Hot Stone Massage style offers the benefit of heat and the smooth energy of river rock stones in combination with long, fluid,Swedish massage strokes. The penetration heat of the basalt stones create deep relaxation; hot stone massage can create thermo-therapeutic "vascular gymnastics" as the blood vessels expand -- and unwanted waste materials are pushed out of the body.

Hot stone massage provides a sedating effect on the nervous system. For healing muscular injury and inflammation, frozen marble stones replace the hot basalt stones, allowing blood vessels to constrict instead of expand. This stimulates the nervous system, drawing blood and waste away from the body.

I create a hot stone massage designed specifically for your needs, placing heated stones on your body's key energy points - along the spine, in the palms of your hands, and between your toes - to improve the flow of energy in your body. Because hot stones require such specific preparation, I offer this type of massage in studio visits only.
