Hot Stone Massage
- 60 or 90 mins -
Smooth basalt rocks, polished river stones, gemstones and crystal wands are warmed and used throughout your massage to penetrate heat deep into tense muscles, improve circulation and amplify the restorative effects of the treatment.
The warmth settles the nervous system, and the body surrenders into a depth of relaxation that hands alone cannot always reach.
Hawaiian Lomi Lomi
Massage

One of the great massage traditions of the Pacific. Lomi Lomi commences with prayer, bone-washing and connection to the Ha breath - honouring the true Hawaiian spirit of Aloha.

This is not just a massage - it is an experience of integration, connecting mind, body and spirit in the spirit of unconditional love.
