Private Tantra Massage Sessions
What is Tantra Massage?
Tantra Massage is a deeply healing and sensual full-body experience that combines breathwork, ritual, and conscious touch. It invites you to reconnect with your natural vitality and the unconditioned self beneath layers of tension or shame. Each session honours your boundaries and invites presence, trust, and self-awareness.
Who is Tantra Massage for?
Tantra Massage is open to all adults, singles and couples. It can help you reconnect with your sensuality, especially if you’ve felt disconnected through stress, responsibility, or relationship patterns. It’s equally valuable if you already feel attuned and wish to explore intimacy more deeply.
What should I expect from my first session?
Your session begins with a short conversation to revisit your intentions, boundaries, and any concerns we’ve discussed beforehand. The space is prepared with warmth, soft light, and calming music. We begin clothed in a lunghi (sarong), allowing time to settle and relax. As the session unfolds, touch becomes slower and more intimate, always guided by consent.
I have suffered sexual abuse in the past. Can Tantra Massage help me?
Tantra Massage can be part of a healing journey for those rebuilding trust and connection with their bodies. It’s not a replacement for therapy, but many find it supportive alongside professional guidance. You will always set the pace, and nothing happens without your explicit consent.
How should I prepare for my first treatment?
Eat something light an hour or more before your session. Take a shower at home so you feel fresh and relaxed. Wear comfortable clothing, and please arrive on time. The session lasts around two hours, so plan a little quiet time afterwards to integrate.
Is the goal of Tantra Massage to have an orgasm?
No. The focus is on presence and awareness — awakening energy and pleasure throughout the body without seeking a specific outcome. Orgasms may happen, but they are neither expected nor required. The true aim is to feel more alive and at peace in your body.
Will I be naked during the massage? Will you be naked?
Yes. Tantra Massage embraces the natural human form as part of its philosophy of acceptance and equality. Both giver and receiver begin covered in a lunghi and may gradually undress as trust and comfort deepen. Nudity is never sexualised and never forced.
How do I book a session or workshop?
You can book via the contact form or explore dates on the Workshops page. Once you reach out, you’ll receive confirmation and preparation details by email.
Is Tantra Massage safe?
Absolutely. Sessions are guided by clear boundaries, active consent, and confidentiality. You are always in control, and nothing happens without your agreement.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are held in a calm, private space in Stroud, Gloucestershire — designed to feel safe, warm, and grounding.
Tantra Massage Workshops
What happens during a workshop?
Each workshop blends theory, demonstration, and paired practice. You’ll learn principles of conscious touch, communication, and presence. Sessions include grounding, movement, and breathwork to cultivate trust and sensitivity.
Do I need to come with a partner?
No, you’re welcome to attend solo. Participants are paired mindfully, and boundaries are always respected. Couples may stay together unless they choose otherwise.
What should I bring?
Bring a sarong, water bottle, notebook, and loose clothing. Everything else — mats, towels, oils — is provided. Accommodation and meals vary by event; see each listing for details.
Is nudity part of the workshops?
Some workshops include optional partial or full nudity, depending on the theme. This is always explained in advance, guided with sensitivity, and never required — consent is central to the experience.
How do I book?
Workshop bookings are made through the Workshops page. Each listing includes dates, location, and booking details. After registering, you’ll receive a welcome email to prepare.
