​
What is Sensual Massage Therapy?
Sensual Massage Therapy is a nurturing, non-sexual practice designed to promote deep relaxation and body-awareness. Through gentle, attentive touch, it creates a safe and supportive environment where you can connect with your body and emotions. Free from the pressure of sexual expectations, this therapy allows you to explore physical sensations, rediscover comfort in your own body, and cultivate trust in your personal boundaries—fostering a deeper sense of emotional well-being and bodily acceptance.
Examples of common struggles around sensual, physical touch that need support:
Touch as a means to an end.
Often, sensual touch is viewed as a precursor to sex and intercourse, which can lead to feelings of pressure and discomfort. This perception can hinder genuine enjoyment and relaxation during intimate touch.
Feeling obligated to reciprocate.
Feeling compelled to reciprocate after receiving touch is very common and can create stress and detract from the enjoyment of the experience.
Shame around pleasure.
Shame often arises from societal norms, upbringing, religious beliefs, and cultural taboos that stigmatize it. Negative body image, past trauma, and lack of education can also contribute to guilt or embarrassment about experiencing pleasure.
Safety concerns and alertness.
If you feel the need to remain constantly alert for your safety, it can prevent you from fully relaxing and enjoying the session.
Physical insecurities.
Confronting personal insecurities about your body can be challenging. Sensual Massage Therapy can help address these issues by fostering body positivity and self-acceptance.
In session
We start by discussing your intentions and goals for the session. What do you desire to feel? What are your expectations? What are your boundaries? This dialogue ensures that we align our approach with your desired outcomes. During the session, your part is to relax and receive. Bas will guide you gradually, shifting from a mental state to a deeper sense of sensual enjoyment. You are encouraged to express yourself freely, both verbally and non-verbally, allowing the sensual energy move through you.

There is always space to reassess and adjust your wants, needs, and boundaries during the session. You also have the choice to keep your underwear on or remove it—your comfort is our priority as we aim to create the sensual experience you desire.
​
After the session, we’ll take time to reflect on your experience and revisit your initial intentions to ensure alignment. It’s important to note that no sexual acts of any kind will be performed during these sessions.
