Massage Tips for Couples
Giving a massage at home is a beautiful way to connect with someone you care about.
Whether it’s a partner, friend, or loved one, taking time to slow down and be present together is something we all need more of.
But if you’re more in the mood to receive than to give, we’ve got you!
a few tips to get you started:
Long, fluid strokes beat short, choppy ones
Keep your movements slow and steady. This helps the receiver feel grounded and relaxed instead of tense or ticklish.
s l o w down
Take your time. Breathe in. Breathe out. Let your pace match your breath and create a calm rhythm for both of you.
Be present
Let go of the mental to-do list. Focus on the person in front of you. Whether you're giving or receiving, presence is the real gift.
Bonus Tips:
Mind your own comfort as you give. If you become uncomfortable you will stop enjoying the massage and will be less likely to give another one in the future.
designating a specific amount of time can help with being present as you know you’ll still have time for your to do list later
