Colin Richards & Intimacy Matters

I took part in a series of sensual massage workshops with Colin Richards of Intimacy Matters. Colin has a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of sensual massage as well as other psychosensual treatments. He is very professional but also operates in a relaxed manor putting everyone at ease making for enjoyable training sessions and easy learning.

The workshop sessions took place at Colin's Battersea treatment room, which was worth a visit for the views alone. The sessions were organised as 4 x 5 hours sessions over a 3 week period which worked well, allowing time to digest what had been learnt during each session and provided time to practice elsewhere before coming back for the next session. There was a combination of demonstration massage, 4-hand massages with Colin, 2-hand massage with Colin giving advice and guiding and finally 2-hand massage with Colin providing feedback.

I believe the training was invaluable and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of offering sensual massage either to their partner or professionally. There were other options available, both shorter and longer, as well as group sessions available which although would have reduced cost, for me I felt the 1 to 1 sessions worked best. I’d like to thank Colin and all the volunteers who so generously gave their time.

UPDATE 2021: It's now been over two years since visiting Intimacy Matters and I now offer both Individual Training and Group Workshops myself. However I would continue to recommend Colin as an alternative, especially if you are unable to make it to Sensual Bodyworks in the Midlands.
