Private Couples Massage Workshop: A Whole Day Just for the Two of You

Picture a quiet spa that is entirely yours, warm oil infused with plant extracts, and your partner’s hands learning exactly where to touch. At the couples massage workshop at Spa Kessem BaMaga (15 HaPalmach St., Or Yehuda, near Tel Aviv), you learn to massage each other with one-on-one guidance from Baruch Serusi, and you leave with a new kind of touch that keeps going long after you get home.

Duration: about 5.5 to 6.5 hours · Price: given after a short conversation

The Whole Spa, Only Yours

During the workshop there are no other guests: a large jacuzzi, a fish spa, a lounge and coffee corner, a shower and restroom, and the treatment room. Herbal tea, dried fruit and light refreshments are waiting for you. In our couples treatments each partner has their own room, but in the workshop you are together in the same room, because you are learning to massage each other.

You arrive through a green courtyard with fruit trees and ornamental ponds, where all you hear is birdsong and running water. It is hard to believe you are in the middle of the country.

Why learn at a spa and not at home? At home you have to prepare, tidy up and clean, and usually there is no massage table, good oil or real quiet. Here everything is ready for you, and the time belongs to the two of you alone.

How the Day Unfolds

Opening conversation · We get to know each other, fill in a health and confidentiality form, and agree on expectations: how much exposure and what kind of touch feels right for each of you. Celebrating? You can start with a toast of the spa’s own home-made arak.
Fish spa and jacuzzi · A natural fish pedicure, then a jetted jacuzzi just for you. After a cup of herbal tea you reach the treatment room relaxed and open to giving and receiving.
Hands-on learning, about 3 to 3.5 hours · Each of you receives a roughly 90-minute four-hands massage: Baruch’s hands together with your partner’s. Then you switch, and whoever received now gives, so you both feel what a great massage is like and learn how to give one. The massage is done on a treatment table; if there is a big height difference between you, we sometimes move to a shiatsu mat so everyone is comfortable.
Couples body scrub to finish · Baruch demonstrates, then you carry on by yourselves, on each other. On cold days, when being wet is less pleasant, it is replaced with a salt body peeling.
Closing conversation · Ask anything still on your mind, and leave with a clear picture of how to keep practicing at home.

Baruch wears the spa uniform throughout the workshop, and you set your own boundaries. The comfort of both of you comes before every step.

What You Will Learn

Touch is one of the oldest ways we communicate. It expresses love, support and closeness, and it can melt away tension and stress. In the workshop you learn step by step: first an explanation and preparation for touch, then a demonstration, and then your own hands on your partner’s body, with Baruch beside you encouraging, guiding and correcting in real time. Your partner is the model, so everything you learn is tailored to the exact body you will be massaging at home.

Your own oil · At the start we blend a massage oil together with plant extracts and aromatic oils, matched to what you are looking for: relaxation and pampering, or working on tight spots. You can take the same oil home in a bottle.
Touch and flow · Stroking, pressing, kneading and releasing, in a full-body massage sequence: from the feet upward and from the head downward, on the back and on the front. You cover the whole body: head and scalp, shoulders and neck, arms and legs, back and buttocks, belly and chest.
Touch that soothes, and touch that relieves · Both a general massage for relaxation and pampering, and focused touch that eases pain and tension in the back, shoulders and neck.
Talking through your hands · Listening to your partner’s body, giving and receiving feedback in the moment, and refining your touch. You learn to feel where the body is tight, tense, knotted or sore, and where it simply enjoys.
Giving without getting tired · Good posture, using your body weight instead of arm strength, and proper movement mechanics, so that massage at home feels good for the giver too.
Natural moments, and when not to massage · We talk simply and without embarrassment about natural reactions that touch can stir, and about situations where it is better to leave treatment to professional hands.

What It Gives Your Relationship

Couples who come to us quickly discover how much they did not know about themselves and each other: who loves to receive and is less keen to give, who is the opposite, and which touch really feels good. Learning to massage together is learning to listen without words. You leave with your own couples toolkit, to ease pain after a long day or to pamper with love, and with a shared experience that brings you closer.

No previous experience is needed. You both experience both sides, giving and receiving, because that is how real learning happens.

Want to Go Deeper?

A workshop in several sessions · Many couples come back, because each time you take in more. The workshop can become a series of private sessions, with more precise touch and more confidence each time. For example: in the first session each of you receives a professional massage while your partner watches, so you know what to aim for. In the second you practice focused massage with guidance, up to about two hours each. In the third you switch with close guidance and final polishing, up to about three hours.
Gentle tantra, only if it suits you · A gentle introduction, according to the wishes of both of you and arranged in advance.
Coming as a small group? · The workshop can be held for a few couples who know each other and come together. Brides-to-be and small groups of friends have a separate workshop of their own.

After the Workshop: Keep Practicing at Home

Learning takes practice. Split your practice time equally, so you both experience giving as well as receiving. Start from the sequence you learned, use the oil you blended, and give feedback as you go. Many couples return for another workshop: like watching a film a second time, you catch more each time, and massage at home becomes natural.

Who It Is For

Looking for a couples massage class that is both an experience and real learning? For couples of any age, for a special occasion, as a romantic gift, or simply to strengthen your bond. Open to all couples, secular, religious and traditional, of any orientation, in complete privacy. Planning a surprise? It matters that you both know what is waiting for you, so Baruch is happy to talk with your partner in advance too.

The workshop is led by Baruch Serusi, an experienced therapist who has been running private workshops for couples for more than 30 years and is certified in a range of touch techniques. He is with you throughout, demonstrating, guiding and answering every question. Baruch’s certificates
