Bliss and calm
Hot Stone massage is a very restful and calming massage.
Warm stones are heated to a temperature of approximately 45C. Each stone is then placed strategically on the body. The warmth from the stone can penetrate deep into the muscles creating a pleasant, comfortable warmth and relaxation.
Leaving the heat of the stones working their magic, another part of the body is massaged with warm essential oil and long, calm and circular strokes using stones and hands. Then the massage therapist returns to the deposited rocks, leaving the part just massaged to enjoy the warm rocks that remain.
