How it started
The four-handed massage started here in the late 1990s, and it came out of something else. We were running tuition sessions at the time, where a client would learn some basic bodywork. The way those ran was that a female therapist and I would take it in turns on the table, demonstrating the moves to the client. Once the teaching part was done, we would both work on the client to round it off.
People kept asking whether they could skip the lesson and just have the bit at the end, with both of us working at once. So we started offering it on its own, and it's been part of what we do ever since.
What happens in the room
Two of us, one client. You lie naked on the table and we stand on either side, working at the same time. Sometimes we mirror each other. Sometimes one of us is on your shoulders while the other is on your legs. Before we begin there's a brief conversation about what you're after and any areas to focus on, and we coordinate from there.
What people tend to notice is that they stop being able to follow which hand is where. With one therapist there's a sequence the mind can track, back and then arms and then legs. With two of us at once that tracking tends to fall away.
Choosing your two therapists
You can book it with two female therapists, or with one female and one male (me, Antonio). Which combination is available on a given day depends on who's working, so it's worth a look at the rota or a quick call before you book.
If you have a preference on a particular therapist, mention it when you ring and we'll see what's possible.
Full body or tantric
The four-handed full body massage is what was initially on offer when we first started these sessions. But since we incorporated tantric massage into our list of treatments, the four-handed tantric massage is also available. It follows the same path as the tantric massage, meaning it can get very intense. Strong emotions might surface in some, but the therapists will be very aware and adjust the treatment to suit.
It's the one people tend to come back for. The note further down from a recent client puts it better than I could.

From a recent client
"Hi Antonio, just wanted to say that I came last week for a four handed tantric massage with Jessica and Roxanne. This was the first time trying this; I usually only have one masseuse. And I must say it blew me away, pure heaven. I didn't want it to stop. I had an hour, and it just flew past. Think I need to indulge myself for two hours next time. Please thank the girls for the most amazing experience."
