Healing Hot Stone Massage

We use basalt stones, a type of volcanic rock prized in massage therapy for its remarkable ability to absorb and retain heat. Their smooth surface and natural weight allow for deeper, more even pressure than hands alone can provide, while the warmth penetrates muscle tissue more effectively than topical heat. Basalt also carries a long history in healing traditions across many cultures, valued for both its therapeutic properties and its grounding, earthy quality.

The Healing Hot Stone Massage uses heated basalt stones throughout the entire session, creating sustained warmth that allows muscles to fully soften and release. Fire & Ice introduces chilled marble stones alongside the heated basalt, alternating temperatures to create a more dynamic, contrast-driven experience that addresses inflammation and circulation in different ways. If you find pure warmth deeply soothing and want a single, sustained sense of melting tension, Hot Stone is the right choice. If you enjoy sensory contrast and want a more invigorating experience, Fire & Ice may suit you better.

This treatment is ideal for guests with chronic muscle tension, stiffness, or holding patterns that surface massage struggles to release. It also wonderfully suits those who run cold, those who find pure warmth deeply comforting, guests in cooler seasons or recovering from periods of stress, and anyone seeking a uniquely restorative experience that feels both ceremonial and therapeutic.

This treatment is not recommended during pregnancy, for guests with high blood pressure that is not well controlled, certain cardiovascular conditions, diabetes with neuropathy, recent surgery or open wounds, severe varicose veins, or skin conditions affected by heat. If you have concerns about whether this treatment is right for you, please consult your physician and always share your full health history with your therapist before your session.
