Ifestus Stone Ritual

Heated stones placed and glided along the body to open the muscle before the hands do the rest.

90,00 

Smooth basalt stones are warmed and rested along the spine while the therapist works elsewhere, then used as an extension of the hand — the heat reaches deeper than pressure alone can.

Particularly good in winter, and for anyone who is always cold.

The session includes

  • Full-body treatment as described above
  • Pressure adjusted at the start and at any point during
  • Choice of oil blend
  • Warm shower and tea afterwards

Please arrive ten minutes before your appointment so you have time to change and shower. Robe, slippers, towels and shower products are provided.

Tell your therapist about any injuries, recent surgery, allergies or pregnancy when you arrive — the treatment is adapted, not cancelled.

Book online at any hour, or send a message and a person will answer within opening hours. Same-day appointments are often available.

Cancellation is free up to 12 hours before your appointment. After that we ask for 50% of the treatment price.
