This guidebook was created to ensure the safe and effective practice of this new modality for the many people who are discovering the healing properties of Stone Therapy. As Humans We Experience stress and trauma in our lives daily, once accumulated this can be stored in the body blocking our energy and damaging our mental well-being and physical health.
