Hot Stones Massage
Hot stones massage is a modern take on an ancient therapy which dates back 5000 years to India and, it is thought also to the Mayan civilisation. Healers at that time used rocks from the riverbeds, heated them in hot coals or hot water then arranged them along the body’s energy lines to promote healing.
Nowadays, hot stone therapy involves using water heated volcanic basalt stones to massage with and to place on key points on the body, creating sensations of comfort and warmth, promoting deep relaxation & stress reduction. It increases blood circulation to tissues, easing tired achy muscles and helping to detox the body.

- Discussion on your past and present health.
