What is a Yoni Massage?
A holistic practice for women's wellbeing
The word "yoni" comes from ancient Sanskrit, and it essentially means "sacred space" or "womb." Despite its spiritual roots, you don't necessarily have to think about it in those terms.
At its heart, it's a holistic massage practice that can help women work through emotional stress, heal, feel more at ease in their bodies, relax and discover new ways to enjoy greater pleasure.
More Than a Typical Massage
There is a lot more to yoni than a typical spa massage. Yoni is about respect, consent, and moving at your own individual pace. Yoni is more sensual and more intimate than Swedish massages, and there is a focus on erogenous zones and pelvic area, including the vulva and vagina.
While you will be guided, it's important to note that we will discuss your needs, preferences and boundaries before we begin, and it is you who is in control and calls the shots. Ultimately, yoni massage provides a safe space for women to explore their comfort zones, express emotions, and feel comfortable about saying what feels right or wrong for them.
How Yoni Massages Can Help
Yoni has been known to help women in many ways:
Other Advantages
Yoni massages can be hugely beneficial across many aspects of your physical and emotional health. Other potential advantages include improved self-confidence and feeling more comfortable in your own skin. Following yoni, many women transition from seeing their bodies as flawed to appreciating themselves just as they are. This can make a huge positive difference to their lives going forward.
Another key benefit with yoni is that it can help you let go of tension that you may not even be aware that you are carrying. The pelvic area is a part of our body where we store emotions including anxiety, stress and past trauma. The gentle massage and conscious touch associated with yoni can help alleviate stress and release negative emotional baggage.
What About Intimacy?
Many women also report better intimacy, alone and with partners. One aspect of yoni is that it increases blood flow and heightens awareness in the pelvic/second chakra area — potentially helping with everything from sensitivity and period cramps to boosting libido and enjoyment.
