Easier than you probably think!
It’s probably something you’ve already talked about and wished you could do. Learning massage together. Not the ouchy massage you find at the mall. Not the sterile, high precision massage of a day spa. But a tender, intentional and skilful massage, between yourselves, at any time that suits you using equipment you probably have around the home already.
So many couples are afraid to massage each other because they are not naturally “touchy”, they feel that they aren’t any good at massage, or they think that they will hurt their partner.
As humans we are hardwired to respond to touch. Our bodies release a powerful cocktail of hormones when we are touched by those who love us. These hormones relieve stress, soothe aches and pains, and reinforce that feeling of closeness.
Learning to massage your partner is easier than you think is a whole lot of fun and can take the intimacy in your relationship to another level and I’d love the privilege to show you how to grow your competence and confidence in speaking the Love Language of Touch.

Husband, Father and Massage Guy
Massaging each other is supposed to say, "I love you". You may feel awkward learning how to massage - just like I feel awkward learning most sports (believe me I'm not talented at sport). You may feel like you have two left hands or that you're all thumbs. Massage is a skill. The more you practice the more comfortable and confident you will feel. Some people ... and I mean some ... will have the golden hands that just makes every massage feel like it’s been performed by an angel. And everyone else ... your massage is going to feel good. Back yourself on that one. You're going to do great!
There's a couple of parts to this question: So let's get a few things straight. I'm going to teach you the skills to give a wonderful and soothing massage at home. My techniques are safe for you and safe for your partner. You should only ever use the pressure that you are comfortable to give. If your partner wants massage firmer than you can comfortably give, then they need to go and see a professional massage therapist. No different to servicing a car or doing your tax. You make pressure by leaning in in with your body, not by squeezing harder with your hands. And I'm going to show you some tips for a firmer massage towards the end of the course. First have some fun, relax and enjoy giving and receiving massage.
Great question! If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Oh my! Massage doesn't HAVE to hurt to work! You're allowed to enjoy massage! At the start of this course, I'll walk through a number of things you need to be careful of - some common health conditions. You wouldn't want to massage firmly on someone with a bleeding disorder or brittle bones now! My techniques are simple and safe to give and receive. I'll show you gliding techniques that feel wonderful. As long as you're not leaning in hard like you would be trying to remove a nut from the wheel of your car! There simply isn't any need to go hard.
You're learning massage to demonstrate love to your partner. I don't think they'll care if you know the difference between the corpus colosum and the puborectalis, or if you know what is a sphenopaletine ganglioneuralgia! (that last one you might know as a brain freeze). I'll explain all my techniques in easy to understand words. All in English, as long as you can understand my Australian accent. Personally though, my table once won at a quiz night because I knew the name for the area between the eyebrows and above the nose.
When I took my first massage class, I was genuinely surprised how many men where there, whose motivation was to massage a prospective partner, with the hope that one thing might lead to another. If you are giving massage with the hope of getting sex, you are massaging for the wrong reason. That said, there is no doubt that couples who massage each other also enjoy great sex lives. Giving massage to your partner is an incredible act of physical and emotional intimacy and it should be given without expectation of any reward. It is an act of love that speaks of intimacy at a cognitive, physical and emotional level. That said, build your foundation of love in your relationship, give great massage, and great sex can happen spontaneously. And if you're looking for tips to massage "down south" you can find online course for that, just not here 😊
