Traditional Hot Stone Massage
Massage aux Pierres Chaudes (Version français dessous)
The stones are heated in a special unit which keeps them at an equable temperature. They can be placed at specific points on the body where their warmth can penetrate deep tissue to encourage relaxation. Alternatively they can be used to increase the effectiveness of an active massage. Warmed almond massage oil is smoothed onto the body to begin, then the stones glide over the body inducing deep relaxation. Combinations of aromatherapy oils may be used if you wish. Everything is done for your comfort and well-being - scrupulous hygiene, soft music, harmonious, coloured, misty lighting and incense.......
It is a good idea to wear old loose clothing when you arrive for a massage as there may be a slight residue of the oils from the warmth of your body. You will be asked to remove all clothing other than your pants but towels will be provided for your modesty and warmth.
Please get your doctor's permission before coming for a massage if you have an underlying condition such as allergies, diabetes or a heart condition.
Please allow 1-2 hours for a session - 45€. Birthday and celebratory vouchers are available. Please contact me for an appointment or if you have any queries.
