Hot Stone Massage

This luxurious massage reaches deep into your muscles whilst you relax and melt into a state of bliss. It can be received with unscented oil or with aromatherapy oils added.

What Is Hot Stone Massage?

Hot stone massage is treatment where I use specially selected smooth basalt stones which have superior heat retaining properties to massage your body. These stones are heated in water to a comfortably warm temperature prior to your treatment. Initially, warm oil is applied to your skin to enable the stones to glide over your body, and I then use stones of varying sizes to actively massage your body. At times throughout your session, stones may be placed on or tucked around you to enhance penetration of warmth and relaxation of muscles.

Your First Treatment

Before your treatment commences, a consultation will be carried out to determine your medical history, lifestyle and purpose of the treatment e.g. stress relief, digestive problems, relaxation, etc. All details recorded are strictly confidential.

Your treatment should be relaxing and enjoyable, but it is important to let me know if any part of your massage is not to your liking and I will make any adjustments if necessary.

Following Your Treatment

As with all holistic treatments, try to drink plenty of water to speed elimination of any toxins.

If your treatment has included aromatherapy oils then it is important not to bath or shower for 8 hours after your treatment to enable the essential oils sufficient time to be absorbed into your skin. You should also avoid using other bath products for 24 hours.
