These private sessions truly 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. If a couple is doing 1 session or multiple sessions will determine how fast we can go and how much material we can cover and with how much detail. The point is, the session is what you want it to be, and we will have fun making it yours!

​

There are generally 3 ways the sessions tend to go.

​

• Both participants take turns learning specific techniques and practice on one another. It includes demonstrations by the therapist and hands-on, detailed instruction.

• One person is the primary giver and the other is the primary recipient.

• One person attends the session alone and practices on a model while being instructed. This type of session is tailored for people who usually want to use a massage table and who want to provide, and often surprise, his or her partner with new skills.

​

Since most people do not own their own massage table, we do not rely on them during the lesson. Instead, you'll learn how to massage different body parts in a variety of positions and ways that you can easily replicate at home. For 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 and 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.

 

We can spend the sessions dividing the time equally so both people can learn the techniques while others prefer to focus on one person for the entire session. It makes a great gift as well!

​

Please note it is always best to bring a partner with you. It is much harder to learn the techniques when only working with an instructor. If we need to pay someone to sub in for a partner, the session will likely cost more.

​

Each session is $275 and lasts 90 minutes. Packages of 3 are $750.

 

Whatever your goals and preferences are, we will customize the session specifically for you!
