You are invited to slow down, deepen connection, and explore the Art of Massage with two experienced bodyworkers.

This class is for lovers, partners, friends, and anyone you want to spend a healing afternoon with.

We will spend some time grounding in together with a guided breathwork practice. This is an essential part of massage as the breath helps us to let go of stuck tension in the body.

We will offer some partner practices to deepen connection and set the tone for our time together. Massage is a physical practice, that is strengthened with communication, intuition, and intention. This space is to help you drop in deep with your partner and ask for what you want

We will cover the full body throughout our time together and you will leave with several jumping off points to explore on your own, depending on what is most desired by you and your partner. We will be sure and switch partners frequently so no one falls asleep. This practice will be fully clothed though, you are encouraged to wear loose comfortable clothing that is easy to move in. You’ll be provided with oil and lotion to use when working directly on the skin.

You will be guided and supported by Olive and Flick, who have been teaching this class for over 2 years, and have offered over 50 couples this opportunity to become closer through therapeutic touch.

This class combines 21 years of hands-on experience from Zachary Flick an LMT in the Des moines area, and 9 years of energetic practices from Olive Oconnell who provides Ayurvedic bodywork, Multi-Style Yoga and Sound Therapy.

Areas of focus may include:

head - shoulders - tight hips - low back - feet - calves - legs

This class will be a practice of communication with and without words. You will learn to find your partners edge, the value of reciprocity, how to work without tiring out or using your thumbs, ways to engage within a basic setting of your home without any special tools or tables.
