***A Hot Stone Massage can be a wonderful gift, but may not be for everyone on your list. This kind of therapy is wonderful for detoxifying the body, as the heat deeply penetrates muscles and forces metabolic and cellular waste into the lymphatic system.

People with these conditions may need to seek approval from their Doctor prior to scheduling a full Hot Stone Massage session:
AKA Pregnancy Massage: a way to ease the mother-to-be’s aches, pains, and edema during the child-bearing months. This is performed in a side-lying position with lots of pillows that create a fluffy cloud of comfort.

Best performed immediately following childbirth and through the week thereafter, provided that the birth went smoothly. If any surgery including C-Section took place, follow the orders of your doctor and perhaps receive this after 6 weeks. This massage is so wonderful and extremely appreciated by Mom, who is transitioning into caring for a beautiful new child (or children for that matter). The responsibility of breastfeeding can particularly aggravate mom's neck, shoulder and back muscles. Also, we will focus on the abdomen to assist the internal organs' proper placement.
