We all know the traditional Valentine’s Day gift is flowers and chocolates. Don't get me wrong, it’s a great gift considering a rose is the classic symbol of love, and I mean, who doesn't enjoy a sweet treat? But what if you could go above and beyond for your Valentine? What if you could give them the rose, the chocolates, AND an unforgettable experience? With our Valentine’s Day Couple’s Massage Packages, you can take this traditional gift and turn the knob to 11. 


Why Is A Couple’s Massage A Great Gift?


In this blog post, we will explore five reasons why a Couple's Massage is an ideal Valentine's Day gift. We will look at the benefits it brings to both the relationship and individual well-being. From enhancing communication to releasing the 'love hormone' oxytocin, a Couple's Massage is more than just a gift; it's an experience that can strengthen the bond between you and your partner.


1. Discover A New Shared Interest


Whether you are just starting out in a relationship or have been married for 65 years, you know how hard it can be to find things to do together. An important part of any healthy relationship is having shared interests.

Your significant other may have never experienced a professional massage before. There is also the chance that they have never wanted one. This could be for a lot of reasons, like being uncomfortable with physical contact from other people. If you or your partner are anxious about trying massage for the first time, a Couple's Massage might be just what you need to put your mind at ease. Being in the room together may make you both feel more comfortable.


Discovering new things to do together as a couple is a great strategy for maintaining a fresh approach to your relationship as the years pass. Maybe you will discover that a Couple’s Massage is something you both genuinely enjoy. It may even become something you do monthly to enhance your bond and strengthen your relationship!



2. It’s Good For Your Physical Health

Massage is not only a feel-good way to indulge or pamper yourself; it's also a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being. Massage is a great option, whether you have a specific health condition or are looking for a stress reliever. Did you know some of the physical benefits of massage include:


  • Improved Circulation

  • Decreased Muscle Stiffness

Among the numerous benefits of couples massages is the way it strengthens the bond between partners.

The “happy hormone” levels are increased during a Couple's Massage.

When you and your partner enjoy a Couple’s Massage together, it helps you open up to each other, experience more intimacy, and strengthen your bond. Levels of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, which are often called the 'happy hormones,' are increased during a Couple's Massage. This special blend promotes relaxation, feelings of happiness, and bonding.  


Research has also shown that massage can reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. When you and your loved one release feel-good hormones and then have cortisol levels drop at the same time, it is like a magic carpet ride that brings you closer together. Your intimate relationship and romantic connection grow stronger and last even after your massage is over. 



5. Self-Care and Relationship-Care


Prioritizing your relationship's well-being alongside your own physical and mental health can feel really overwhelming. Delivering the level of care needed for our physical, mental, and relational health can feel taxing as well as time consuming. There are moments when it seems impossible to satisfy this demand. This is where Massage Therapy really saves the day.

Getting a Couple’s Massage doesn’t feel like a chore or a dreadful task. Even if you are completely exhausted from a long day, you and your partner can look forward to getting a massage.
