HOT STONE MASSAGE

Hot stone massage is an ancient practise originated in China over 2,000 years ago to heal aching muscles.

The heated stones placed and rubbed on the body help the muscles to relax easily allowing the therapist to work deeply. The deep relaxation given by the heat which makes your body feels comfortable, safe, grounded, helps you to destress and get rid of anxiety and stress more quickly.

We love to offer this treatment because hot stones are great tools to create a unique experience to our clients; 

The stones are flat and smooth, they have the property to retain heat for a long time; they have different shapes and sizes to allow the therapist to be creative! 

The big ones are usually left on the chakras to help to set free the stuck energy on the body and promote overall wellness; the smaller are used for more detailed and deep bodywork such as knots and tension releasing. 

Some therapists mix hot stone massage with energy work, moving the stones along meridian lines, helping to restore the natural "qi" flow, the vital energy we are made of.
