Although Tantric Massages are known to be a erotic, sexual experiences, they are also renowned for their vast portfolio of healing benefits. The philosophy of Tantra aims to re-acquaint people with their bodies, teach them how to receive pleasure and most importantly, relax both physically and mentally. Unlike traditional massages, the Tantric does involve massages in intimate areas; however, they are also far more sensual and spiritual.

As well as its individual healing powers, the Tantric Massage can also be experienced by couples who are searching for a more intimate and sensual sex life.

One of the central principles of a Tantric Massage is the healing power of the Chakras. These concepts, which are said to be the seven centres of life, promote an enhanced state of awareness, wholeness and wellbeing.
