About the Practice
What is Reciprocal Massage?
In most massages, the roles are set and care flows only one way — from the "giver" to the "receiver." But what if massage could be mutual, where the roles of giving and receiving were shared, and both people left feeling restored?
Enter Reciprocal Massage! A hybrid of massage and contact improv that creates a “flow” — allowing both you and your partner to move and massage together through deep listening and play.
Why contact improv?
Contact improv is an improvisational partner dance form that uses weight sharing to create a conversation between two bodies. Using this as a foundation, Reciprocal Massage transforms massage from a prescriptive act of labor to a powerfully transformative tool for communication, connection, healing, and expansion!
