Our Hot Stone Offers…

… those who visit Amaya have an opportunity to experience the deeply penetrating effects of heat.  Using smooth basalt river stones heated to a temperature that is both tolerable and comfortable for the skin, skilled therapists begin to work into the tissue, communicating the effective transfer of heat from the stones to tissues deep inside the muscle body.  This use of penetrating heat encourages the release of deeply held tensions in our body.  The grounding influence of the stones also gives recipients the nourishing feeling of being touched by an elemental quality of the earth itself.  Deeper specific work is also facilitated as therapists use their hands to explore tissue that has been softened by heat and stone.  A hot stone massage is a wonderful experience whose therapeutic benefits reach deep into our bodies, very often allowing chronic and acute pain to soften and release.
