What people are saying about Stone Therapy:
|
"I would like to share with you how Nina exposed me to the
truly beautiful and magnificent art form of Stone Therapy.
As a registered massage therapist I wanted to expand my
practice by offering new and different modalities to my
clients. For me Nina took it far beyond that, she connects
the “mind-body-spirit” in a truly beautiful
dance that takes the energy from the hot and cool stones
and applies them in the most stimulating and relaxing way.
I learned so much from Nina and was able to begin offering
Stone Therapy right after I performed my 15 practice massages.
Nina’s love and enthusiasm for the therapy is evident
in the results she is able to achieve in very difficult
cases. I am anxiously waiting for Nina’s advanced
course and her facial course. I have fallen in love with
my stones and especially with the reaction from my clients.
Each person that has experienced a session has returned
for more!
Thanks so much Nina!
Sincere thanks,"

"After following my intuition,
I contacted Nina Gart of Gart International to take the
Stone Therapy Course, Level I. I knew that this course would
compliment my other modalities of Reiki, & Thereuptic
uses of Essential Oils, and I definitely was not dissappointed.
Nina "works from her heart" in her teachings and
interaction with her students. I have a dis-ease of Rheumatoid
Arthritis and she did whatever she could to make sure that
I was comfortable in learning the technique, and allowed
me to come into my own with it, with hardly any pain at
all. Her concern for alleviation of my symptoms was wonderful
and refreshing and she made many suggestions to me as to
what I could do with the stones daily to help myself physically.
She also asked me to follow-up with her and to also keep
a daily health diary.
There are not enough Practitioners today that show the genuine
caring that Nina does to her students and I have referred
many people to her since.
I would like to bless you and your family Nina, for your
heart-filled teachings".

"Stone therapy is one of the most incredible treatments
I have every received and given. I find giving the
treatment to be a very calming and almost a ceremonial
experience. Nina was a wonderful instructor, who through
out the entire class stressed safety of using hot and cold
stones. She is very knowledgeable in this modality,
and could answer any question that we presented to her.
The classroom setting was made to be very comfortable and
relaxing...the perfect environment for learning. Through
Nina's stone therapy class I have been able to give my clients
the tools to help them to achieve total relaxation and a
treatment that has allowed them to totally escape reality.
Which in this stress filled world is essential.
It also allows for an awesome connection between client
and practitioner.
I would recommend to everyone who is interested in helping
others to take this class. This is fabulous gift
that Nina is passing along to her students. Thank
you Nina for sharing your techniques with me. You
have opened a whole new method of healing for me and
my clients".

Nina,“Incredible! That’s the first word that comes
to mind. My Hot Stone Therapy had to be the most relaxing,
satisfied 90 minutes I have had in a long time.
I have had many massages & other treatments during the
last 2 years (primarily because I have chronic low back
pain) but this was by far, the best yet! Not only was the
treatment itself VERY good, but you show a genuine caring
& concern for your clients. That is very nice to see,
especially in a large SPA like this.
I will be back. Right now, I don’t even feel as though
I have a back injury. I will highly recommend you and this
therapy to my friends…”

“During the last few months I have had the pleasure of
getting to know Nina. It has been her healing touch through
the hot stone massage therapy that has helped me enjoy walking
again.
Over the past year I began to lose feeling in both feet and
since the beginning of this year my ankles started swelling
to the size of small footballs. I was experiencing a lot of
pain and stiffness and was having trouble walking. I thought
this was something I’d have to live with and the fear
of loosing my feet was really beginning to scare me. It was
at this point I decided to try something different and that’s
when I came to know Nina. It was during our first session that
she noticed I had no arches and my ankles were badly swollen.
She spent a great amount of time in this area and because of
this the pain in my left foot went from a ten to a three, while
the pain in my right foot went from a ten to a six.
Nina told me of things I could do to help bring this problem
to a very livable level and after o second hot stone massage
the pain in both feet is down to a two level. The hot stone
massage therapy has a way of reaching deep into your muscles
and releasing the stress within them. I have found it to be
great inner body method of healing.”

Thank you so much for imparting your passion and knowledge of stone therapy to so many students.
I'm looking forward to your next class and to learning new, interesting and fun ways to work with mother nature's gift." Alicia Miguel, RMT

Dear Nina,
Honestly, I can say that taking the Stone Therapy Class is one of the most amazing things that I have ever done. You have given to me a gift of ancient knowledge, and re-instated a fire within me to learn, I hope that you hold more courses in Edmonton!
Performing a Stone Therapy Massage is a pleasure. I treasure every moment.
Thank you so much!"

"Hi Nina,
Thank you again for teaching me this amazing treatment. I'm completely
overwhelmed by how effective a therapy is. Here are some quotes from some
of the people who've received a treatment from me.
"If everyone in the world could receive a treatment like this, there'd be
world peace."
"I have suffered with very poor circulation my entire life. My hands are
always white and cold, and I constantly wear sweaters even in the summer.
After one hot stone treatment my circulation is amazing. My hands are pink
and warm and I no longer need to wear sweaters!"
"Every muscule in my body is completely relaxed. I have absolutely no
tension left whatsoever."
Toby Carr

"I have been meaning to send you some customer feedback on Marie and Erin's Stone Therapy services -- nothing but great comments from our guests -- saying that it was the best Stone Therapy treatment they have received at any spa!" Barbara Bell, Raintree Day Spa, Richmond, BC

Nina, my client had fallen 60 feet off a building. A rope around her leg caught and saved her from hitting the ground. She was a crane operator. This happened 8 years ago. Of course she went through many therapies and operations and narcotics for 3 years following. 8 months ago she had her first stone therapy session and has continued every month. She has noticed quite a few substancial changes. Numbness in her foot has started to subside, the pain in her legs has decreased, she is sleeping 5 hours at a time rather than 3, and the peace and calmness she feels in astounding. This is the only therapy she is doing at the time so she knows it is the power of the stones transforming her. Exciting eh?

Nina, the stones have been an amazing addition to my career and my life. People just can’t get enough of them. I now offer them as an “add on” to my therapeutic sessions. The relaxation they induce can not be duplicated. It seems that after a few sessions of using them as “add ones” clients then book for a full session. One of my practice sessions was on the husband of a local hairstylist. She states that he has not been the same man since, he is much more relaxed. Takes things in stride, enjoys the children more and is just way more supportive of her and her role in the family. She shares this with just about anyone who will listen. The stones make my work easier, have taught me better body mechanics and remind me to cleanse my self after each session. Although I find I am tired after days that include more than one full session of stone therapy, it is a different kind of tired and I always wake up the next day rejuvenated and read to go.
