There are mental health benefits, too. Not only does a hot stone massage give you the opportunity to truly switch off from your responsibilities and help you to relax, but massage can relieve some symptoms of depression and promote feelings of connection too. It can help you feel connected to your body.

"What a beautiful experience Emily offers. She provides a calming & peaceful environment from the moment you arrive & has somehow mastered the art of magically stretching out time where a massage doesn't feel like its over too quickly! Totally recommend The Therapy Room"
"From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted by Emily and made to feel so comfortable. The massage was hands down the best relaxation massage I have ever had. The massage room has an amazing calm ora so I felt at ease as soon as I walked in and climbed up onto the massage bed. Everything was perfect right down to the pressure. I can't wait to rebook again soon. You know the massage is good when you're fighting to stay awake."
