Hot Stone Massage

&

Manual Stone Percussion Therapy

Certified by TH.Stone in 2004, I have worked with the energies of stones over the years.  Much like the traditional Chinese medicine modalities such as Shiatsu, Acupressure, and even Acupuncture, Hot Stones help the flow of chi (lifeforece energy) within the meridians of the body to promote healing and wellness. 

In Eastern medicines, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is believed that an excess or deficiency of chi over time is what causes dis-ease.  Along with herbs, treatments like Shiatsu, Acupressure and Hot Stones get the chi flowing freely to unblock congestion and even out energy flows.

Hot Stones were also used in Native American Traditions for healing.  The earthiness of the stones and the power of the sun and moon help relax and energize the body and strengthen the immune system.

The majority of the stones I use are black bassalt stones, which I purchased with my certification course.  They hold heat better than regular rocks and are ideal for the hot stone massage.  Two marble stones are used for the eyes and face, and at room temperature are very cooling and soothing.

Over the years I have also collected stones in my travels and hikes and incorporated them into my treatments.  I also used chakra stones to do healing and chakra alignment by request.

Manual Stone Percussion Therapy

Used for hundreds of years, this stone tapping technique can help heal the body on many levels.  The tapping releases fascia and moves kinetic energy through the body that may have been "stuck" for a long time due to an injury or stress.
