Our Story
It began with a personal ritual.
Champi grew from a lifelong connection to tradition, and a shared belief that self-care should be a meaningful part of everyday life.
Supriya Malhotra was deeply connected to traditional wellness practices passed down through generations. For her, champi was never just a head massage. It was a cherished ritual of nourishment, relaxation, and renewal: a weekly moment to slow down, care for herself, and reconnect with a sense of balance.
After moving to the United States, Supriya found herself missing this simple yet powerful ritual. She discovered many forms of modern wellness along the way, but never a dedicated space offering the authentic comfort and care of a traditional champi.
What began as a personal longing slowly grew into a vision: a dream to share this beautiful ritual of self-care with others.
After years of imagining, researching, and shaping what this space could become, Supriya shared the idea with her friend Vaida Domeikyte, someone who deeply values wellness, self-care, and intentional living.
Over a simple conversation and a glass of wine, a shared passion became a shared purpose, and the seed of Champi was planted.

Our Vision
More than a place for a service
Together, Supriya and Vaida set out to create a destination where people could step away from the rush of everyday life, embrace moments of stillness, and experience self-care as a ritual, not a luxury.
Champi brings together the timeless wisdom of tradition with a modern approach to wellness: a space where the head is nurtured, the mind is calmed, and the soul feels restored.
