Choose from an array of additional services that can be provided in my studio, the workplace or your home. A massage is the perfect way to relax and de-stress.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is an extremely relaxing and comforting massage technique. Basalt stones are used throughout the massage because they retain heat well and allows the therapist to work deeper. Hot stone massage can be deeply detoxifying and profoundly relaxing.

The deep pressure that is achieved from the heat of the stones allows the muscles to release tension, eases stiffness, relieves pain and allows the therapist to sink deeper into the tissue and belly of the muscle.
