About Jools - Sensual Bodyworks

My name is Jools. It’s my real name.

I’m a male practitioner in my fifties, and I came to massage later in life after a long career in the corporate world.

That earlier career gave me a strong grounding in professionalism, responsibility, and clear communication, all of which now underpin how I work.

Sensual bodywork wasn’t something I set out to do initially. What began as curiosity developed into a genuine interest, and then into something much deeper. I saw first-hand the impact that touch, when done properly, can have, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well.

That is what led to the creation of Sensual Bodyworks.

How I Came to This Work

After leaving corporate life, I had more time to explore areas I hadn’t previously considered.

That included working with a number of tantra practitioners, where I first came across tantric massage, and from there, sensual bodywork.

I’ve written more about that experience in an article on my experience with tantra.

A Professional and Structured Approach

Everything I offer is grounded in structure, clarity, and consent.

Sessions are not improvised or ambiguous. They are carefully held experiences where you know what to expect, what is optional, and what your boundaries are at all times.

For many clients, particularly women and couples, this clarity is what allows them to relax fully.

My role is not just to deliver touch, but to create an environment where you feel safe, respected, and able to let go of tension without uncertainty or pressure.

Training and Experience

I trained with Colin Richards of Intimacy Matters in sensual massage for women in 2018.

I have trained and have Diplomas in Swedish full body massage and Hot Stone Massage and have an interest in a number of other massage modalities.

I have also explored related areas through personal development and learning, including work around kink, power dynamics, and trauma awareness with Seani Love.

I am a member of the Guild of Holistic Therapists and Foyht The Association for Professional Therapists & Practitioners.

Why Sensual Bodywork

Sensual massage is often misunderstood.

At its core, it is about presence, awareness, and connection through touch. It is not about performance, pressure, or expectation.

Many clients arrive carrying stress, tension, or uncertainty, sometimes from life, sometimes from past experiences where touch has felt rushed, unclear, or goal-driven.

A structured, attentive approach allows something different:

Space to relax without expectation
Time to feel and respond naturally
A clearer connection between mind and body

For some, that is simply relaxation. For others, it becomes something more meaningful.

A Little More About Me

Outside of my work, I stay active and engaged with life.

I go to the gym regularly and enjoy maintaining a good level of fitness. In the summer, I spend time wakeboarding, which requires focus and presence.

Motorcycling has long been a passion of mine, offering a similar sense of awareness and freedom.

I also enjoy dancing salsa, which has deepened my understanding of rhythm, connection, and non-verbal communication. Like massage, it’s about listening, responding, and staying attuned.

All of these experiences influence how I work, particularly in terms of movement, flow, and presence.

The Environment

I work from a private and discreet rural location on the Leicestershire / Warwickshire border.

Secure, private parking away from the road
Quiet setting with no interruptions
Dedicated ground floor treatment room
Adjoining shower room for changing and freshening up

The aim is simple, to create a calm, comfortable space where you can fully relax.

I also offer visits to your home or hotel across the UK.

If You’re New to This

It’s completely normal to feel unsure, curious, or even slightly nervous, many clients are.

Part of my role is to ensure everything is clear, respectful, and handled professionally from the outset. You are always in control of your boundaries, and nothing is expected of you.

If you’d like to understand what to expect, you can explore the available sessions.

If you still have questions, you’re very welcome to get in touch before booking, or you can read the frequently asked questions.
