Crystal Bodywork Therapy
Having a hot stone treatment has been taken to a new level - enjoy not only the warming effects but also connect with mother earths healing properties of crystals.
All crystals used have been sourced across Australia, with a deep connection to the land on which we live, providing us another opportunity to ground and connect with the sacred land we call home.
The crystals are carefully chosen according to their healing properties, and are heated or cooled to offer a deeper dimension of restorative and relaxation to the body.
