Massage

Hot Stone Massage Therapy dates back to over 3000 years ago. Hot Stone Massage Therapy is also known as Hot Rock Massage Therapy and was used in ancient India and China, and more recently to the North American Indians living in the southwest states.

Hot Stone massage therapy uses the benefits of thermotherapy – the use of heat with the strokes of massage using Stones to create a deep, relaxing and healing treatment. The heat of the smooth basalt stones warms the skin, which allows for the absorption of therapeutic oils, while simultaneously preparing the musculature of the body so the massage therapist can work into the deeper muscle layers.

 The benefits of Hot Stone Massage include:

• Softens and relaxes muscles
• Allows deep work without discomfort
• Reduces pain and muscle spasms
• Improves circulation
• Powerful detoxification
• Induces a state of deep relaxation

 Hot stones can also be used to enhance Deep Tissue Massage to great effect - please ask your therapist when booking.

 It is so popular with clients that many who have tried it never go back to traditional massage!

 Thai Yoga Massage

The art form of Thai Yoga Massage is a unique and powerful system of yoga therapy. By combining rhythmic massage, acu-pressure, yogic stretching exercises called assanas, gentle twisting, and energy work all rolled into one experience. Thai massage stimulates and balances the flow of healing energy within the body, opening the areas which are blocked bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health and happiness. This system creates a powerful release of stress and tension, an increase in vitality and well-being and it deepens the connection between mind, body and spirit. Instead of using a massage table this massage art form is performed on a traditional thick Thai mat for comfort, allowing the massage therapist to move freely to set up the body to receive the work.  This treatment allows you to be comfortable in your own fitness or yoga clothing or we will provide Thai Yoga pants to change into.

Aromatherapy Treatment

The powerful effects of aromatherapy combined with any session will stimulate the lymphatic system to help remove toxins from your body.  Based on your individual needs a blend of essential oils will be used during your treatment.
Complimentary to any session
