What Is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot stone massage is a soothing treatment that uses smooth, heated stones to warm the muscles and encourage deep relaxation. The gentle heat helps tight areas soften more quickly, allowing your body to unwind without needing strong pressure.
This treatment is ideal if you want to relax, ease muscle tension, or simply enjoy a comforting, nurturing experience.
Your Personalised Appointment
Every treatment is tailored to you. You can choose:
- areas to focus on
- pressure level
- whether you prefer a relaxing or therapeutic approach
- whether you’d like essential oils included
You remain fully in control throughout your session, and adjustments can be made at any time.
Before your Therapy
Your session begins with a short consultation so I can understand how you’re feeling and what you’d like from your massage. You can choose a relaxing, flowing treatment or a more focused approach for specific areas.
Warm stones are used for the massage, and may be placed on the body at times. The heat encourages your muscles to relax more quickly.
During Your Massage
Warm stones are used throughout the treatment to help your muscles relax. You may feel:
- gentle heat
- soft or deeper pressure, depending on your preference
- slow, flowing movements
- deep relaxation
You can talk during your massage or enjoy quiet time, whatever feels right for you.
Aftercare & What to Expect
After your treatment, you may feel:
- deeply relaxed
- warm and calm
- less tense
- more comfortable in your body
Drink plenty of water, as the stones can be a little dehydrating. Ideally rest if you can, so you can enjoy the benefits for longer.

I had a wonderful hot stone massage with Louise. It was the perfect treatment for my aching muscles. The pressure was perfect and the whole experience was utter bliss. I will be re-booking and look forward to some of her other treatments!
Such a relaxing experience having the hot rocks massage and Louise was able to find the ‘knots’ in the muscles.
