WHAT IS COUPLES MASSAGE INSTRUCTION: Learn how to massage your partner in a safe environment with the expert guidance of one of our massage therapists. Each person has a turn on the table while their partner is instructed in techniques to address areas of tension. You will also be given pointers on how to implement regular massage at home. And  the whole thing will be videotaped and sent to you so you can easily follow along at home.  
​"​Our instructor was very patient and was able to provide some pointers and workarounds to help make things easier for the amateurs we are. She also recorded the lessons (to be digitally delivered later) (& after asking for our consent to be recorded), so that we could go back and watch them later to refresh our memories! She seemed to not only want us to enjoy the experience as we were having it, but also wanted to make sure that we could continue to grow these new techniques and our massaging of each other into the future as well, which was super great! We are hoping to come back for another lesson, selecting different body areas, or perhaps sometime down the road improving our burgeoning skills further with additional advanced techniques"
