Question 1

What is tantric bodywork?

Accepted Answer

Tantric bodywork is a slow, attentive form of bodywork that places as much emphasis on presence and breath as it does on touch. It is guided rather than routine: the practitioner works with your attention and your pace, within a scope that has been agreed in advance.

Question 2

How is it different from conventional massage?

Accepted Answer

Conventional massage is generally structured around technique and physical release. Tantric bodywork is structured around presence. The pace is slower, the session includes conversation and time to settle, and the emphasis is on how you are experiencing the work rather than on completing a sequence.

Question 3

Do I need previous experience?

Accepted Answer

No. Many people arrive with no previous experience of this kind of work. The Introduction exists for exactly this reason, and everything is explained beforehand so that nothing comes as a surprise.

Question 4

How does a session begin?

Accepted Answer

It begins with a conversation. Preferences, expectations and practical details are discussed first, so that both people are clear about the shape of the session before anything else takes place.

Question 5

How do I choose an experience?

Accepted Answer

Choose primarily by time. If you are new to the practice, the shorter format is a considered place to begin. If you would like the session to unfold without watching the clock, the longer formats allow for that. You are welcome to discuss the choice before deciding.

Question 6

Where are sessions held?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are held in a private, quiet setting in Diani. Exact location details are shared only once an appointment has been confirmed.

Question 7

Is my appointment confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Conversations, personal details and appointments are treated as private. Nothing is shared, published or discussed elsewhere.

Question 8

How do I arrange an appointment?

Accepted Answer

By starting a private conversation. Contact Inner Tide directly, ask whatever you would like to know, and the practical details are arranged personally from there.

Question 9

Is the service available only to adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Experiences are available to adults aged 18 and over.

Question 10

What happens after I contact Inner Tide?

Accepted Answer

You will receive a personal reply. Sending a message does not in itself confirm anything: availability is checked, the scope of the experience is discussed privately, and an appointment is confirmed only once both people are comfortable to proceed.
