Couples or Pairs Massage
Parallel Practice
Parallel Practice is our approach to massage for pairs: friends, partners, or family who want to decompress together, without compromising individual care. You’ll both receive treatment at the same time, in separate rooms, each tailored to your body’s needs.
These sessions draw from our Profound and Idle Ritual treatments. You can choose deep tissue work or a more restorative approach, depending on what your body needs. Sports and pregnancy massage are not currently available through this format.
It’s not a novelty or a side-by-side selfie moment. It’s a shared reset, designed to bring both people into a similar state of calm, without forcing pace or preference. You leave rested, realigned, and more attuned to how you move through the world - together or apart.
What’s involved
When you arrive for your couples massage at our East London studio, both therapists will greet you. You’ll each receive treatment in separate rooms, with the option of either deep tissue or holistic massage. If you haven’t chosen in advance, your therapist will help guide the decision based on what your body needs that day.
Is it for me?
Couples massage at our East London studio is designed to address the everyday tension that builds from poor sleep, long hours and modern living. Whether it’s a stiff neck, lower back compression or fatigue between the shoulders, this treatment helps release what’s stuck. It’s one of the most effective massage experiences for two in London. Tailored for function, not theatre.
How to prepare
Before your couples massage in London, stay well hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing, and leave jewellery at home. If you have long hair, bring a tie or clip to keep it out of the way during treatment.
Make sure both clients complete their health consultation forms before arrival to avoid delay. Time in the studio is best spent on your body, not paperwork.
Use the form to outline any current health concerns, medications or areas you'd prefer not to have worked on, such as the head or feet. The more we know, the better we can tailor your treatment.
How to recover
Massage for two in London is more than downtime…it’s recalibration. You might feel light, sleepy or slightly spaced out afterwards. That’s normal.
Stay well hydrated, avoid heavy machinery or intense activity for a few hours, and aim to get proper rest that night. Your body’s already doing the work, just give it the space to catch up.

We absolutely loved our couples massage at Bodied. The personal touches of choosing the oil and playlists made it feel very personal. We’ll be coming back!
