This comprehensive training combines the best of both worlds – rejuvenating facial massage plus therapeutic massage of the neck and face.
You will learn how to heat or cool stones to the proper temperature, choose the equipment you will need that best serves your needs and learn how to sanitize your stones for client safety. The contraindications/considerations of hot stone massage will be reviewed and we will discuss ways to alter sessions to accommodate certain conditions.
Our technique combines acupressure to stimulate the nerves in the face followed by a series of vertical and horizontal moves to relax facial muscles and connective tissue, increase blood flow and stimulate lymph drainage.
Gentle yet precise strokes using stones, both warm and cold, will relax muscles, as well as tone and tighten the face. Relieving tension in the face, jaw, and neck will visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles
We will work specifically with the muscles of the jaw, face, and neck to address tension in the jaw, headaches, and tension held in the neck.
You can use this as a stand-alone treatment, as an add on to your existing massage or as a self-care practice at home.
Participants should bring linens and oil/lotion. Stones will be provided for use in class.
