends with the words: "Welcome back."
Offered as a 30 or 60 minute treatment — one of my most popular and lucrative offerings. Clients love it. It is always a winner.
The Full Package
You receive a complete Indian Head Massage as part of your training. You feel the full sequence in your own body before you give it. The map becomes embodied knowledge.
History, vagus nerve, chakras, marma points, diagrams, the full sequence, checklist, body map, case study sheets, reflection questions, code of ethics, and resources guide.
Evangeline is your recipient at key points along the journey — real feedback from the person who trained you, not just at the end, but throughout.
Available throughout your case study period and for one month after certification. You are never left alone with questions as your practice grows.
Qualifying you to offer Indian Head Massage to the public, eligible for professional insurance. A certification that means something because it has been earned.
Two full days or four half day sessions — shaped around your schedule. The same content, the same depth, the same result. However works for you.
The Philosophy
In my years of touch, and in my own personal journey with trauma, I have come to understand one thing above all else —
Over skill, over knowledge, over any sequence of movements — trust and safety are the most important ingredients in this work.
The beginning of every session is a dance. Your own breath in the room is medicine — for you and for them. Body permission is the first sacred moment. And close as carefully as you open.
This is not just how to work the head. It is how to hold a person whole.
"Evangeline creates such an amazing atmosphere in her studio with lighting, sound, greenery and, of course, Tula — her furry assistant! And her head massage is divine! My treat to myself on special occasions — I can't recommend it enough!"
— Jane Gillard
Monmouthshire, Wales
Ancient, held land in the Welsh valleys. Two full training days here — one night's accommodation included. The estate becomes part of the transmission.
Available at your space
Evangeline spends extended time in Cornwall — it is very much a second home. Two full days or four half day sessions, at your space, across her visits.
This Training Is For You
You are a massage therapist, a breathworker, a somatic therapist, a bodyworker, an energy healer — and you are looking for something to add to your practice that is both deeply rooted and endlessly versatile.
You don't need to memorise anything before you arrive. The touch and the safety you create are everything. Everything else follows.
Places are limited. Each training is completely bespoke and filled by conversation. If this is calling to you — reach out.
