A soothing massage with warm or hot Irish stones!
Een set of beautiful flattened stones, created by Mother Nature herself, have been picked up by us down at the rough western coast of County Wicklow, Ireland. During bouts of bad weather the waves beat on the coastline with unrelenting force, and the pebbles and stones out there have endlessly been rubbed against each other with abasive movements, resulting in flattened, well rounded forms.
On good days these stones lay about and glint in the sunshine. There in a quiet cove at Wicklow, we picked up some thirty of the most beautiful naturally flattened stones. We now have a number of mid size and then some light and heavy ones... Objects to choose from for every one's taste.
We heat up the stones in a water container "au bain marie" up to about 50 degrees Celcius and we give this massage with grape seed or almond oil of another oil chosen by you.
This massage is given by Kees and/or door one of the colleages such as Hansi. We may also perform as a team with Nina, Mireille or Natasja. Or Alya.
Being Quiet and Trusting
Giving and receiving massage takes place in inner calmness and concentration on the basis of serenity and trust.
The massage which we give is powerful and slow ; it is called 'holistic' or 'intuitive'. It is applied with four full hands on the partner, and is aimed at relaxation and in the best of cases it may trigger - in the one who receives - an inner sensation of flow, peace, serenity and bliss. It is quite allright to enjoy and the human mind may soar as well. Our motivation is in the pleasure of giving and receiving.
Structure of the 4 hand Session
Initially the body may be fully covered with a cloth made out of the finest French linen. The stones are initially placed on top of the sheet. Later on the client is free to choose to be covered or to be naked during the session.
We strive for a delicious touch with our fingers and the stones. With fine oils.
You will be laying like a prince on the massage table. We will caress and massage your body from top to bottom, first the back and then the front.
After the pulsing session which lasts a few minutes we will treat one body part at the time. We enjoy massaging these body parts: in a table massage the head, neck, shoulders, back and the sides, arms and hands ; upper chest ; ribs, stomach, buttocks (if you wish), legs and last but not least, both feet.
We also enjoy doing some pulsing and stretching. It is also possible to perform a quiet dance, in which the person who receives massage fully accepts the slow limb movements and relaxation.
Within a session of a good hour a choice is made by the client of the body parts mentioned above; this selection is geared both towards the situation and the needs of the one who gives and receives. Before starting we do appreciate a short talk and perhaps some loosening the muscles and grounding the body.
At the end of the session various parts of the body have been touched with energy and care; regaining the sense of unity of the body is reached by the repeated feathery light trace on the whole body of 'energizing finishing strokes'
Thus the whole session, includig a little talk beforehand, takes about a hour and a half to almost two hours.

MASSAGE THERAPIY AGAINST DEPRESSION
Psychologists at Illinois University have researched effectiveness of massage therapy. A series of visits to the masseur may reduce depression, anxiety and pain. Even single visits may help alleviating anxiety and pain and may reduce hypertension and a high heart rate.
