Read the three steps to understanding the experience

...and we will show you what awaits you here – from the first touch to the final cup of tea.

Welcome and Preparation

Tantric massage is not just a massage. It is a meeting. Intimate, conscious, sensitive. It is a ritual that is born between you and the one who gives it to you – in the present moment, in an atmosphere of trust, safety, and openness.

Every tantric massage has its framework, but it is never the same. It is based on the principles of tantric and Taoist philosophy, inspired by ancient rituals and a deep knowledge of working with the body, breath, and energy.

The masseuse or masseur guides you with sensitivity, respect, and presence. Whether you are coming for the first time or for the tenth, it is always new. Your body, your pace, your journey.


Welcome and Attunement

When you enter our space, peace, quiet, and privacy await you.
You will not meet other clients, only your masseuse or masseur, and possibly a friendly receptionist. In the massage room, tea, water, fruit, and a moment to calm down will be waiting for you + 30 minutes of extra space in addition to the length of your massage.
We give you this time as part of our care – you can use it for conversation, sharing, tantric breathing, and for quiet time after the ritual. We believe that real care begins and ends beyond the minutes. This time is just for you. You can ask questions, share your wishes or concerns, say what brings you here, what pleases you, or where you feel tension.
The masseuse or masseur will explain how the massage works, teach you the basics of tantric breathing, and help you fine-tune the details – for example, if you desire a longer foot massage, relaxation of the cervical spine, or special attention to a specific part of the body.
If you have a topic you want to work on, tell us about it.

What can you share?


  • How you feel today – both physically and emotionally.
  • If you have any health restrictions, painful areas, or feel tired or tense.
  • If you enjoy a specific type of music, scent, pressure, or touch.
  • If you wish to work on a particular theme (e.g., intimacy, trust, arousal, boundaries).
  • Everything you say helps create a safe space for a deeper experience.

Shower, Bath, and Preparation

Before the massage itself, a warm shower or bath awaits you.
You will receive a towel and a ritual cloth called a sarong, which will become your gentle garment and cover for the duration of the massage.

In the shower, you can wash away everything that is no longer needed. Meanwhile, the massage room will be filled with peace, oriental music will play, and the space will be scented with essential oils and incense sticks. As soon as you are ready, you will ring a bell – and the massage will begin.

Ritual and Awakening of the Body

Ritual Introduction

At the beginning of the massage, a short standing ritual awaits you. A gentle pause, awareness of the breath, a quiet "yes" to oneself and to the other.

There is no need to do anything. Just be. The masseuse or masseur will attune you with touch, gaze, and presence. Already here, you can feel your body relaxing and your senses awakening.
The sarong you are wrapped in is later removed with respect and fluidity. Everything happens naturally, in trust, and without haste.

Touches that Awaken the Body

The massage takes place on a soft futon. Warm towels, fragrant essences, warming oils, soft feathers, and gentle furs… The touches alternate – from butterfly-light, barely perceptible, to deep and relaxing. The entire body is massaged – from head to the tips of the toes. Every inch receives attention. Longer rituals may also include a hot lava stone massage – for warming, relaxation, and stimulating energy in the first chakra.

Intimacy and Conscious Surrender

Intimacy as a Part of the Whole

Tantric massage is holistic – it therefore also includes the intimate areas, known in Tantra as yoni and lingam.
This is not an erotic service, but a conscious, healing touch that can lead you to a new perception of intimacy, arousal, and deep acceptance. Prostate massage or rosette massage can be a part of it – but always only if you wish.
The touch is not purposeful – it is present, breathing, perceptive. It helps to release tension, awaken inner energy, and let it flow through the whole body.

Conscious Breath and Energy Flow

Through tantric breathing, you can better perceive your body, open your energy centers, and achieve a deeper connection with yourself. The masseur or masseuse guides you with your breathing, helping you to stimulate, relax, or soften the energy – depending on what is needed at the moment.

Nudity and Trust

Nudity is part of the ritual – it is not the goal, but a natural state of being. Your body is covered with a sarong throughout, which is removed gently and with respect. The giver is also initially covered, and only if the atmosphere of the ritual naturally brings it about, may they partially or completely remove the sarong. However, deep respect, sensitivity, and safe guidance are always maintained.

Afterglow and Farewell

Afterglow and Return

After the massage, you remain lying down, in peace, cared for. The masseuse or masseur caresses you, holds your hand, or is simply present – depending on what you need. Body and mind can remain in silence for a while.
When you feel ready, you can slowly move to the shower, where the warm water will help you ground the experience and return to yourself.

Farewell and Sharing

At the end, there is still time for sharing – if you wish. You can say what you experienced, what surprised you, what pleased you. You can ask, thank, be silent. Everything is okay. The tantric massage ends, but its effect often remains – in the body, in the soul, in the heart.
