60 Mins: £89
Hot Stone Massage is a nurturing therapy that uses soothing warmth delivered through gentle, flowing pressure. Smooth basalt stones are used to glide over the body and ease muscle tension, helping you feel both physically lighter and more emotionally grounded.
If your body’s feeling heavy, tense, or just tired from the pace of life, Hot Stone Massage offers the kind of complete rest that’s hard to come by. The warmth alone can be incredibly calming, especially if you have trouble unwinding.
Why Choose Hot Stone Massage?
Some therapies offer release, while others offer relaxation. Hot Stone Massage gives you both, with the gentle weight and warmth of the stones encouraging your muscles to relax more completely, making each stroke more effective without the need for added pressure.
With Starling Holistic, your hot stone session is focused entirely on you, providing space for you to fully relax and let go of tension.

What happens during a Hot Stone Massage?
During a hot stone massage, warm basalt stones are wrapped in towels and placed over the lower back to allow gentle heat to sink into the muscles without overwhelming the skin.
The stones are also used as an extension of the hands, their smooth surface and steady warmth gliding across the body in slow, flowing strokes. This combination helps soften deeper layers of tension and encourages a more fluid, connected massage experience.
A session typically lasts around 60 minutes, allowing enough time to work across the back, shoulders, arms, legs, and neck, depending on your needs.
