About Us

How It All Began

When Late Narendra Mehta (MBE) first arrived in England, he quickly became aware that Indian Head massage, a therapy that was a part of everyday life in India, was unheard of in the UK. Having been blind since the age of one, Narendra had a particularly heightened sense of just how beneficial Indian Head Massage can be. He set to work pioneering a technique that encompassed everything he had learnt over the years, both in his home and in different locations around India.

His expertise and the fast growing popularity of the technique resulted in opening the London Centre of Indian Champissage (LCIC) in London, along with his wife, Kundan Mehta originator and the author of The Face Lift Massage.   From the moment the doors of the North London based centre opened, word began to spread about Indian Champissage head massage. His book about the technique Indian Head Massage (1999), has been translated into multiple languages and tutors from six different continents have travelled to London to train at the centre. It wasn’t long before Narendra and Kundan pioneered another technique, Face Lift Massage. This technique incorporated all of the knowledge that Kundan had acquired over her years of dedicated bodywork experience.

The College Of Ayurvedic Therapies

Since the passing of Narendra his dear wife Kundan and their Godson Moses Chundi are continuing the great legacy of London Centre of Indian Champissage and as ever ready to move and develop with the times, the LCIC have expanded their repertoire and created many other Ayurvedic Therapies. All of the unique ayurvedic training practices developed and taught by the centre have been done so in collaboration with some of  Southern India’s esteemed doctors. This is to ensure that the techniques designed and taught cater to the needs of the typical western lifestyle. Our school is home to the country’s most knowledgeable, skilled and pioneering ayurvedic massage tutors. Undertaking your training here will allow you to learn from the best minds in the industry. You will be benefiting from their holistic skills and illuminating your own ability to remedy, restore and retain energy all through the power of touch.
