What is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot Stone Massage combines the benefits of traditional massage therapy with the penetrating warmth of smooth, heated basalt stones. These stones are placed on key points of the body and used in flowing massage strokes to deliver heat deep into the muscles, easing tension and enhancing circulation.
The heat softens tight muscles more quickly than hands alone, allowing your therapist to work more deeply — yet gently — without the discomfort of firm pressure.

Hot Stone Massage FAQs
Here are some answer to common question we get asked…
Will the stones be too hot?
No — the stones are heated to a carefully controlled, comfortable temperature, and we always test them before placing them on your body. You’ll feel warmth, not burning. Your therapist will check in with you and adjust if needed throughout the session.
Can you still use hands during the massage?
Absolutely. Hot Stone Massage includes a combination of hands-on techniques and the use of stones. The therapist alternates between warm stones and manual massage to offer both depth and precision where needed.
Do I have to lie face down the entire time?
Not at all. Depending on the areas being treated, you may start on your front and then turn onto your back or side. Cushions and bolsters are used to ensure full comfort and support throughout the session.
Is hot stone massage safe for everyone?
While it is safe for most people, we may recommend an alternative massage approach if you have:
Very sensitive skin or heat intolerance
Diabetes or circulatory conditions
Recent surgery, injury, or inflammation
Pregnancy
If you’re unsure, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to advise or tailor your treatment accordingly.
What should I wear to the session?
Just wear comfortable, easy-to-remove clothing. You’ll undress to your comfort level and will be appropriately draped at all times. We only uncover the area being massaged — your modesty and comfort are always respected.
How often should I have a hot stone massage?
This depends on your needs. Many clients find monthly sessions beneficial for maintenance, while others book more frequently during times of increased tension or emotional stress. We can help create a schedule that suits you.
Can I combine hot stone massage with other treatments?
Yes — hot stones can be incorporated into other massage or therapy sessions as part of a bespoke treatment plan. Let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll guide you through the best options.
