Naturist Massage FAQ

Is nudity required during the massage?

No — nudity is never required. It is welcomed and normal here because it allows freer, uninterrupted touch and deeper relaxation. However, it is completely optional. If you prefer, we use draping or work with clothing. Your comfort always comes first.

“I was nervous about the nudity at first, but Antonio and the team made it feel so natural and safe. I started draped and eased in — no pressure at all. Left feeling freer than I expected.”

— First-time visitor

What actually happens in a session?

We begin with a relaxed, friendly conversation about how you’re feeling, any areas of tension, medical information and your boundaries. This is followed by unhurried full-body massage using flowing strokes and mindful touch. Tantric sessions may include breath awareness. You can enjoy the sauna before or after, then relax in the chill-out area. There is never any rush.

“We began with a quick chat, then the massage just flowed — long strokes, no interruptions. The sauna afterward was perfect. Felt completely reset.”

— Dave

Is this a sexual service or erotic massage?

No. All our sessions are strictly professional therapeutic massage focused on relaxation, stress relief, healing touch and wellbeing. There are no sexual acts, no genital stimulation for arousal and no erotic intent of any kind. Boundaries are discussed openly and respected throughout.

“Purely professional and therapeutic. No crossing lines — just deep relaxation and care. Exactly what I needed without any awkwardness.”

— Col

Do I need any experience or special preparation?

No previous experience is needed. Many people come for their very first session feeling nervous — this is completely normal. We guide you gently every step of the way. It helps to arrive relaxed, have a light meal beforehand and shower if you wish (showers are available on site). Simply bring an open mind.

“I'd been wanting to try for ages but was very nervous. Finally plucked up the courage… it was fantastic. No experience needed — they made it easy from the start.”

— T (first-timer)

What if I feel emotional or vulnerable during the session?

This is quite common and perfectly welcome. Naturist massage can gently release stored emotions or tension held in the body. If this happens, we hold a caring space — we can pause, breathe together, talk, or simply remain present. You are never judged and never alone in the moment.

“Something unlocked — a new energy and feeling. Felt seen and safe the whole time. The emotional shift lasted for days.”

— Dave

Can I book a session with my partner?

Yes, couples sessions are very popular. We offer discounted Couples Full Body and Couples Tantric massages with two therapists working side by side in a private room. We also provide personalised Couple’s Tuition with Antonio. All couple sessions respect your shared pace and comfort level.

“Hi Antonio, just wanted to say that I came last week for a four-handed tantric massage… it blew me away, pure heaven… Please thank the girls for the most amazing experience.”

— J (shared session)

How private and discreet is the spa?

Extremely. The Workshop is a small, purpose-built sanctuary on a quiet road with private entrance, individual treatment rooms and no shared waiting areas. Your details and experiences are treated with complete confidentiality.

“Spotlessly clean, excellent facilities, very professional staff. Felt completely private and at ease the whole time.”

— Col

What if I’m shy or anxious about being naked in front of someone new?

Most first-time visitors feel some shyness or anxiety — this is entirely normal. We meet you exactly where you are. Many people begin draped and naturally become more comfortable as trust develops. The atmosphere is calm, non-judgemental and focused only on your wellbeing.

“I finally did pluck up the courage… What can I say apart from it was fantastic… looking forward to my next visit.”
