What is Hot Stone Therapy?

Hot Stone Therapy is a kind of massage using hot, or sometimes cold, basalt stones.

How does it work?

The massage has a deeply therapeutic effect on the body and mind. The heat from the stones relaxes the muscles, easing tension. It can also bring relief to areas of chronic pain.

What to expect during a session

Each treatment is unique depending on the client’s needs. At the first session there will be a short consultation to assess any medical conditions you may have. During the massage you will be lying on the couch, with most of your clothing removed. Large towels preserve your modesty throughout the treatment. If you are unable to lie flat, your therapist will adapt her technique, for example by treating you in a sitting position.

How will you feel afterwards?

Hot Stone Therapy is calming and nurturing, yet it can be invigorating.
