Hot Stone Massage Therapy is a great way to ease tension and relax tired muscles. In this geothermal hydro therapy, Laura uses volcanic basalt stones from the river beds of the Andes Mountains in South America.

During the massage, the heated stones are placed on the body and used as a tool in several massage techniques. The stones may be placed along your spine, back and neck, chest and stomach, face, arms and palms, and feet and toes. This gentle warmth causes vasodilation, expanding and dilating the blood vessels, which increases circulation and metabolism.

Hot stone massage may help those who deal with stress, muscle pain, back pain, poor circulation, fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression, and insomnia.

Benefits include:

• Improved circulation

• Eases muscle tension and stiffness

• Aiding in pain relief

• Promotes sleep

• Alleviating anxiety and depression

Why Basalt Stones?
These volcanic stones are great for retaining heat, and basalt stones are believed to anchor us to the Earth and raise energy levels. They help with difficult transitions, providing emotional tranquillity and stability.

Trained at the Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy, Laura will soothe tension away using the volcanic stones and her intuitive approach to massage.
