Tantric Massage

Tantric massage is an intuitive massage that combines physical touch with emotional and spiritual aspects. 

This massage draws deeply from the ancient philosophy of Tantra, but is not an original Tantric ritual. As a structured bodywork practice, Tantric massage was created in twentieth century Europe, as part of neo-Tantra movement.

​​

Key Elements:

Awareness and presence: Both giver and the receiver of the massage are fully present and aware of anything that can arise during the session, including difficult emotions or new physical sensations. Everything that arises during the session will be accepted and taken care of. It is important in my approach that I do not try to achieve any strong reaction or cathartic experience during the massage but rather assist the client in growing body awareness and gradually increasing felt sense.

Intention: This massage focuses on a holistic approach to the body, mind, and spirit. Its goal is to increase body awareness and understand your sexual energy (vital life force), and to integrate these experiences into daily life. 

Touch techniques: The massage involves varied touch techniques, from gentle to more intense, with slow and long movements. This slowness of movement, along with enveloping touch, allows the mind to switch off and attention to descend into the body. 

Energy and breath: Working with the breath during the massage helps to relax the body and mind and distribute energy throughout the physical body.

Openness and intimacy: Traditionally, tantric massage is a full body massage, based on the approach that everything is sacred. Therefore, it requires openness and trust between the massage therapist and the person receiving the massage. The aim is always to respect boundaries and create a safe space for you. In my massage, the nudity of the person receiving the massage is optional and is the result of a preliminary conversation where we discuss boundaries and needs.

Conversation and framework setting: This is the time to listen to yourself and assess your needs and boundaries before each massage session. Somatic Experiencing tools will help with this. The boundaries set during the initial conversation are a non-negotiable framework for our massage – during the massage, we do not expand the boundaries, but we can narrow them if we encounter difficult emotions or if you discover previously unknown boundaries. You can communicate them at any time during the massage. As the person performing the massage, I guarantee to uphold and respect the boundaries so you can fully focus on your inner journey.
