 Experience Hot Stone Massage from Kathleen Hanson,
R.N., L.M.P.
Hot Stone Massage is an ancient healing art that, while being currently “rediscovered”,
can be traced back to early Japanese, Arabian, and Polynesian cultures.It is
referred to as pohaku in Kauai where Kathleen learned it.
In
this therapy, naturally smooth, dense, black basalt stones are heated in water and applied with oils. They
can be placed on and under the body but mostly are incorporated into the massage while held in the hands of the therapist.
Their deeply penetrating heat can be applied to the whole body and/or targeted to symptomatic areas. This produces
a comfortable release of muscle tension resulting in improved circulation
and detoxification. The treatment is energetically grounding and
profoundly relaxing.
Bird Watching
Camano Island has been named, by the Washington Audubon
Society, one the state’s best areas
for bird watching. There are 125 species recorded at Iverson Spit
alone, including Bald Eagles, Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Rufous
Hummingbirds, Caspian Terns, Loons, Brant, Peregrine Falcons,
and Long-Tailed Ducks.
