A tantra massage is a special experience that requires trust, openness and a protected setting. That is why we would like to give you a complete insight into the process beforehand — so you can fully immerse yourself in the moment.
Whether you are experiencing a tantra massage for the first time or already have experience: at Tantra Shiva, your personal well-being comes first. Every step is designed to give you a sense of security and comfort.
Take your time to read through the following process. Should any questions remain, you will find answers in our frequently asked questions — or contact us directly.

Time to absorb the experience, shower and slowly return — without rush.
The first step to your tantra massage begins with a simple contact. Call us or send us a text message — we are personally available for you and take time for your concerns.
When booking your appointment, you can already select your preferred masseuse. Our team consists of experienced, empathetic masseuses who attend individually to your needs. If you are unsure, we are happy to advise you.
Let us know your preferred massage type and desired duration — so we can optimally prepare for your visit. All information is treated confidentially.
As soon as you enter our studio, you leave everyday life behind. You are warmly and discreetly received — in an atmosphere characterised by warmth and mindfulness.
Before the massage, a warm shower is available to you. Take this time consciously to arrive and initiate the transition into relaxation. Fresh towels and well-maintained bathrooms are of course provided.
Your massage room is already lovingly prepared: pleasant temperature, soft lighting and a calm, inviting atmosphere. Learn more about our ambience.
The personal consultation is an essential part of every tantra massage at Tantra Shiva. In a calm, trusting setting, you discuss everything important for your well-being with your masseuse.
Here you have the opportunity to express your wishes, name personal boundaries and ask questions. Whether it concerns specific body areas that deserve special attention or areas that should be avoided — everything is respected.
Especially during your first visit, this conversation is particularly valuable. It builds trust and gives you the confidence to fully surrender to the massage. There are no wrong questions — openness is expressly encouraged.
Now begins the heart of your visit: the actual tantra massage. Your masseuse works with high-quality, natural body oils that nourish your skin and make the touch particularly sensual.
We exclusively use selected natural oils — including coconut oil, sesame oil, almond oil, apricot kernel oil and sunflower oil. These oils are skin-friendly, pleasantly scented and gently warmed to body temperature.
The massage covers the entire body and follows a mindful, flowing rhythm. Every touch is consciously placed, respectful and attuned to your individual sensations. It is not about technique alone, but about presence, attention and immersion in the moment.
Depending on the chosen massage type, the process varies — but the fundamental approach always remains the same: mindful, respectful and entirely focused on you.
After the massage, an equally important phase begins: the aftercare. Your body and mind need time to process and absorb what you have experienced. At Tantra Shiva, we give you this space — without rush, without pressure.
Take the time you need. Stay lying down for a moment, enjoy the silence and let the impressions settle. A warm shower is then available to you.
Many of our guests describe the aftercare as a particularly valuable part of the experience. It is the moment when the effects of the massage unfold most deeply — a conscious transition back to everyday life.
A tantra massage is not an appointment that can be squeezed into a busy calendar. In addition to the massage duration itself, please allow approximately one hour for arrival, shower, consultation and aftercare.
If your massage lasts 60 minutes, for example, you should plan for approximately two hours in total. For a 90-minute massage, we recommend about two and a half hours. This way you can enjoy the entire process at ease, without watching the clock.
Find out about available massage durations and prices in advance to find the right option for you.
Hygiene and cleanliness are our top priorities at Tantra Shiva. We want you to feel safe and comfortable from the very first moment — which is why we exceed the usual standards.
After every treatment, all surfaces, massage tables and materials used are thoroughly disinfected. Fresh sheets, towels and linens are laid out for every guest. Our masseuses carefully wash their hands before every massage.
The massage rooms are ventilated and freshly prepared between appointments. This ensures that every visit takes place under optimal hygienic conditions.
You now know the process and what to expect. Contact us for a personal appointment — we look forward to welcoming you.
