The one-hour session include stretches, a cool or warm Himalayan salt stone massage, along with a mini facial routine and a cool healing hands facial lymphatic massage. The Himalayan salt stones offers overall wellness for the body.

Containing 84 trace minerals, when heated the salt becomes a natural air purifier which helps to reduce the toxicity of electromagnetic frequencies emitted from all the electronics we are surrounded by. They can be used warm or cold. When warm they alleviate pain, discomfort and encourage relaxation, when cold they will help reduce inflammation and create a toning effect for the body.
