Can a couple’s spa day improve intimacy?
Spa treatments like massages release oxytocin, the “love hormone” that promotes feelings of closeness and intimacy. Couples benefit from releasing oxytocin by sharing a massage or other treatments, which helps reduce stress and increase feelings of happiness. Some couple spa sessions begin with a warm soak in the jacuzzi or a steam bath in order to relax muscles and prepare the body for massage therapy. After this, you and your partner will receive spa treatments simultaneously, with two different therapists working on you.
