What to expect
Hot Stone massage combines flowing massage techniques with the comforting warmth of smooth basalt stones. The stones are used as massage tools and may also be placed on the body where appropriate.
The gentle heat helps the muscles soften more deeply, which can make the treatment especially soothing for general aches, tight shoulders, tired legs and everyday muscular tension.
Temperature, pressure and areas of focus are adjusted around your comfort throughout the session, so the treatment still feels completely personalised rather than following a fixed routine.
Full-body hot stone massage

The 60 minute option gives enough time for the complete treatment, while 90 minutes allows for a slower pace and more time to work through each area.

What if the stones feel too hot?
Tell me straight away. Stone temperature is monitored and adjusted throughout the treatment so you remain comfortable.
Are the stones placed on the body?

What areas are included in a Hot Stone massage?
The treatment is generally full-body and typically includes back, neck, shoulders and legs, with the arms, feet or face sometimes included depending on the session length and your preference. Feel free to advise which areas you’d like to receive the treatment on.
Can I choose the pressure?
Yes. Pressure can be adapted throughout the treatment and your always welcome to ask for it to be lighter or firmer.
Should I book 60 or 90 minutes?
60 minutes gives enough time for a complete full-body treatment plus additional areas if requested. 90 minutes allows for a slower pace and more time to work through each area in greater detail.
Is Hot Stone massage suitable for a first massage?
Yes, as long as there are no reasons the use of heat would be unsuitable for you. The treatment can be adapted around your comfort.
Are there times when a Hot Stone massage may not be suitable?
Certain illnesses, medical conditions, reduced heat sensitivity, injuries, recent surgery or other circumstances may mean your treatment needs to be adapted or postponed. Your consultation form helps identify anything we should discuss before your appointment.
