Soothing Heat That Allows the Body to Let Go.
A therapeutic massage enhanced with warm basalt stones to ease tension, support circulation, and encourage deep relaxation.
What Is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot stone massage is a therapeutic treatment that incorporates smooth, heated basalt stones into a traditional massage. The warmth allows muscles to relax more quickly, helping your therapist work more effectively and comfortably through areas of tension.
This approach offers both physical relief and mental calm—making it ideal for clients who benefit from warmth, slower pacing, and a deeply grounding experience.

What to Expect During Your Session
Your session begins with a brief consultation to discuss your goals, comfort level, and areas of focus. Smooth basalt stones are gently heated and incorporated throughout your massage.
Your therapist may place stones on areas such as the back, shoulders, legs, or feet, and also use them during massage strokes to deliver consistent warmth and pressure. Techniques are applied both with and without stones to create a balanced, therapeutic session.
Pressure and temperature are always adjusted to your comfort.
