Pregnancy requires precautions. We do not recommend hot stone massage during the first trimester; later trimesters may be allowed with provider approval. Please consult your obstetrician and inform our therapist so we can modify heat level and positioning safely.

The experience is meant to be deeply relaxing, not painful. Stones are warmed to a comfortable temperature and can be adjusted. Tell your therapist immediately if heat or pressure feels uncomfortable so they can modify technique.

Arrive hydrated, avoid heavy meals within an hour, and wear comfortable clothing. Your therapist will consult about health history and preferences before starting. Arriving five minutes early helps complete intake for a relaxed, punctual appointment.

Certain conditions — uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent surgery, skin infections, or deep vein thrombosis — may disqualify you. Always disclose medications and medical history. Our licensed therapists will assess suitability and adapt treatment or recommend alternatives as needed.

Many clients notice immediate muscle release and relaxed breathing after the session. Increased circulation and reduced stiffness can continue improving over 24–72 hours, especially with hydration, rest, and light stretching.

Drink water, rest, and avoid strenuous activity for the remainder of the day. Warm baths and gentle stretching support circulation and relaxation. Contact us if you experience prolonged soreness, dizziness, or unusual reactions after the massage.
