Hot Stone Massage

I've been busy this last month with lots of baby massage and clients, however I still found time to fit in some new training.

I've carried out training for hot stone massage, so can now offer this amazing treatment. So, is it all placing stones and leaving you for a while to relax? No! While in a full 90minute treatment you'll be lying on hot stones while I heat and then massage your arms and legs I definitely don't get to just leave you to it!

Some people also think you massage with the stones - yes, this is true and it is a therapy I will be offering, as I realise not everyone will be able to afford the full treatment and I'm keen to make it as accessible as possible for people.

The full treatment however will be a combination of the two. So, what happens?

In a full treatment you lie on several stones that heat your back and neck while I then place stones between your toes and in your palms. I then place stones on your arms and legs before using stones to massage each of your limbs in turn. Once you're lovely and toasty and your limbs have been massaged, you'll then turn over, more stones will be placed on you and I'll massage your back and the backs of your legs, again using hot stones.

The basalt hot stones are heated in water and the stones allow a deeper massage, this is combined with warm oil and can also include aromatherapy oils if you choose. Obviously if you choose the aromatherapy oils, I'll make you up a bespoke blend so its more personal for you! So, if you're looking to show yourself how much you do care for yourself, why not consider treating yourself to 90 minutes of hot stones, massage and warm oils? It's available now from the clinics I work at in Sea Mills and Redfield and advance booking is essential.
