Suzy Chumbo,  Shiatsu Therapist, Dipl S.T.,  LaStone Therapist:  Shiatsu Therapy;  LaStone Therapy

Suzy started in skin care at the Aveda Institute in Victoria B.C. where she graduated in 1998 for esthetics. She eventually added LaStone Therapy to her repertoire in 2000. This therapy involves basalt stones and marble stones which help stimulate the autonomic nervous system and increase oxygen in the body. Along the way she was introduced to shiatsu and found this treatment to be very balancing and healing. Being drawn to shiatsu for many years, she found her way to the Shiatsu School of Canada. She now continues to develop her skills in shiatsu through practice and continued education.

This hot stone massage is a unique treatment that combines the use of thermotherapy, energy work stone placement and the spinal layout. Basalt stones formed from volcanic lava are used to penetrate heat deep into the body, which will help with circulation increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the cells. Basalt stones carry energy from mother earth to the body, which gives the feeling of being grounded. This service will benefit poor ciculation and cold joints. Sore muscles are soothed quickly by the penetrating heat. The use of thermotherapy is also muscle toning.
