Outdoor Massage

If total relaxation is what you seek then taking your sensual massage al fresco could be for you. Modern life can be fast-paced and stressful with many demands on our time. It's good for us all to take time out for our self-care and wellbeing. Massage is one way to help relieve stress naturally.

This is particularly important for those of us who experience chronic stress or anxiety. Massage can reduce cortisol, the major stress hormone, by a third. It can also boost feel-good hormones such as dopamine and serotonin and leave you feeling happier.

How is an Outdoor Massage different?

Being outdoors and surrounded by nature has also been shown to have similar effects on our stress levels and wellbeing as receiving massage, so combing to the two by taking your massage outdoors compounds the benefits.

Massage outside often feels especially with the combination of natural elements, engaging multiple senses and enhancing the overall experience. The following are element that can help make an outdoor massage feel good:

• Connection with Nature: Being outdoors allows you to feel more connected to the environment, which can be deeply relaxing. The sound of birds, rustling leaves, or water can create a calming ambiance.

• Fresh Air: Breathing fresh air helps increase oxygen levels in the body, which can improve circulation and help your muscles relax more effectively.

• Natural Light: Sunlight boosts serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and promotes feelings of well-being.

• Gentle Breezes: The sensation of wind on the skin can enhance the sensory experience, creating a soothing contrast to the pressure of the massage.

• Grounding: Being on natural surfaces like grass, sand, or earth can promote a feeling of grounding, which is believed to have calming effects on the nervous system.

• Scenery and Open Space: The visual beauty of nature can help the mind relax, shifting focus away from stress and tension, further amplifying the physical relief provided by the massage.

This combination of physical and mental relaxation contributes to the heightened sense of well-being during outdoor massages.

Outdoor Sensual Massage at Sensual Bodyworks

I offer Relax, Explore & Adventure massages outdoors June, July and August subject to the weather. Light rain is not a problem as I use a covered gazebo but I can't use if the wind is too strong.

You still get the same hot oil and full body massage you've come to expect from Sensual Bodyworks, but with the added warmth of summer sun, a cooling breeze and the sounds of nature - all weather permitting of course!

The garden is very private and not overlooked and I use a covered gazebo for additional privacy and comfort, closed on three sides and either open or with netting to the front. You can listen to the sounds of nature, or if you prefer, I can recommend my Dream State playlist for additional southing sounds.

You can book as normal and let me know beforehand if you would prefer to be outdoors. Prices are the same and should you change your mind on the day or the weather takes a turn for the worse we can revert to using my indoor treatment room.
