Hot Stone Massage
Just in time for winter - now offering Hot Stone Massage! Enjoy a 90 minute hot stone treatment that will warm you to the core while releasing muscle aches and tension. Stone massage is a slower, more flowing style of massage that is very relaxing while still effectively releasing muscle tension, pain and spasms. A slower pace is necessary to allow the heat from the stones to penetrate deep into the muscle tissue to release tension and restriction. The stones used in this treatment are basalt stones from the Western waters. They are volcanic and were blown into the ocean thousands of years ago. The constant movement of the waves has gently tumbled and smoothed the sharp edges of each of the stones. The energy from the volcano combined with the energy of the ocean waves gives the stones a nice balance of energy. Experience the rejuvenating effects stone massage! 90 Minute Treatment - $100.00
Thai Herbal Stone Massage
As part of my hot stone training I also learned Thai Herbal Stone Massage. Thai Herbal Stone Massage is based on a combination of Chinese, Indian (Ayurveda), and shamanistic medicine that is practiced throughout Thailand. "Dis"ease is often thought to be an effect from an imbalance of one system on another in the body call "qi" (energy) flow being blocked. There are two places this energy can be blocked- the body and the mond/heart (citta) with energy tying them together. Thai medicine believes there are meridians or "nadis" through which energy flows. If there is a blockage in these nadis, an imbalance occurs and then disease occurs. Thai herbal massage works specifically with the intention of clearing these meridians to allow balance to be restored and for healing to take place. The herbs that are incoporated in the massage are always used hot either as a compress or applied directly to the injury or problem area. They can help with problems from stiff, sore or pulled muscles and ligaments, to chronic back pain, arthritis, chroinc stress, anxiety, respiratory problems, sinusitis digestive disorders and migraines.
