Hot Stone Massage with Christine Elphick

Although the concept is ancient, the method we use now in Spas and Beauty Salons has been adapted by many body therapists until we have a fabulous system of massage.

Hot Stone Massage is truly a mind, body and soul experience. On a physical level your client will experience all the benefits of a massage, but with the added benefits of the deep penetrating heat given out by the stones. The warmth and comfort is soothing for the mind and body, plus on a soul level the energy of the stones is both grounding and energising. Cold stones are also incorporated to balance the temperature and decongest puffy areas.

The training will enable you to carry out a full body Hot Stone Massage and the ability to break the method down so that you can carry out pedicures, facials, back treatments etc as stand alone treatments.

Topics covered include : historical ways stones have been used – honouring the elements (fire, water, earth, air) – grounding and protection – cleansing your stones and crystals – a little light on Chakras – the concept of embracing Mother Earth and honouring Father Sky – closing down and sealing in the energy
