Stone medicine is as old as the earth. There is a Spirit within each stone, alive with sacred sweet earth energy. They are the Proverbial Record Keepers of the world, containing all the stories and secrets of Mother Earth. I developed Sacred Stone Massage Therapy to Newport, RI in 1999 while renting a summer home on a powerful stone beach. I have been a stone collector since I was 5 years old and wanted to bring the power of stones into my healing practice. My intention for this course is for my students to learn and apply these techniques and theories in order to elevate their healing practice and raise the vibration of the planet by exploring and attuning to the mineral kingdom. By adding Sacred Stone Therapy to my traditional massage practice, I witnessed my clients sinking deeper into a transcendental state that could only be attained while using the heat and shakti of the sea stones. They enjoyed my regular massages, but they called my Sacred Stone Therapy as “Spiritual Experience” that interfaced harmoniously with the restorative science of massage therapeutics. The stones embody the ability to remove stress, melt knots, soften pain and with proper placement, they can correct postural imbalances. I was known for my deep massages, but when I added the heat from the stones, I could go even deeper without pain. I was booking 3 months out with amazing results.

I wrote the manual and developed the instructional companion video to teach students how to create healing stone layouts, gridding protocols and practice gliding, spinning, edging and flipping techniques designed to calm the central nervous system, improve systemic detoxification, and impart a peaceful glowing energy. My method is unique and different because I apply time-proven Ayurvedic, scientific modalities and theories that direct energy towards the “terminal ends” of the body and work with the chakra system combined with deep tissue effleurage. My stone placements are designed to enliven the “earth-bound” chakras, activate the natural healing intelligence of the body, awaken prana (life force), renewing the sweetness of life.

Using heated and chilled mineral composites of granite, feldspar, quartz and magnetite, this treatment integrates traditional massage techniques, creatively blending science, physiology, anatomy, medicine and modern-day therapeutic touch with spirit. It’s a very holistic and comprehensive way to perform hot stone therapy. Classes in Rhode Island include a beautiful guided sacred stone harvest and ceremony. Stones are free in my Newport classes.

Students can find directions for how to harvest their own stones at local rivers and beaches in the manual. The section of the manual shows photos the sizes, shapes of each stone and identifies the stones that are specific for each body part. It’s ok to use stones you have collected on your own prior to this course if their shapes and sizes align with the photos in the manual. If you don’t live near a river or beach to harvest your own stones, visit this link to purchase a set from me.  When a student purchases a set of Sacred Stone from me, I meditate and pray as I repeat your name to align with your energy. Once I feel the alignment, I am guided directly to the stones that want to be with you to do this beautiful healing work. It helps if you email a photo of yourself or friend me on Facebook to I can see your photo so make sure you receive the exact stones that want to be with you.

You may also use your own gemstones and crystals from your own collection in place of the 4 upper chakra stones used in the video. It is also possible to use simple small sea or river stones in lieu of crystals on the chakras. I prefer raw gemstones for this work, but it’s ok to use polished ones.
