There's something special about sharing a massage experience with your partner. While massage is often solitary—a time to disconnect from the world and focus inward—couples massage creates an opportunity to relax together, share an experience of healing and care, and reconnect in a peaceful, stress-free environment.

​

At Sunshine Therapy Spa in Casselberry, our couples massage service is one of our most popular offerings. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, planning a date night that's actually relaxing, or simply want to share something positive with your partner, couples massage provides a memorable experience that benefits both body and relationship.

​

What is Couples Massage?

Couples massage means you and your partner receive massage simultaneously in the same room, each with your own massage therapist and table. You're not massaging each other—you're both receiving professional therapeutic massage at the same time, side by side.

​

This shared experience allows you to enjoy massage individually while still being together. You can chat occasionally if you want, or you can each sink into your own experience while maintaining the connection of shared space. There's no right or wrong way to experience couples massage—it's about what feels good to both of you.

​

Most couples massage sessions are 60 minutes, though longer sessions can be arranged if you want more extensive work. At $80 per person for an hour, couples massage provides an affordable way to prioritize your relationship and wellbeing without breaking the budget.

​

Who Books Couples Massage?

While the name suggests romantic partners, couples massage works for various relationships:

Romantic Partners: This is the most common pairing, whether you're married for decades, newly dating, or anywhere in between. Couples massage makes a wonderful anniversary gift, Valentine's Day experience, or birthday celebration. It's also perfect for destination weddings or special occasions in the Orlando area.

Close Friends: Best friends, sisters, or longtime companions often enjoy couples massage together. Sharing this experience can deepen friendship and provide quality time in a uniquely peaceful setting.

Parent and Adult Child: Mothers and daughters or fathers and sons sometimes book couples massage as a way to spend meaningful time together. It's particularly popular around Mother's Day or as a special birthday treat.

Bridal Parties: Brides sometimes bring their maid of honor or bridesmaids for couples massage before the wedding as part of pre-wedding relaxation and celebration.

The commonality is simply wanting to share a positive, relaxing experience with someone you care about. The relationship doesn't matter—what matters is creating shared space for healing and renewal.

​

The Benefits of Couples Massage

Beyond the individual benefits that massage provides—stress relief, pain reduction, improved circulation, and enhanced wellbeing—couples massage offers additional advantages:

Shared Experience: In busy modern life, quality time together often means sitting in front of screens or running errands. Couples massage creates shared space where you're both fully present, relaxed, and experiencing something positive together.

Relationship Investment: Taking time to prioritize relaxation and self-care together signals that your relationship matters. You're choosing to invest in wellbeing as a unit, not just as individuals.

Reduces Scheduling Conflicts: If both partners want regular massage but coordinating separate appointments is complicated, couples massage simplifies scheduling. You only need to find one time that works for both of you.

Introduction to Massage: If one partner loves massage but the other has never tried it or feels uncertain, experiencing it together can make that first session less intimidating. Having your partner there provides comfort and familiarity.

Removes Guilt: Some people feel guilty taking time for themselves, especially if it means leaving their partner to handle responsibilities. Couples massage eliminates this guilt—you're both taking the time, so neither is "abandoning" the other.

Creates Positive Associations: Sharing pleasant experiences together strengthens relationships. Couples massage creates positive memories and associations that can improve overall relationship satisfaction.

Encourages Openness: After a relaxing couples massage, partners often find they're more open, communicative, and connected. The deep relaxation achieved during massage can soften defenses and create emotional availability.

What to Expect During Couples Massage

When you arrive at Sunshine Therapy Spa for your couples massage, you'll be greeted and shown to a room set up with two massage tables. The room is prepared to feel peaceful and romantic—soft lighting, calming music, and a comfortable temperature.

​

You'll each have your own massage therapist. This is important because it means each person can receive work appropriate to their individual needs. If one partner needs deep pressure and the other prefers gentle touch, no problem—each therapist adjusts to their client's preferences.

​

Before your massage begins, each therapist will briefly check in with their client about any problem areas, pressure preferences, or areas to avoid. Even if you're a couple, your bodies are different, with different histories, tension patterns, and needs.

​

You'll each undress to your comfort level (most people undress completely, though underwear is fine if you prefer) and get situated on your table under a sheet. Your therapist will step out while you prepare, maintaining your privacy and dignity.

Throughout the massage, you're each properly draped with only the area being worked on exposed. This maintains modesty and warmth while allowing effective bodywork.

​

The massage itself unfolds similarly to an individual session. Each therapist works through your body systematically, addressing areas of tension, promoting relaxation, and adjusting their approach based on your feedback and your body's responses.

​

Some couples prefer to experience their massage in comfortable silence, each sinking into their own internal experience. Others enjoy occasional quiet conversation—commenting on how relaxed they feel, checking in with each other, or simply maintaining verbal connection. Both approaches work perfectly. There's no expectation that you'll be silent, but there's also no pressure to chat if you'd rather be quiet.

