“Welcome” she says “I’m Nadia”.
As I walk into the intimate, softly lit room she invites me to have a seat.
I’m about to experience my first Tantric Massage and I have no idea what I’m getting myself into. This is pretty far out of my comfort zone. No one has touched me sensually (except my partner) for over 20 years!
I’m not really sure what to expect and I have so many questions running through my mind. “How is she going to touch me? Do I get totally naked or wear my undies? Will I feel nervous on the table? Will I like this? What am I going to learn about myself? Will this feel good? Will I have an orgasm?”
Despite all my questions, I know I’m ready to take my sexuality to the next level and I have a strong feeling that with Nadia and experiencing this Tantra Massage, it is going to help awaken a part of me that has been dormant for too long.

Tantra in a Nutshell
Before we can dive into the in’s and out’s of Tantric Massage it’s important to have at least a little bit of an understanding of it’s roots.
Tantric Massage is basically a modern spin-off from a part of a very ancient and hyper complex set of guidelines and practices for living called, Tantra.
Tantra has many different practices and schools of thought depending on the thread of Tantra that you follow. So, the art of Tantra really varies and can be confusing to trace. It can range from the spiritual and sublime all the way to sordid and sleazy. It’s a lot of different things to different people!
One common misconception about Tantra is that’s all about sex. In fact, only a small percentage of Tantra deals with sex and pleasure.
Here’s our take on Tantra…
We follow the school of thought that Tantra is a rich philosophy and practical path to liberation of the body, mind, spirit that connects us to our inner divine self. We love the aspect of Tantra that views sex, intimacy and pleasure as an essential part of life and as a gateway to awakening and fulfillment. We focus on ‘Being’ in the moment using all senses. We reflect this philosophy in our Tantric Massages.

Where Can You Find Professional Tantric Massage Services?
Unfortunately, there are some dodgy practitioners out there offering a quick rub and tug massage under the title ‘Tantric massage’ however, there are also other professionals, like us available in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
When looking for a genuine Tantric masseuse, you need to be on the lookout for a few things.
Experience
Ask your masseuse how much experience he/she has with Tantra. You want to know if it’s going to be a slow journey, a sensual awakening of the whole body. No judgement from us on what type of massage you choose but be sure to ask up front if it is an authentic Tantric massage, so you know what you are getting into.
Qualifications
If you are looking for a spiritually backed sensual awakening massage, ask your masseuse who he/she has been trained and to tell you a bit about the Tantra massage.
Rapport

Common Questions People have before their first Tantric Massage:

Ah …this is not only magickal art but you will be guided on a journey using your breath, movement and through visualisation experience more pleasure.
Do I get totally naked or wear my undies?
This is your preference.
Am I suppose to get hard or have an orgasm?
There is no pressure with Tantra. Hard on or no hard on and likewise orgasm or not. This is sensual touch with 0% expectations. You might feel blissful, or alive and charged, or tingles all over, or you might have an all over body orgasm. Remembering Tantra is a practice so more practice … the better for this.
