Couples Intimate Connection Through Massage Workshop
Deepen emotional closeness, strengthen communication, and transform the way you give and receive touch.
Ultimately, the Power of Touch Workshops are designed to help couples reconnect, communicate more openly, and build a deeper sense of emotional and physical intimacy. The Intimate Connection Workshop focuses specifically on the subtle art of present-moment awareness, attuned touch, and the kind of safe emotional vulnerability that allows partners to feel truly seen and held.
This workshop is perfect whether you’re rebuilding closeness, wanting to reignite connection, or simply looking to grow together in a meaningful, grounded way.
The Art of Intimate, Attuned, and Emotionally Connected Touch

A Personal Note From Joe Regarding Our Nurturing, Intimate and Sensual Workshops
Why teach intimate connection through touch? Because so many couples today feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply too busy to slow down together. What we hear over and over again is that couples want closeness but don’t always know how to create it. They want touch that feels meaningful, not transactional. They want to feel supported, desired, and understood.
That’s what this workshop is for.
This isn’t about sexual performance or erotic technique.
It isn’t about fixing anything or achieving anything.
It’s about cultivating presence. It’s about reconnecting with yourself and your partner. It’s about remembering that intimacy begins with safety, attunement, compassion, and curiosity. And from that foundation, deeper closeness naturally grows.
Touch, especially slow, mindful, attuned touch, is one of the most powerful ways to co-regulate, build trust, and strengthen connection. When practiced intentionally, touch becomes a shared language that communicates:
- “I’m here.”
- “I see you.”
- “You matter to me.”
Our goal is to help you experience that level of connection and bring it home with you as a lasting, supportive part of your relationship.

This was a brilliant class to take!! Super professional and educational!! Even though there were many couples in the room, he was able to personalize each couples needs. He taught maneuvers that were very successful and easy to do. He definitely knows what he is doing!!

This workshop is fantastic – I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about massage and/or who wants to share the gift of massage with a friend, family member, or loved one. The instruction Joe gave throughout the evening was thorough, easy-to-follow, and fun. The best part was his customized approach of teaching to his audience’s interests (instead of rattling off any kind of memorized lesson plan). I appreciated his attention and response to our requests, and his hands-on demonstration was a treat to watch (and receive!). His passion and knowledge is evident from the moment you meet him – he is truly a guru in his field.

My partner and I get regular massages and wanted to learn how to give each other massages in between the pro sessions. “Touch” is high on both of our love language profiles so we figured the workshop would be a perfect way to enhance our connection. Joe’s workshop provided us with a fun, engaging and highly effective forum to practice multiple techniques in an intimate classroom “lab” environment. His welcoming, warm demeanor, experienced facilitation and great insights on giving and receiving feedback from your partner all combined to create a truly unique and worthwhile learning experience. Post-workshop, we were provided with a thorough list of resources, including videos to help us remember and reinforce specific massage techniques. We feel well-supported and encouraged to keep practicing the power of touch together.

Joe not only gives excellent massages, he is the perfect person to run a couples workshop. He makes the evening so fun. My husband was hesitant to go to the workshop. He thought there would be a lot of uncomfortable moments, which there were none. In fact we came away very impressed with how Joe made everyone feel comfortable and how we all learned how to give a decent massage without becoming fatigued. My husband now is willing and able to give me a massage…not as good as Joe’s but at least my hubby’s is free.

An amazingly powerful experience for us as a couple that has been together for 46 years. This 3 hour session with Joe taught us a new way to nurture and please each other in an enlightening way. He put us at ease right away and the studio was very comfortable. This workshop is a must for couples who are dedicated to continuing to build their relationship in a passionate, nurturing, healthy way.
