Now Available! Luxurious Natural Hot Basalt Stone Therapy or Cold Stone Marble Treatments!
Natural Basalt Hot Stone Therapy to intensify relaxation response.
Or pure smooth Cold Marble application to stimulate circulation and reduce inflammation.
Both incorporated into a 90 minute massage session!
Little Shoppe Of Restoration's owner/therapist is delighted to offer, as an integral part of your therapeutic massage, the ancient restorative treatment of HOT or COLD STONE application at your request. Beautiful and carefully polished natural basalt stones have been respectfully "harvested" and prepared for this purpose by Native Americans from our southwestern states. The stones are heated in hot water and applied to your oiled body in long, quick glides. The stones are then left to gently warm your body as your therapist continues your massage. The weight and heat (or coolness) of the stones increases your relaxation and healing response through temperature and weight. You will leave with your feet barely touching the ground!
It's Mutual Hospitality!

Mutual Hospitality Means Your Therapist:
Is a licensed professional who strives to provide you with the best in therapeutic massage. She will arrive on time with all needed supplies and leave as quickly and as quietly as possible after your session. Has your comfort and modesty in mind always. Will need instruction as to where to set up and wash up.
Your therapist requests:
A GROUND FLOOR room for your session...unless a strong person is available to carry the massage table to an upper or lower floor. (This applies to condominium complexes as well. Thank you.)
Please allow your therapist approximately15 minutes to set up & cover the massage table & organize supplies.
Two or Three standard or larger bed pillows with pillow cases you don't mind getting a bit of massage oil on. These are used to support your knees or arms during your session.
A light but sturdy kitchen or folding chair for the therapist.
Preparation of the atmosphere in the room. Do you like bright lights, jazz & the stimulation of an exercise room? Or what about tea light candles, incense and the the sound of a zen fountain? The atmosphere is up to you to prepare prior to your therapist's arrival.
But "Little Shoppe" offers a few suggestions which will facilitate your therapy session.
Please plan to complete abrief health formwhile your therapist "sets up shoppe".
Please tell your therapist if you suffer from any acute or chronic health condition which could contraindicate massage (see health form elsewhere in website).
Do reschedule if you develop a fever or feel as if you are "coming down with something."
If you are pregnant, please get a signed consent form from your physician stating it is safe for you to receive massage.
A warm shower or bath will help soften your muscles & begin your relaxation just prior to your massage.
Please do not drink alcohol or overeat before your massage.
Try not to schedule important meetings immediately after your massage.
Both men & women are welcome at Little Shoppe. Proper draping with sheet &/or towel is used to protect your modesty. The therapist will make every reasonable attempt to leave the room as you get on & off the massage table.
