Stone Therapy is second only to Shiatsu Facials in terms of pure indulgent pampering. As a Holistic experience it is much more than a relaxing massage, but it enters into the realm of ecstatic well-being.

The Hot Stones routine itself is very similar to Swedish massage, however, the volcanic basalt stones, hands picked from the Asian Pacific, have their own inherent high magnetic field, and are capable of retaining heat for very long periods of time. An integral part of the Stones Therapy treatment is the inclusion of specially selected crystals, with very unique electrostatic and ultrasonic fields. These have a great balancing and healing effect on your body and spirits.

Cold Stones Therapy is especially recommended for muscular injuries and inflammation or for warm summer days, while Hot Stones may induce a very deep sense of relaxation and could be very welcome at any time of year.

Some techniques that may be used in Hot and Cold Stones Therapy are:

Soft tissue release, effleurage, & gentle kneading
