Choose the body massage first
Pick Swedish Massage if you like longer strokes and a steady pace. Choose Deep Tissue Massage if you’d like more focused work in a particular area, such as between the shoulders. Both list hot stones, so you can choose based on the type of massage you’re looking forward to.
If you want time for both body and foot massage, look at the Special Combo. It lists hot stones alongside an herbal foot bath, foot and scalp massage, Swedish massage and aromatherapy. When you book, ask the studio how the warm stones fit into the appointment length you’re considering.
Tell your therapist what warmth feels comfortable
Warmth is a preference you can discuss alongside pressure. Before your massage begins, say whether you’ve tried warm stones before and how you usually respond to heat. You can ask your therapist how they’ll use the stones with the service you chose and when they’ll check in about the temperature.
If the warmth feels too intense during the session, say so as soon as you notice it. You can ask your therapist to move on from a spot or skip the stones altogether. If you’d prefer to skip essential oil or have a sensitivity to scented products, bring that up before the massage, too.
Pick a length that fits the rest of the session
The menu lists Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage in 30-, 60-, 90- and 120-minute appointments. The Special Combo comes in 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Decide whether you want a short visit focused on one area or extra time for broader work, then check availability for your preferred length.
If you’re booking mainly for the warm stones, call before reserving a time. Tell the studio which appointment length you have in mind and which areas you’d like your therapist to spend time on. They can talk through how the stones fit into that appointment and answer questions about the session.
