About Brian Polzin: I am certified in Japanese Hot Stone Massage and LaStone Therapy (the 'Original' Hot Stone Massage). I studied with Mary Hannigan, the founder of LaStone, and with Bruce Baltz, for Deep Tissue LaStone. The LaStone method incorporates some energy (Reiki-like) philosophy into the use of heated stones used in a basically Swedish massage technique. The foundation of my Hot Stone Therapy comes from that education. I have also studied extensively on Japanese Hot Stone & Japanese GemStone Massage as presented by Mark Hess & Shogo Mochizuki. I incorporate many techniques taught from the Japanese perspective on using hot stones for massage. I also include forms from Carollanne Crichton's Healing Stone Massage; Karen Chabot's Sacred Stone Therapy; Natural Stone Massage; River Stone Massage; TH (therapeutic) Stone Massage; and many cultural / historical uses of stones for healing I've found in my continuing research of massage throughout the world, particularly from Hawaiian and other Pacific Islands traditions. I put all of this together for my unique take on the use of stones in my Massage Practice to give my clients a personal and customizable treatment.
