Couples Massage Courses

How many of us wish we had more physical contact with our partners and yet, when the kids are finally in bed, the evening meal over and some semblance of privacy returns how many of us actually turn the T.V. off instead of dozing in front of it or go to bed early without any thought of sleeping?

There are so many stressful situations to deal with these days. At work there are deadlines, targets, punctuality, responsibility and interaction with customers and clients. At home we have kids, school, meal times, bills and a thousand other things. No wonder we're tired! No wonder that we sit in separate seats to watch T.V. and roll onto our sides and fall fast asleep each night.

Do you remember how much you touched each other when you first met? Kissing, cuddling and holding hands? We let things like that slip when we get busy and stressed. In this politically correct world we're not encouraged to touch and cuddle, not even our own children, so they also lose the art of touch and the comfort and healing that it brings.

My massage career began when my husband of 22 years (and his aching lower back) and I (with my locked-up shoulders) attended a 'massage for relaxation' course. We re-discovered touch and I realised just how powerful massage can be, how it is beneficial on an emotional as well as a physical level. By allowing yourself to be touched in a non-sexual way calms and comforts your mind as well as relaxing and repairing your body. So massage = trust = calm & closeness.

This is why I've put together a special course, just for couples, to help re-establish touch and ease the stresses of life. What greater gift to give your loved one than your time and care for their well-being?

The course consists of 4 private sessions each with:

• 30 minutes of information and theory
  • anatomy & physiology
  • what stress does and how to combat it
  • oils, creams and other media
  • moods and conditions
• followed by 30 minutes or 1 hour of practical massage, depending on if 1 or 2 people are learning the techniques.

This is not a class; it is just you and I.

I am not a sex therapist, but I can help you regain that trust, comfort and 'skin hunger'. I am not a Massage Instructor, I'll just be advising you on the correct way to massage for relaxation. You will gain no qualification, only confidence.

You don't have to be with your partner, you can bring a friend or relative to practice the techniques on (you will probably find no shortage of volunteers!) and the session dates and times can be booked at your convenience and are held at the Rest & Repair therapy room in Canewdon.

The cost is £150 for 1 person learning massage or £250 for 2 people learning.

So instead of an expensive romantic meal out, why not book this course and enjoy some romantic, beneficial nights in? Think of the calories you'll burn!!!
