What is a hot stone relaxation massage?

There's a point in every Perth winter where you stop feeling properly warm, and it's usually about then that people discover our relaxation massage with hot stones. It's the most warming treatment on our menu, and through the cooler months it's the one we'd point you to first.

What a hot stone relaxation massage is

Our relaxation massage is a flowing, full-body treatment, and at Fern & Soul the warmed stones are part of the session, not an add-on. Your therapist works with a mix of unhurried hands-on strokes and smooth, heated stones, letting gentle warmth do some of the settling that firmer pressure would otherwise do. It's a very different experience to a remedial massage, which is focused and targeted; this one is about slowing everything down. If you are weighing the two up, our reference page on the difference between remedial and relaxation massage works through what the research found, and it is not what the industry usually sells.

What a session involves

We'll have a quick chat first about how you're feeling and anything you'd like the session to focus on. The stones are smooth river stones, warmed to a comfortable temperature. Your therapist may glide them along the back, shoulders and legs, or rest them on certain spots while working elsewhere with their hands. The warmth is always checked with you, and the pressure stays tailored to what feels good.

Why warmth makes such a difference

Heat and relaxation go hand in hand. When an area is gently warmed, the muscles tend to feel looser and easier to work with, and many people find they switch off much faster than they would in an unheated treatment. On a grey Innaloo day, walking out of a warm session into the winter air is a genuinely lovely feeling, like the effect of a hot bath with an hour of massage built in.

When people tend to book it

This is the treatment people choose when they want comfort rather than intensity: after a busy stretch, in the depths of winter, or when a firmer deep tissue session feels like more than they need. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who's been running on empty.

If you are buying it for someone else, our guide to massage gift vouchers explains how they work and what they cover.

“What an incredible experience! Amy’s attention to detail, her obvious high level of training and knowledge, and the beautiful premises made for what was one of the best, if not the best, remedial massages I have ever had. I have had a lot of massages in my time and this was something else. The only downside is that I had to leave. Thanks Amy, I know your practice is going to get quite popular!”

“Such a great experience at Fern & Soul. The clinic itself is modern and beautifully presented, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Amy was incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable straight away. I had a remedial massage and was really impressed with her technique — she clearly knows what she’s doing and worked on exactly the areas that needed attention. I left feeling so much better and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Amy and Fern & Soul if you’re looking for a great remedial massage in a welcoming, calming space.”
