Deep Relief Without Deep Pressure
By using smooth, heated stones as an extension of the therapist’s hands, we can work deeply into muscle fibers without the discomfort of heavy pressure.
The radiant heat penetrates inches below the surface, expanding blood vessels and encouraging blood flow throughout the body. This sedative effect calms the central nervous system, helping you drift into a state of profound tranquility

FAQ
Common Questions About Hot Stone Massage
Does hot stone massage hurt?
Not at all. The stones are heated to a safe, comfortable temperature. Your therapist will always check the heat level with you before applying them to your skin
Who should avoid hot stone massage?
We recommend consulting a doctor if you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, or have a condition that makes you sensitive to heat (like diabetes or neuropathy)
Why Choose Hot Stone Therapy?
Relieve Stress and Tension
Combat Chronic Pain
Ideal for those suffering from fibromyalgia, arthritis, or chronic back pain. The heat reduces pain signals and increases flexibility in stiff joints.
Alleviate Anxiety
The grounding weight of the stones combined with heat creates a comforting “cocoon” effect, significantly reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Better Sleep
By resetting your circadian rhythm and inducing deep relaxation, many clients report a significant improvement in sleep quality for days after their session.
Himalayan vs. Basalt Stones
While traditional hot stone massages use black basalt rocks, we elevate the experience by incorporating Himalayan Salt Stones.
These hand-carved salt crystals not only hold heat beautifully but also impart 84 essential minerals into the skin during the massage. They act as gentle exfoliators and natural air ionizers, leaving your skin soft and your body detoxified. It’s a two-in-one therapy that treats both your muscles and your skin.
The Ancient Roots of Stone Therapy
The use of heated stones for healing dates back over 2,000 years to the Ayurvedic traditions of India and the medical practices of ancient China. Native Americans also used heated stones in sweat lodges to purify the body and spirit.
Modern hot stone massage marries these ancient rituals with contemporary anatomical science. By placing stones on specific acupressure points along the spine, we bridge the gap between spiritual grounding and physical rehabilitation.
