Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage combines the benefits of heat and massage together in one unified treatment.
Specially selected smooth basalt stones are placed on the body as well as being pushed along the skin’s surface to help relieve muscular aches and pains and induce relaxation.
The effect of one stroke with a hot stone is between 5-10 times stronger than a massage with hands alone.
Just imagine the experience of being enveloped in warmth, with all of your aches and pains simply melting away with the relaxing heat of the stones.
Stone therapy relaxes the body at its deepest level having profound effects on the mental, physical and spiritual levels of one’s being.
when is it available?
We have two massage therapists offering Hot Stone Massage here in Blandford, Dorset. Again they each work different days but cover the whole week between them.
Karen Donnelly LCCH RSHom ITEC
I am the clinic owner and a qualified Homeopath, Sports Massage & Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, & Bio Resonance Practitioner .
I took over ownership of the clinic in July 2014 and since then it has undergone a complete refurbishment programme. It has now been totally transformed it into a modern, welcoming and comfortable clinic.
My mission is to provide a friendly holistic multi-disciplined healthcare centre, where people know they can come for good health advice and the highest standards in individual holistic care.
I also hold a Licentiate in Homeopathy, awarded by the Contemporary College of Homeopathy where I studied under Mike Bridger, one of the best known and most well respected homeopaths in the UK.
I have been using homeopathy for over 19 years following my son’s treatment of eczema as a baby. We had tried all of the usual creams and the next step was steroids, but I was not happy to go down that route. A friend recommended homeopathy, but I was skeptical and knew nothing about it at the time. However, she persuaded me to give it a go. He was given one pill and 24 hours later his eczema had completely disappeared, not even a hint of redness remained.
This was enough to convince me that homeopathy worked and I have since given up a career as an accountant as a result.
I am also registered and fully insured with the Society of Homeopaths.
In addition I have 19 years experience as a massage therapist offering a variety of treatments including sports massage, Swedish, Holistic and Manual Lymphatic Drainage..
