Hot Stone Therapy
An American massage therapist, Mary Nelson, was the founder of the original Hot Stone Therapy which she called 'LaStone Therapy'. She wanted a system that would enable her to continue her therapy practice while easing her stiff and painful wrist joints. Using the stones to massage achieved this goal, while also enhancing the massage treatment
However, use of the Stones is much more than a tool for the therapist; the warmth of the stones is truly comforting and they connect us with Mother Earth, grounding our vibrations.
Please note a previous qualification in massage (ie Swedish or Aromatherapy) is a pre-requisite for this course.
