What Is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot Stone Massage combines traditional massage techniques with the therapeutic warmth of basalt stones. The heat from the stones penetrates deep into the muscles, helping to release tension more effectively than massage alone. Your therapist uses the stones as an extension of their hands, applying slow, flowing strokes that leave you feeling warm, relaxed, and completely restored.
Who It’s For
This treatment is perfect for anyone seeking deep relaxation and relief from stress, anxiety, or muscle tension. The gentle warmth is especially beneficial for those with chronic pain, tight muscles, or simply anyone who wants to unwind in a deeply nurturing environment. If you're looking to soothe tired muscles and calm an overactive mind, Hot Stone Massage is the ideal choice.
The Benefits of Hot Stone Massage
The heat from the stones encourages increased blood flow, which helps relieve muscle stiffness, promote detoxification, and support overall relaxation. Many clients experience reduced stress, improved sleep, and a heightened sense of wellbeing after a Hot Stone Massage. The combination of warmth and massage calms the nervous system, making this treatment an ideal choice for those seeking a mental and physical reset.

For clients seeking the therapeutic benefits of a remedial massage with the added comfort of heated stones, we offer Hot Stone Remedial Massage.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
Before your treatment, your therapist will take the time to understand your goals and preferences, ensuring the pressure and techniques are suited to your needs. You’ll be comfortably positioned in one of our private, softly lit treatment rooms, where smooth, heated stones are placed along key points of the body and used in massage strokes to ease tension.
