An American massage therapist, Mary Nelson, was the founder of the original hot stone therapy which she called ‘LaStone’. Mary wanted to continue her therapy practice while easing her stiff and painful wrist joints. Using the stones to massage achieved this goal, while also enhancing the massage treatment.
Great variety of massages offered. I highly recommend the hot stone and hot bamboo massages they are amazing
the use of the stones is much more than a tool for the therapist; the warmth of the stones is truly comforting and they help the client relax.
