A recent study by Northumbria University
found that when couples exchanged massages — even with no prior experience — it boosted both their physical and emotional wellbeing. Touch, when shared with intention, can be transformative.
​
That’s the foundation of our couples massage tutorials. You don’t need to be a therapist to make a real difference with your hands. These sessions are about helping two people feel more connected, present, and confident with one another — not just physically, but emotionally too.
​
Our 1-to-1 tutorials last 1.5 hours and are fun, lighthearted, and completely tailored to you. We use plain, non-medical language and focus on what works for your bodies, not textbook routines. This isn’t about achieving a qualification — it’s about giving you simple, effective skills you can use at home.
​
In a typical session, you’ll:
-
Explore safe pressure and body awareness
-
Practice practical techniques for shoulders, back, neck and head
-
Learn how to read feedback from touch
-
Build confidence in both giving and receiving
-
And yes — laugh, relax, and enjoy the process
​
People often tell us that these tutorials give them more than just massage skills. They discover new ways of communicating, listening, and showing care.
One client shared:
“We left with new skills — but also a new way to interact. Massage is such a wonderful way of surfacing tensions we didn’t even know we were holding.”
​
Whether you’ve been together for years, are just starting out, or even want to share this gift of touch with a friend, our couples massage tutorial is for anyone who wants their care to grow — together.
What others say
"My partner and I went to a couple's massage workshop and totally LOVED it. Carolyn is a fantastic massage therapist with the most wonderful warm energy, and the fun, safe space she created for us to learn some massage techniques, build our confidence, and connect with one another was just magic. We're so happy to have found the absolute gem that is Khoo Massage Therapies!"

"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."
