What’s this experience all about?
This Couples Massage Workshop in Seattle offers a hands-on chance for partners to learn massage techniques from professional therapists in a friendly, intimate setting. With a focus on both relaxing and deep work, it’s designed to help you connect through touch while picking up new skills you can use long after the class ends. The session runs for about three hours, with up to two participants per group at a cost of $300 — a price that covers personalized instruction and practice.
What really makes this experience stand out is the emphasis on tailoring the massage to your partner’s preferences, whether they prefer a soothing, light touch or something more intense. The instructor guarantees you’ll enjoy the workshop, or you get a full refund, making it a low-risk way to try something new and bonding.

An in-depth look at what you can expect
Meeting and setting your preferences
The workshop begins with a friendly meet-and-greet at 4464 Fremont Ave N, Suite 101, where you’ll fill out a preferences form. Expect questions about your comfort levels, pressure preferences, and areas you’d like to focus on. This initial step ensures the experience is tailored to your needs, setting a comfortable, communicative tone for the session.
Learning massage techniques from professionals
The core of the workshop involves the instructor demonstrating several massage flows and techniques. These are designed to be easy to learn and replicate. Reviewers have highlighted how the instructor, Joe, or other therapists, are patient and clear, encouraging questions and guiding you through the motions. You’ll see demonstrations, then practice on your partner, working through different styles from relaxing strokes to deeper work.
Taking turns: give and receive
Throughout the session, each person will receive a full massage and then switch to give one. This back-and-forth allows both partners to experience the techniques firsthand. Many reviewers appreciated how they learned to adjust pressure and find their rhythm, with the instructor offering individual feedback. The fact that you only work with your partner and instructor keeps the atmosphere intimate and focused.

Practical skills you can take home
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have learned a complete massage sequence to use anytime. Some have called it a “date night upgrade,” since it’s not only about relaxation but also about building trust and understanding through touch. Reviewers note that “the techniques are straightforward and easy to remember,” making it easy to practice on your own later.
Considerations from past attendees
While most reviews are positive, a few mention that the workshop can be quite intense if you’re unfamiliar with massage or overly nervous about touch. The instructor’s approach is very accommodating, but if you’re shy or uncomfortable, it might take some time to relax fully. Also, since the class is limited to 12 travelers, it remains personal but may fill up quickly, so booking well in advance is recommended, especially for weekends.
