Hot Stone Massage Diploma Course


Our 1-day Hot Stone Massage Diploma course will teach you the ancient healing art of stone therapy using various massage techniques and warm stones, relaxes the body at its deepest level and is effective in creating harmony and balance in the body and mind. 
 
The subtle energies of stones introduced into a treatment calm the senses, relax muscle tension and promote a meditational state. The heat from the stones penetrates to a deeper level, bringing about physiological changes as well as influencing the body's internal energy flow (Chi), therefore bringing a balance to both body and mind.  Massage is a perfect way to nurture our bodies and ourselves. Incorporating stones and crystals into a treatment can enhance the power of this contact. The massage technique taught in our hot stone massage course originates from ancient times. However, the use of hot stones for massage became popular after Mary Nelson, a massage therapist, introduced a massage technique in 1993 called La Stone Therapy using hot stones.   The heat from the stones relaxes muscles and increases the blood flow to the area being worked on, which further accelerates the healing process. This increase in circulation and the relaxation of the muscles also aids in mental relaxation.
