Lava Shell Massage (Swedish)
Be a little shellfish with a hot lava shell massage. These smooth little babies will melt away the tension and leave you feeling deeply relaxed. This treatment is the eco-friendly version of hot stone massage. Tiger clam shells from the coast of the Philippines are now being recycled and polished for use in heated massage treatments. Although the shells are heated, they are not used as deeply as the hot stones. Using heat in a massage treatment helps in the removal of toxins from the cells, increases function of tissue cells, relieves painful arthritic joints, enhances blood flow, relaxes sore and stiff muscles and just feels awesome!

Cellulite Treatment
Cottage cheese is great in lasagna, but none of us want to see that texture on our hips, thighs, or bum. So, we have developed a treatment to reduce the appearance of cellulite. We begin with a connective tissue massage, followed by the application of products designed to encourage the movement of fat molecules and enhance the flow of lymph to carry the fat away. We also apply negative pressure to realign the fibrous bands of tissue holding the fat cells within them. This is not your typical relaxation session folks. We are seriously promoting a change in your skin's appearance. A series of 8 treatments is recommended about a week apart. This treatment will assist you with your battle against cellulite, but it is not intended to be your only ammunition. A healthy diet along with exercise, proper hydration, and some homework are a must.

Kick it up a notch with heated stones. Warm basalt river rocks are strategically placed on areas of tight, sore, aching muscles to penetrate heat deep within the tissue.

We have included a video from a spa that explains the hot stone massage!
