About the treatment
What is Relaxing & Hot Stone Massage?
A relaxing massage uses long, flowing strokes and steady pressure to help your body and mind slow down. It is the treatment most people picture when they think of massage, and a good place to start if you are new to it.
At Soma there are several ways to enjoy it:
- Swedish-style relaxing massage, full body or back, neck and shoulders.
- Aroma hot stone massage, where warm stones and aromatic oils help tension ease away.
- Indian head massage, focusing on the head, neck and shoulders.
- Holistic massage for women, tailored to each stage of life with bespoke aromatherapy blends.
- Duo treatments, so you can enjoy a massage side by side with a partner, friend or family member.
Each practitioner has their own style, so have a look at their profiles below to see who feels right for you.

Questions
Questions about Relaxing & Hot Stone Massage
Which relaxing massage should I choose?
If you are new to massage, a Swedish-style relaxing massage is a lovely place to start. Choose hot stone if you enjoy warmth, or Indian head massage if you hold tension in your head, neck and shoulders.
Can I book a massage for two?
Yes. Nova Serene offers duo treatments so you can have a massage side by side. Mention it when you get in touch.
What should I wear?
Come in something comfortable. Your practitioner will explain how the session works, and you will be covered throughout apart from the area being massaged.
How much pressure is used?
Relaxing massage uses steady, comfortable pressure. You can ask for it lighter or firmer at any time.
