Maria Aarts

MARIA (she/her) - In 2000 I received my first tantra massage. That experience was so earth-shattering that I had no choice but to further explore the path of tantra. In 2009 I retrained as a certified massage therapist and since 2014 I also offer tantra massages. Professionalism is very important for me and that is why I continue to invest in training and personal development, something that never stops. Like Mark and Anna, I am affiliated at TantraWijzer and subscribe their Ethical code of conduct. This year I am once again a member of the emo team and I will give two massage workshops.

1. KASHMIR TANTRA MASSAGE - A tantra massage is based on simplicity and conscious breathing, which can put you in a flow. A kind of sensual dance, Tandava. The name Kashmir tantra massage refers to the starting position in which one partner sits on the lap of the other. During the workshop you will experience what the effect is of your breath, pressure, choice of music and the tempo of massaging. You decide yourself if you want to be naked or wear your underwear during the workshop. Bring your own bottle of massage oil. Make sure you come to the workshop freshly washed. Keywords: touch, come with someone.

2. CHAKRA UPLOAD MASSAGE - Chakras are known as the energy points in our body, important for our well-being. The Tantra chakra massage is based on a slow, extremely soft touch to rase the energy and bring chakras into balance. In my practice this touch is known as ‘Shiver-massage’ because that is wat often happens. You can also use this way of touch as foreplay with a loved one. For the optimal effect, the order of touch, speed and intensity are important. Make sure you come to the workshop freshly washed. We work in pairs without oil on the naked body. Keywords: touch, nudity, come with someone.
