A hot stone massage uses smooth, heated basalt stones alongside hands-on massage. The warmth from the stones helps your muscles let go, so the massage can be deeply relaxing as well as therapeutic.
I combine the benefits of the heated stones with my own techniques to target the areas where you hold tension, in my private woodland treatment room in Crowborough.

The warmth from smooth basalt stones loosens tight muscles, which lets me work into deeper layers of tissue. It also encourages blood flow and creates a deeply calming, stress-relieving experience.
