ABOUT Hot Stones

Hot stone treatments are a perfect addition to your treatment menu and the heat allows for deeper manipulation of muscles while minimising the impact on the therapists hands.

The treatment is a mind, body and spirit experience where your client will reach the point of ultimate relaxation. It is a very versatile treatment and can be incorporated alongside facials, manicures, pedicures and reflexology. It is also easily adaptable to your own massage techniques as a therapist, you will discover because you are using the stones as an enhancement to your own hands.
