The atmosphere is a respite form the bustle of Braddock Ave. Soft-spoken Sarah uses the mighty strength in her heart and hands to dissolve the kinks in my mind and body in a caring, logical way.

What is Hot Stone Massage?
Imagine yourself on a summer’s day lying on a large flat rock warmed by the sun. As the heat relaxes your muscles you allow all of your worries to melt away. Slowly, you feel yourself embraced by the richness and depth of Mother Earth.
Hot Stone Massage brings together the richness of this experience and the gift of nurturing human touch. While the warm stones heat the body, we use our hands and the stones to massage and tension and built up scar tissue from the muscles. Your belly receives a nurturing and detoxifying castor oil pack as your arms and legs are anointed with warm oil. The Ayurvedic properties of this method are intended to bring you "out of your head and into your body".
At the Pittsburgh Center for Complementary Health and Healing this hot stone massage treatment is specifically designed to balance your Vata dosha. In other words, it addresses the neurological strain our bodies undergo from living a fast-paced, multi-tasking way of life. We highly recommend trying a Hot Stone Massage if you have chronic muscular tension, poor circulation, mental or emotional stress, or if you want to ward off the deep chill of winter.
Our clients often state that it is like no other hot stone massage in Pittsburgh.
