Aesthetic Benefits
With slimming and anti-cellulite effects, stone massages improve body contours and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
How Stone Massages Are Performed
Hot stone massages are performed with heated basalt stones, placed at strategic points on the body over the chakras. These stones are then used by the therapist to apply gliding movements, facilitated by the use of warmed essential oils.
In cold stone massages, the stones are kept at a low temperature. During this massage, the therapist uses the stones to perform gliding, kneading, twisting, and rolling movements. These movements penetrate deeper layers of the skin, and when combined with the cold and the stones' proximity to the body, they provide slimming and draining benefits.
When cold stone massages are performed on the face, the therapist focuses primarily on firming and sculpting movements, using specific products with rejuvenating properties, such as those from the renowned international brands Karin Herzog and Linda Meredith.

What is the advantage of getting a draining massage with cold stones?
The effects of a draining massage, such as reducing excess fluid in the body and eliminating toxins, are enhanced with a draining massage using cold stones.
This is because the cold stones have a vasoconstrictor effect, which improves blood circulation and, consequently, boosts the draining effects of the massage.
Why get a holistic massage with heated volcanic stones?
The primary benefit is related to the alignment of the chakras, which provides an energetic rebalance that manifests in various aspects of life.
The hot stones, which are energized before the massage, align energy with the chakras, leading to a rebalancing of the internal energy flow.
In addition to energetic balance, the holistic massage with heated volcanic stones, thanks to the warmth, releases muscle tension, providing deep relaxation, with benefits that also extend to the psychological realm.
