Grief

Grief is one of the universal human experiences, the sorrowful feeling of loss, longing and loss of belonging. Grief is a deeply felt set of emotions, a full body experience that can be fully overwhelming in acute stages while also lasting a lifetime as a chronic companion. We all feel grief, and we all need tools to tend to grief and learn to grieve while also coming back to the pleasure, joy and connection of being alive.

Here are some curated Pleasure Mechanics resources for you to support you, no matter what you are grieving. Permission to feel it all.

MicroMassage is a Pleasure Mechanics Pleasure Practice that invites you to bring focus, intention and care to very short moments of touch. Dive into this episode and discover how to unlock the magic of touch in everyday moments.

We both were trained as professional massage therapists in our early 20’s in the San Francisco Bay Area. We both fell in love with massage as a way to create relaxation and pleasure and to release chronic tension. Voracious students, we both began practicing as much as possible – including on our friends and lovers.

This is where we discovered that not only can massage be a powerful therapeutic tool, it is an amazing skill to bring to a love relationship and can create more sexual pleasure and intimacy. But few people have time or inclination to go to massage school – so we started teaching weekend workshops to sold-out crowds and rave reviews. Knowing we wanted to share this experience with as many people as possible, we decided to create online courses sharing the secrets of massage pros to everyone – so that everyone could integrate massage into their relationships, sex life and self-care.
