A couples massage is much more than just a moment of pampering. It is an invitation for you as a couple to immerse yourselves in a new depth of closeness, to consciously experience touch, and to learn together. It is not just about massage techniques, but about the art of attuning yourselves completely to each other – with all your senses.
In my couples massage courses, I accompany you on this journey. I impart the knowledge and procedures that are also described in my book [link] and show you in a practical way how you can implement them as a couple. You will not only learn the basic steps of mindful touch, but also how to build a shared atmosphere of trust, connection, and intimacy.
Cost: CHF 1,200 (including VAT). The course can be completed in 8 hours in one day or in two half-days of four hours each.
What to expect
Every couples massage is unique. We begin with a short conversation to find out where you are, what your wishes are, and what your current needs are. On this basis, we design our time together—flexibly, personally, and at your own pace.
Even though each session is individual, there is a comforting framework. This offers you guidance and security—especially if you have no experience with this type of massage. Discussion time, arriving together, small rituals, and clear structures ensure that you can feel safe at all times.
While one of you receives the massage, the other observes exactly what I am doing. Then you take over the touch yourself. This principle of “somatic learning”—seeing, hearing, feeling, and imitating—enables you to have a particularly intense and lasting experience. The recipient can feel how different qualities of touch feel and give feedback on what is pleasant. This creates a lively learning process between the two of you.
In addition to the physical techniques, the energetic and emotional level is particularly important to me. You practice how to connect not only externally, but also internally – through conscious perception, through rituals, through allowing silence. This can be very simple and does not have to be spiritually “charged” – the decisive factor is that you encounter each other anew as a couple.
Effect and goal
A couples massage invites you to leave everyday life behind, calm your mind, and connect with your heart. After the session, many couples report a feeling of deep connection, greater trust, and a new awareness of each other.
The slow, mindful massage creates a space in which energy can flow freely—sometimes light and floating, sometimes deep and grounding. It is not about performance or perfection, but about togetherness that is supported by mindfulness and presence.
