Who needs couples massage?

Are you stressed?

Does your back hurt?

Do you have trouble sleeping?

Are you married, in a relationship or have a good friend that you can buy a few beers and have them agree to touch you?

The truth is everyone benefits from couples massage. It's one of the best ways to relieve minor aches and pain while strengthening your relationship and sparking things up for a romantic evening. Come to think of it, that's the best list of multi-tasking I've heard in a long time.

Increase lymph fluid flow-an important part of detoxing the body

Increase fertility-fertility problems in this country continue to rise

Enhance intimacy-THIS MEANS YOUR PARTNER SAYS YES MORE OFTEN!

"She can't go deep enough on my back to make me feel better."

There are over 300 different modalities of massage, Thai Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Swedish, Lomi Lomi; just to name a few. There are so many different ways to influence and enhance wellness in the body and many of these techniques are easy and almost effortless if you know how.

Here, I have included Thai massage moves where the therapist uses body positioning, balance and their own body weight to influence their partner’s muscles. We use traditional Swedish strokes that feel luxurious, require little effort and greatly increase Lymph fluid flow. And lastly, we introduce the use of Hot Stones. The use of heat has been of therapeutic value for millenia and Hot Stones are a natural choice of tool for this process. The heat easily, retain heat for a prolonged use, add weight to massage strokes and
