Riverstone Therapy, Combining Energy Clearing with Exceptional Massage
Mountain River Therapeutics is pleased to announce the offering of another powerful form of healing therapy -- Riverstone Therapy. In Riverstone Therapy, Stephanie intuitively combines warm basalt stones with cold marble and quartz stones; Reiki Energy Healing; and Intuitive Massage to provide a powerful therapy that is not only deeply relaxing, but aids in physical, emotional, and energetic healing. The stones are used in two ways. Some stones are placed on the body and allowed to rest, letting the heat or cold work through the system. At the same time, Stephanie will use oiled stones as a massage tool to knead and stripe the body, breaking up congested energy, sticky connective tissue, and knotted muscles, while increasing circulation and lymphatic flow.
Benefits of Riverstone Therapy include:
Physical Benefits:
Increased circulation
