If the hot stones are being used as part of a remedial massage, this is focused on a particular area of tension and the pressure is deeper to help create space in areas of tension.

The stones are made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat. They are heated in a water heater to between 50-55 centigrade. Firstly Jojoba oil is applied to the skin and the hot stones are then used as an extension of my hands, using long soothing strokes to help relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout the body. The hot stones are also placed on specific parts of your body. This enables the heat of the placement stones to penetrate the muscle, again easing tension and allowing the whole body to relax into it. Finishing with reiki you will leave feeling like space has been created in your body and mind ✨

Kinesiology tape is a thin, flexible tape that was developed to aid muscle movement and enhance athletic performance. It is often used to relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation and provide support to joints and muscles. We will apply this if deemed necessary to a muscle or as support for an event.
The tape will last 3-5 days.
Please note the tape does not stick if you have a lot of body hair, please ensure you shave the area before attending.
To help understand Reiki - envision a free flowing river. This beautiful river is like energy flowing easily down through the body. Occasionally a pebble, will fall into that river, making the flow of the water a little more difficult. These pebbles are human worries, fear, anger and each pebble builds on top of the other. Soon there is only a trickle of water running in that once beautiful free flowing river & so it is with energy in the human body. Reiki can be given to compliment any massage works really well as a 30 minute treatment after your massage. I am Reiki 2 Okuden trained.
