Couple massage and self care

Valentines Day is right around the corner lets talk about couples massage and why it's a most this year! When you think of couples massage what comes to mind? Bonding? Relaxation?  A couples massage is a great way for you and your partner to take a time out from your busy schedules and practice self care together while spending time together.  Self care is so important in a relationship because as we all know if you aren't function at your best you can't really give anything back into a relationship.  Massage helps reduce stress and lets your body take a time out and recharge your body.  Doing this together with your partner can help bond you together in a healthy way.  Another benefit with doing a couples massage is usually spas do added bonuses or packages with the purchase of 2 massages.  I don't know about you but I love getting deals on massage services.  At the spa I work for we add on complimentary hot stone and essential oil to every couples massage, so don't forget to ask if they offer any specials. Now that we know it's a great self care benefit what do you do when you get there right ? Well a couples massage is the same as any other massage except you are in the same room together.  If you want to talk to each other I always say it personal preference but please keep it light and no arguing please (trust me it has happened not fun for the therapists or the couple).  The great benefit is you can bond without talking.  If you aren't feeling the Valentines Day love and aren't with anyone special know you can always do a mother/daughter massage cause it doesn't have to be with a significant other.  Either way look into the great self care benefits and discount benefits a couple massage can offer this Valentines Day!
