What is body to body massage? A beginner’s guide
Table of Contents
Body to body massage is exactly what the name suggests – your therapist uses her entire body, not just her hands, to massage yours. Warm oil is applied to both bodies, and the therapist slides, presses and glides against you in slow, deliberate movements. It is one of the most physically immersive massage styles available, and it is one of the most requested services at Aisha Massage London. If you have been curious about trying body to body massage in London, this guide covers everything you need to know.
How Body to Body Massage Works
The session begins like most professional massages. You arrive, have a conversation with your therapist about your preferences and comfort level, then undress in a warm, private room. Warm massage oil is applied generously to your body and to the therapist’s skin.
What happens next is where body to body differs from everything else. Instead of relying solely on her hands, your therapist uses her arms, chest, torso and legs to create long, flowing movements across your entire body. She may lie on top of you and slide slowly from your shoulders to your feet, or press her body against yours from the side with steady, rhythmic pressure.
The sensation is unlike a hand-based massage. The broad surface area of skin-to-skin contact activates more nerve endings simultaneously, creating a warm, enveloping feeling that most clients describe as deeply relaxing and pleasurable.
Our Therapists for Body to Body Massage
Not every therapist approaches body to body the same way. Here are the ones we recommend most for this style:
Rose is an Eastern European masseuse with a model-type figure and a deep passion for body to body massage. Her clients consistently describe her b2b sessions as some of the best they have ever had. Rose combines physical confidence with genuine warmth, and her technique is smooth, unhurried and incredibly sensual. She is available for incall and outcall sessions.
Rose – Bayswater
Anais, based in Earl’s Court, has years of experience and is one of our most versatile therapists. Her body to body sessions have a flowing, intuitive quality – she reads her clients’ responses and adjusts pressure, speed and intensity in real time. Clients who have seen Anais regularly say she completely changed their view of what massage can be.
Anais – Earl’s Court
Evelyn, with four years of experience, is also based near Earl’s Court and is available for outcall across Central London. Her approach is confident and skilled, with a focus on building sensation gradually throughout the session.

Body to Body vs Hands-Only Massage
The key difference is contact area. In a traditional massage, only the therapist’s hands and forearms touch your body. In body to body, the entire front of the therapist’s body makes contact. This means:
- More nerve endings are stimulated at once, creating a fuller, more immersive sensation
- The warmth of another body against yours triggers oxytocin release – the hormone linked to bonding and stress reduction
- The flowing, whole-body movements feel more natural and rhythmic than isolated hand pressure
- The experience is more intimate, which makes it particularly effective for stress relief and emotional release

Frequently Asked Questions
Is body to body massage appropriate for first-timers?
Yes. Many of our first-time clients choose body to body because the broad, enveloping contact actually feels less confronting than you might expect. Your therapist will explain everything beforehand and move at a pace that suits your comfort level.
What oil is used for body to body massage?
Most of our therapists use sweet almond oil or a custom blend for body to body sessions. The oil needs to be long-lasting and provide a smooth glide for full-body contact. If you have allergies or preferences, let us know when booking.
Can I request a specific therapist for body to body?
Absolutely. We recommend booking in advance if you want a particular therapist, especially Rose or Anais who are in high demand. Browse our masseuses to see all available therapists and their specialities.
How is body to body different from nuru massage?
Both involve full-body contact, but nuru uses a special seaweed-based gel that creates an extremely slippery sensation, while body to body uses warm massage oil for a smoother, more tactile feel. Read our detailed comparison in nuru vs body to body massage for the full breakdown.
