WISH = With Intention, Soothing Hands
The focal point of a hot stone massage is the use of warmed stones to apply pressure during the massage therapy session to promote a deeper state of relaxation.
This type of massage involves the use and placement of basalt River rock stones on different points of the body. The rocks are heated before use and the massage practitioner can then apply deeper pressure to areas of concern without causing any discomfort.
Basalt river rocks are used during this type of massage because they are smooth from the river’s current and they hold heat well. They are made of volcanic rock which enables them to heat quickly and retain that heat for an extended period.

“If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.”

Each treatment is approx. 90min in length. The first half will involve a therapeutic soft tissue manipulation of your upper back, shoulders, neck and legs while laying on your stomach. Then, turning over on your back, the treatment continues on the upper arms, legs, chest and face.
Your massage therapist will use warm oil before beginning the massage to make sure that the rocks can glide across your skin without resistance. Hot stones, when used during massage, allow the massage therapist to utilize the basic Swedish massage techniques including long strokes, kneading, rolling, tapping, and circular movements, just with rocks instead of the hands.
