Our specialty! Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where our therapists use smooth, water-heated stones, either as an extension of their own hands or by placing them at key points on the body while they incorporate a customized massage in other areas. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly. You usually start face down, with our therapist working on your back. First, our therapist warms up the body with traditional Swedish massage, then massages you while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, our therapist will replace it with another.

Our practitioner, without using oil or lotion, will brush, knead, roll/press, and rub the areas between each of the joints, known as the eight gates, to attempt to open the body’s defensive (wei) chi and get the energy moving in the meridians and the muscles. Techniques may be gentle or quite firm. The name comes from two of the actions: tui means “to push” and na means “to lift and squeeze.”
