Hot stone massages are a luxurious and relaxing therapeutic treatment that has been practiced for centuries. It involves placing smooth, heated stones on key points of the body to help relax and loosen tight muscles and release tension, promoting deep relaxation. The stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat well.
The heat from the stones penetrates deep into the muscles, helping to alleviate muscle tension and pain. The stones are placed on different parts of the body and also used to massage the muscles, providing a soothing and comforting sensation. The combination of heat and massage can help to improve circulation, reduce stress, and promote overall wellbeing. They help relax the muscle from deep within and feel absolutely amazing!

My hot stone massages are typically performed in a serene and tranquil environment, with soft lighting and calming music to enhance the relaxation experience. I will usually start by placing the heated stones on key points of the body, such as the back, legs, and shoulders before using the stones to massage the muscles, applying gentle pressure to release tension and promote relaxation.
Hot stone massages are safe for most people, but it is important to let me know if you have any medical conditions or concerns before the treatment begins. Pregnant women, those with heart conditions, and people with certain skin conditions may need to avoid hot stone massages for an alternative such as an aromatherapy massage.

Hot stone massage is generally not advisable during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester when the risk of miscarriage is higher and the body undergoes significant changes. While the intention behind this type of massage is to promote relaxation and alleviate discomfort, the heat from the stones can raise the body temperature beyond safe levels, potentially harming the developing fetus. It would be much better to select a holistic aromatherapy massage instead.
