Stone Therapy is an ancient healing art that was just recently rediscovered. Its modern form came in 1994 when a massage therapist from Tucson, AZ brought it back to life. Since then it very quickly became the most influential and demanded treatment in the SPA industry in North America and had taken many forms.

Stone therapy is a type of thermotherapy. It uses deep penetrating heat from smooth basalt rocks and alternating cold from marble stones. Physiological benefits of alternating temperatures to the body have long been scientifically and medically proven.

Stone therapy goes beyond the physical experience of typical massage, and enters deeper dimensions of relaxation, health and well being. Truly “Body-Mind-Spirit” philosophy unfolds in it.

Stone Therapy is an exclusive ‘vascular gymnastics’ of circulatory system. It improves work of lymphatic and immune systems, normalizes body functions, and assists your body in self healing. It also affects the sensory system which stimulates production of Neuro-chemicals that brings sense of well-being.

The ultimate goal of the therapy is relaxation that will bring balance and alleviate chronic and acute problems.

...You begin your journey by reclining on a series of flat hot and cool stones, covered by a thick towel, that trace your spine. Your skin welcomes their therapeutic energy like ripples in a pool of water. Within minutes, your body and mind begin to trust and respond to the sensations. Your breathing slows as oils are applied to your skin, the therapist, with hot stones in hands, rhythmically glide across your meridian lines. The waves of heat surprise your senses, quickly converting to bliss.

Starting at the foot, the stones move up your leg, along the side the torso and up the arm, right to your fingertips, all in a delicate, non-stop ritual. Next, your chest and shoulders receive the same mindful practice. Large stones are cradled in your palms and coin-sized stones are lightly wedged between your toes. You completely lose track where the therapist's hands end and the velvety-soft stones begin.

Heated Chakra stones align and balance chief energy centers, sending their healing properties deep to your core. As the first half of the treatment concludes, your body feels there is more to come.

As you gently turn to rest upon your stomach, a large, flat hot stone is carefully placed on the cotton blanket, just above the tail bone supported by the sacrum. The sequence of synchronized movements follow the peaks and curves of your body, careful not to cross your spine or come in contact with bones and joints. Cool stones are placed on key areas to alleviate stress. More heated stones caress and massage every inch of your body with warmth and sedation.

Your senses detect the ritual clicking of stones, followed by the meditative deep breathing of the therapist, who guides you through the treatment to a world beyond. It's as if Mother Nature is healing you with her own tender hands...

Basalt is the most abundant igneous rock. The formation of these rocks from magma is very rapid - it can be a matter of hours or days. Magma is the 'potential' out of which many minerals and rocks will be formed. Magma is identical everywhere, which is why we have such a variety of minerals and basalt stones. This homogeneous matter, that consists of a mixture of substances (several minerals), is called rock. Most present day volcanoes erupt basalt material and are usually made of polycrystalline olivine and iron-magnesium silicate (olivine basalt) with a density that is 2.5 times the weight per volume of water. There are numerous varieties of basalt. The color of basalt stones varies from grey to black, but also can be found in such colors as green, blue, red, purple, etc.

Marble stone is a metamorphic rock. The word “metamorphic” means “to change form”. Metamorphosis is the key word for the transformation of existing rock under the influence of extreme heat and pressure in the interior of the Earth where everything is changed into a new form from the inside out. In order to create marble, limestone has to be pure calcium carbonate (better then 90%) and have a monocrystalline structure.

Marble stones are used in body work for back pain, bone marrow disorders and increases flexibility, both physical and mental.

All marble stones are polished to a fine finish.

The stones are mainly white marble but color variations can include yellow, green, pink etc. (*)
