What Happens During a Couples Massage?

Couples massage usually takes place in a hotel room or in your own surroundings. You and your partner will be massaged in the same room at the same time. Aromatherapy oils, soft music and our healing touch will create the perfect romantic atmosphere. 

As for what to do during a couples massage, it's fine to talk to each other through the massage if you want, or be quiet and enjoy the session. It's really up to you.

What Are the Benefits of Couples Massage?

Couples massage is a great way to relax, reconnect, and spend quality time together. It is also a great idea to introduce therapeutic massage to a partner who has never gotten a massage before, in a way that makes them feel more comfortable the first time. Some people are apprehensive about getting a massage, and the presence of a partner, friend or relative who is sharing the same experience is reassuring.

Many people usually discover that therapeutic touch is very relaxing and restorative. Once they experience a couples massage, they are more willing to book a massage on their own.
It can also be a good choice if you're traveling with someone you don't get to see often enough such as a sister, girlfriend, mom or best friends and you want to spend as much time together as possible.

Couples Massage can be a great way to reconnect with your partner or enjoy some quality time with a close friend or  family member. However, all forms of massage have contraindications to certain conditions and these may vary depending on the massage you choose. The list below outlines standard massage contraindications.
