Hot stone Massage

Both Tara and Claire use their hands and the hot stones to massage, as well as laying the hot stones at key places in the body. The stones warm and relax the muscles so your therapist is able to work at a deeper level with massage techniques. Hot stones are very good relieving the pain of tight and sore muscles, especially in the back, shoulders, neck and legs. Some people book in as they want relief in these areas but some people book because it is such a relaxing treatment.

“I first came for a hot stone massage just to try it out as I had never had one before. Wow is all I can say. It was amazing, I’m sure I was comatose on the table. It was deeply relaxing and my muscles felt so warm and loose afterwards. ”

— Anna Shaw

Claire Sands

Book with Claire

Fascinated by the body’s ability to heal itself, Claire became a Massage Therapist to help other people achieve good health and wellbeing through holistic practices which stimulate the body and mind.

Her career began at Neals Yard Therapy Rooms, where she gained experience in various techniques and adapted these specifically to meet the individual needs of clients. Claire went on to join the luxury cruise line, Holland America, as a Spa Therapist. Accommodating an older clientele onboard gave her the opportunity to help with various conditions, such as Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, observing how massage had the ability to ease symptoms and alleviate pain.

Claire has since trained and worked with Facegym, specialising in face massage as a natural alternative to anti-ageing and effective tension release. Her focus now specifically targets the jaw and relieves symptoms associated with TMJ disfunction, where Claire takes a whole body approach in helping to combat facial tension for good. The ongoing experience of helping people feel better about themselves through looser jaws has been highly rewarding, and Claire continues to deepen her knowledge in sustaining a healthy body and mind for all.
