The Californian massage is also known as sensitive massage or gestalt massage being a body work based on the principles of Gestalt therapy. Its origin comes from the Esalen Massage that was devised more than 50 years ago at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. It is one of the best known massages in the United States and is gradually being introduced in Europe.

Although the Californian massage has its origin in the Esalen massage, it differs from it in the type of intention. The Californian follows a protocol while in Esalen the therapist gets carried away and does not follow a defined scheme. This allows the therapist to go in very deep with the person receiving the massage and thus treat areas of the body that need it most. The Esalen massage is more subtle and if we want, spiritual.