​

The therapists work independently but often naturally synchronize their movements, creating a harmonious flow in the room. This subtle coordination adds to the special atmosphere of couples massage.

​

#Special Occasions and Celebrations

Couples massage makes a perfect gift or celebration for:

Anniversaries: Instead of another dinner out, celebrate your anniversary with an experience that leaves you both feeling restored and connected. Couples massage is memorable without being stressful or expensive.

Valentine's Day: Skip the crowded restaurants and overpriced roses. Couples massage provides a meaningful way to show you care about your partner's wellbeing and want to spend quality time together.

Birthdays: Give your partner (or yourself as a couple) the gift of relaxation and shared time. It's more thoughtful than material gifts and creates lasting positive memories.

Babymoon: Before your baby arrives and life becomes more complicated, treat yourselves to couples massage as part of your babymoon. (Note: pregnancy massage techniques are used for the expectant mother.)

Staycation: If you're taking a staycation in the Casselberry or Orlando area, couples massage provides a spa-like experience without expensive resort prices.

Just Because: Sometimes the best reason for couples massage is simply that you want to do something nice together. You don't need a special occasion to prioritize your relationship and wellbeing.

Date Night Alternative: Tired of the same dinner-and-movie routine? Couples massage offers a date night experience that's actually relaxing and restorative rather than just entertaining.

Reconnection: If life has been particularly stressful or you've felt disconnected from each other, couples massage can help you both slow down, release tension, and reconnect without pressure or expectations.

Pre-Wedding: Many couples book massage together in the days before their wedding to reduce stress, feel their best, and have a moment of calm before the big day.

​

After Your Couples Massage

Following your session, you'll both have a few minutes to reorient, get dressed, and slowly transition back to the regular world. Many couples describe feeling more relaxed, connected, and present with each other after shared massage.

​

This is a perfect time to extend the experience—perhaps going for a quiet meal together, taking a walk, or simply heading home to continue relaxing. The deep calm achieved during massage is worth preserving rather than immediately rushing back into stress and obligations.

​

Some couples notice they communicate more easily and openly after massage. The relaxation of both your nervous systems creates space for connection that might be difficult when you're both stressed and tense. This is one of the subtle relationship benefits of couples massage.

​

You might both feel somewhat sleepy or "spacey" after your massage—this is your nervous system in rest-and-digest mode, which is exactly where it should be. Give yourselves permission to move slowly and enjoy this state rather than forcing yourselves immediately back to productivity.

​

Drink plenty of water after your couples massage. Massage releases metabolic waste from tissues, and staying hydrated helps your body flush these products. Make it a shared ritual—stopping for water or herbal tea together extends the nurturing quality of the experience.

​

The Casselberry Advantage

Sunshine Therapy Spa's location in Casselberry makes couples massage accessible and convenient for residents throughout Central Florida. Whether you're local to Casselberry or coming from Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Maitland, or the greater Orlando area, we're easy to reach with ample parking.

As an Asian massage spa rooted in traditional Chinese healing wisdom, we bring cultural understanding of massage as a holistic practice for wellbeing, not just a luxury service. This perspective influences how we approach couples massage—seeing it not just as indulgence but as genuine health maintenance and relationship care.

​

Our pricing at $80 per person for 60-minute couples massage makes this experience accessible for regular practice rather than being reserved for rare special occasions. Quality massage shouldn't be prohibitively expensive—it should be part of how you take care of yourselves and your relationship.

 

Booking Your Couples Massage

Ready to experience couples massage at Sunshine Therapy Spa? Booking is simple—just call to schedule your appointment. We'll find a time when two therapists and a couples room are available that works with your schedule.

If you're hoping for same-day couples massage, give us a call. While couples sessions require coordinating two therapists and a specific room, we often have "massage available now" options even for couples. We understand that sometimes spontaneous decisions lead to the best experiences.

When booking, let us know:
- What date and time you're hoping for
- Whether you want the same massage style or different modalities
- Any special occasions we should know about (we love helping celebrate)
- Any health concerns or specific needs either of you have

We'll take care of the details so you can simply show up and relax together.

 

Gift Certificates

Couples massage makes an excellent gift for the couples in your life. We offer gift certificates that allow the recipients to book their couples massage at their convenience. This is perfect for:

- Wedding gifts (much more useful than another serving platter)
- Anniversary gifts for parents or friends
- Valentine's Day for another couple
- Holiday gifts for couples who seem to have everything

A couples massage gift certificate says "I want you both to feel good and spend quality time together"—a message that resonates far more than most material gifts.

​

Our Casselberry location welcomes couples from throughout Central Florida. With professional therapists, authentic Asian massage techniques, comfortable facilities, and affordable pricing, we provide couples massage experiences that are genuinely therapeutic and memorably relaxing.

Call Sunshine Therapy Spa today to book your couples massage. Give yourselves the gift of shared relaxation and the experience of being cared for together. Your relationship—and your bodies—will thank you.

Let us help you create space in your busy lives for what really matters: feeling good, being present, and connecting with the people you love. We look forward to welcoming you both.
