Have you ever given a short massage but felt unsure if you were doing it well, got tired very fast, felt pain in your joints or didn't know how it really felt to the recipient? Have you ever received a shoulder rub or foot massage that you just wanted to end (hopefully not from us) because it was either just not good, unhelpful or painful?

 

Well then...

 

Learn how to give a great massage by taking one of our Partner Massage Lessons! In this fun and interactive session, you will learn the very basics of massage and touch while learning how to use your body in ways that increase leverage and reduce strain. An emphasis is also placed on communication skills so that each person understands how to give and receive constructive feedback and make each other feel safe and supported. Learn how this program can be a great complement to couples therapy.

​

Since most people do not have a massage table, we do not rely on them. Instead, you'll learn how to massage different body parts in a variety of positions and ways that you can easily replicate at home. Fore example:

​

• Give a great shoulder massage while your partner sits on a chair or on the floor in front of you.

• Give a relaxing neck and scalp massage with your partner seated or laying on a bed.

• Release trigger points that cause headaches.

• Learn how to safely do gentle neck and low back traction.

• Give the calves a trigger point release while you both sit on the couch.

• Reduce chest and shoulder tightness from poor posture.

• Learn the fundamentals and practical application of massage.

In-Person Sessions

 

The primary and best way to experience this service is in person with your partner. The sessions are customized to meet your specific goals, needs, comfort level and experience. Sometimes both partners want to work on each other while other times one partner wants to work on the other partner the entire time. During most sessions, we don't rely on a massage table but some couples have one at home so these sessions can be very different than others. During some sessions we use more massage cream than others, depending on the areas we are working on, one's preference and a variety of factors. The point is, the session is what you want it to be, and we will have fun making it yours!

Online Course

​​​

Mark created this online version of the program  that gives you unlimited access to our professional videos demonstrating all of our techniques. It also includes an extensive, comprehensive manual with detailed instructions, photos and illustrations for dozens of techniques.

​

Group Classes 

 

We are not currently offering this service to the the general public. We can, however, create a customized class for groups of 3 to 10 couples at one of our locations or at yours. The class would in all likelihood last about 2-3 hours and offer participants all of the same benefits of the Partner Massage Lesson in a fun group environment with multiple instructors.
