COUPLES MASSAGE
TUTORIAL
Learn practical massage techniques you can safely use at home to ease tension, improve comfort, and feel more confident caring for your partner.
Bringing you closer together
This is practical, guided tutorial designed to help you support each other properly at home.
Sessions take place in my quiet, private studio, away from distractions and interruptions. It gives you the space to focus, ask questions, and practise without feeling rushed or self conscious.
You learn what actually helps and what often makes things worse. Where to place your hands. How much pressure to use. When to stop. And how to work safely around common problem areas like the neck, shoulders, lower back and hips.
I guide you step by step, adjusting technique to suit the people in front of me rather than a one size fits all approach. Every body moves, holds tension and responds to touch differently, and the work reflects that. Some couples want to focus on a specific issue. Others simply want to learn how to give each other something genuinely relaxing, without trying to fix anything at all. Both are equally valid, and the session adapts accordingly.
No scripts. No awkward choreography. Just clear instruction, feedback, and time to practise together.
These sessions suit partners, friends, carers and anyone who wants to feel more confident using touch to ease tension. You do not need prior experience. You do need curiosity, communication and a willingness to learn.
Below are three ways to work together, depending on how much structure and depth you want.
"I brought my partner a couples massage tutorial for his birthday - but, in the end, it was very much a present to our relationship and us both. Carolyn's studio is inviting, inspiring and sets a deep grounding for a joyful and sincere session. Right from the start, we were learning - not just the practicalities of DIY massage but about the opportunity it offers to communicate better with each other. We left with some new skills - but, also, a new way to interact with, better understand and have fun with each other. Massage is such a wonderful way of surfacing and sharing the tensions we might not have realised we're holding onto - something that Carolyn very naturally brought awareness to. The techniques she taught us were simple, effective and very much adapted to our different physicalities. Oh, and it was so much fun too! We laughed. A lot. Would heartily recommend to every couple we know. Single? Take a friend! You won't regret it."

Practical Everyday
Have you ever felt your thumbs give up halfway through a shoulder rub while your partner is still answering emails. Or wanted more physical touch without turning it into a whole production.
Practical Everyday is designed for exactly that. Real moments, real bodies, real life.
You learn how to support each other comfortably while sitting at the kitchen table or relaxing on the sofa after a long day.
The techniques I teach are tailored to what your partner’s body actually needs, whether that is tight shoulders, a stiff neck, jaw tension or general end of day fatigue. I show you where to work, what to avoid, and how to adjust pressure so it feels supportive rather
than tiring.
It is about making touch feel easy and natural again. Supportive rather than effortful. And woven into the day rather than added to the to do list.
You leave knowing how to help each other feel better, in a way that fits naturally into daily life.

Focused Routine
This option is for couples who want a simple lie down routine that targets a specific area that regularly causes problems.
You work on a bed or mat and focus on one main section of the body such as lower back and glutes, shoulders and neck, or another area that needs consistent attention. The routine is kept clear and manageable so it is easy to repeat at home without second guessing.
The techniques are tailored to your partner’s body and their specific tension patterns. I guide you on positioning, pressure and sequencing so the work feels supportive and safe rather than improvised.
This package suits you if you want more structure than Practical Everyday, but without committing to a full body routine. It gives you a reliable go to sequence for the area that matters most.
You leave knowing exactly how to help where it counts, with a routine you can return to confidently.

Signature Session
This option is for couples who want to learn a full body routine, or who want the session shaped entirely around what they need.
We are not limited to one area or one approach. The session can include full body work, focused upper body or lower body sequences, or a combination that reflects how tension shows up for your partner. I draw on the same skills I use in my clinical sessions and adapt them so they are safe and usable at home.
Techniques are tailored closely to your partner’s body, with time to refine hand placement, pressure and flow. I guide you in how to move between areas so the massage feels connected rather than disjointed, and how to adjust as needs change.
This package suits you if you want depth, flexibility and confidence, without being restricted to a set structure.
You leave with a personalised approach you can adapt over time, and the ability to support each other in a way that feels thoughtful and responsive.
