Relaxing Together – The Real Gift of A Couples Spa Day
Relaxing Together – The Real Gift of A Couples Spa Day
When was the last time you really relaxed with your spouse or significant other? If you aren’t sure, it might be time to book a Couples Spa Day at Massage & Wellness. A couples spa day at our location in Largo, Florida is a great opportunity to relax, improve your wellness, and your relationship. And yes, spa days can benefit everyone!
What to Expect at a Couples Spa Day at Massage & Wellness
We offer a variety of spa day packages for couples, and you can also add on extra upgrades from aromatherapy to steam towels. When you contact us to schedule your couples spa day, talk to us about what you want. Does one of you have a physical-labor career? Maybe you both deal with shoulder or neck pain. We can customize your spa day to your needs. We look forward to making this a calm and relaxing experience for you both.
Couples Massage are one of our specialties. These are specifically scheduled by phone so that we can give you the best experience. We will ask you what your goals are while booking. We’ll ask if you’re looking to:
- Relax?
- Deal with sore muscles?
- Improve skin health or complexion?
- Suffering from the results of poor posture habits?
Our form asks if you have a gender preference for your therapist – you each get to express your own preference and we always honor preferences. While many people prefer a therapist of the same gender, this is far from universal.
When you arrive, your therapists will guide you through the treatments you ordered and help you get the most out of them. Both guests will receive treatment in the same room, at the same time. Your therapist team are chosen who work well together and are experienced at working with couples.
The Effect of Massage Therapy, Together
Massage therapy promotes wellness and relaxation, but couples massage therapy can have some very specific and powerful benefits. One of them has to do with the hormonal effects of a massage. Massage therapy increases oxytocin. This is part of how massage therapy can help you connect with others in general. Synchronized massage with your partner results in an increase in oxytocin associated with the other person’s presence. This is one of the ways that a couples spa day can deepen your bond with each other and reduce relationship tension.
Reducing muscle tension also helps you reduce irritability. Modern life and workloads can produce chronic tension. If you recognize you are snapping at each other because you’re stressed, a couples session is an excellent choice. It can really help you get in sync and work together to deal with your stress.
Couples massage therapy can also:
- Improve relationship satisfaction
- Improve non-verbal communication
- Encourage you to simply BE together
- Improve sleep quality, which also improves relationship quality
- Encourage trust
The glow that follows a couples spa day is something we hear about from our regular clients. Your focus will be on each other, not whatever pressures of life. It can help you remember why you love each other and communicate in a calm environment, strengthening your connection and even helping you work on your problems and develop healthier habits.
Skin Care For Her AND Him
Good skin care is too often seen as a feminine thing. In fact, everyone benefits from taking care of their skin. Our Two-Hour Couples Massage and Facial session is the perfect choice. We’ll talk with you about what your skin needs – you don’t necessarily have to get the same treatment and often we recommend different facials depending on things like oil levels and personal preferences.
Yes, gentlemen, you benefit from a facial too. Testosterone does make your skin a little different. However everyone, especially in the Florida sunshine can benefit from good skincare habits. We might use different products. We also pay special attention to the beard area. If you have a beard, we treat the surrounding skin. If you tend to be clean shaven, we have treatments that can reduce irritation from shaving and ingrown hairs.
We strongly recommend including a facial in your couple’s spa day, especially if you have something neat coming up, like your anniversary or a trip. You will both look better, including to each other, and be ready for whatever fancy events you might have planned.
We offer a variety of facials, including microdermabrasion (good for breakouts) and enzyme facials. When you book, we will talk to you about your skin type and skin issues so we can help you pick the right one.
Connecting Through Shared Experience
The true value of a couples spa day is the shared experience. While you can get some of that through a date at your favorite restaurant, a couples spa day has more health benefits and lasts longer.
It’s also a great way to prepare for other shared experiences. Getting a facial a few days before going to a really fancy restaurant elevates the entire experience. And getting a massage before your planned vacation helps you enter into the trip relaxed and less likely to blow up when your flight is delayed, the weather isn’t what you hoped for, or the rental agency ran out of cars and is trying to give you the one iffy compact they have left.
And it’s a shared experience that brings you in sync not just mentally, but even biologically. The release of hormones can increase intimacy and improve your bond.
Above all, a couples spa day at Massage & Wellness is a chance to relax together. For a while you can leave behind the things that may strain your relationship. Work, children, in-laws are all important parts of your life together. They’re also forces that can create distance. So make time for the two of you. A Couples Spa Day can strengthen your bond as well as improve physical and mental wellness.
Call us at 727-458-2861 to talk about your couples spa day so we can customize it to your needs. We can schedule the perfect sequence of treatments to bring you together, help you relax, and improve your health.
