Hot Stone - Stones are placed on the body to rebalance energy while other stones are used
as an extension of the therapists hands. Heat from the stones allows deeper pain-free muscle
work. The energies of the stones create a positive energy flow promoting feelings of harmony,
peace, and balance. Hot stones may be added to other types of massage to allow deeper, pain
free work.
