2 hr
260 British pounds
Alma Vale Centre

Service Description

A bespoke experience for couples, relatives, or close friends. Relax and learn a new way to connect in a cosy, no-pressure environment that’s perfect for beginners - you'll be so relaxed you won't even notice you're learning, but you'll take home real massage skills! WHAT’S INVOLVED? First we’ll share some of the principles of touch, then you'll both receive the 15-minute massage you’ll be learning. Next, you take it in turns to learn by practising with each other while we demonstrate alongside. Finally, you relax side-by-side once more and enjoy the massage again from us while you let your new learning sink in. That's 3 massages each in two hours! You each leave with a PDF booklet and goodie bag - massage oil, chocolate, and other little treats to pamper yourselves. ​ WHAT WILL WE LEARN? A versatile sequence that includes a variety of techniques. You can perform it at home in 15 mins or less, or easily extend it to 30 mins or more. You can easily use it at home on chairs, the sofa, a bed, or even the floor - no need for special tables or gadgets. The focuses are carefully chosen - face, hands and feet are packed with nerve endings, and often carry habitual tension that gives a lovely feeling of full-body relaxation when it's eased. If you've never had a face, hand or foot massage, you might be amazed! These areas are easy to access at home with no massage table or risk of injury. We've designed these workshops to be an accessible, low-commitment introduction to the joys of massage. Plus, you'll build skills like communication and mindful attention, which will enrich other touch in your life - you'll find your shoulder rubs get a lot better too! WHO CAN BOOK? We welcome couples, friends, family - any pair who’re both over 18 and comfortable offering each other comforting touch. Please check our general policies re: illness. Also, infectious conditions affecting your hands or the workshop's focus area (e.g. athlete's foot) are a concern - get in touch with any questions. ​You need to be able to sit upright comfortably and have reasonable mobility in your hands, wrists and back. We don't recommend these workshops for the 2nd or 3rd trimesters of pregnancy, because of the positioning involved. ​ WILL WE UNDRESS? No. You only need to roll up sleeves, etc. to allow access to your hands/arms, feet/calves, or face/head. WHO WILL WE MASSAGE? Only each other. You'll both receive massage from us, and you'll work with each other as we demo alongside.

It's your responsibility to please let us know ASAP so we can reschedule. MORE THAN 48 HRS NOTICE: Rescheduling is free of charge. Cancellations incur a small admin fee (3% of the full service price). LESS THAN 48 HRS NOTICE: We can only reschedule free of charge if your slot gets filled up. Otherwise, rescheduling incurs a fee of 50% of the full service price. For no shows or cancellations, we will have to retain the full appointment fee to cover our costs and loss of income.
