Practical, experiential training in sensual massage, intimacy and touch — guided by Colin Richards, one of the UK's most experienced educators.
Touch is one of the most powerful yet overlooked ways of deepening intimacy, building trust, and enhancing sexual confidence. Whether you are a man, woman, non-binary person, single, partnered, or part of a same-gender or mixed-gender relationship, learning sensual massage can transform the way you experience intimacy and connection.
Under the guidance of Colin Richards, one of the UK's most experienced sensual massage educators, you will learn practical techniques, advanced touch skills, and the art of creating anticipation, relaxation, arousal, and deeper connection.
Founded by Colin Richards — Sex & Intimacy Engineer, Somatic Sensual Masseur, psychosexual practitioner, educator and founder of Intimacy Matters — the School of Sensual Massage is built upon more than twenty years of full-time professional practice and experience working with over 10,000 clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, ages, relationship styles, sexual orientations, and life circumstances.
What makes Colin's teaching unique is not simply his technical knowledge of sensual massage, but the breadth of life experience that informs it.
His professional training includes Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy, Imago Relationship Education, NLP, Hypnotherapy, and Somatic Sexology.
The school's immersive courses combine practical touch skills with a deeper understanding of sexual psychology, human physiology, attraction, arousal, and intimacy.
Whether your goal is to enrich your personal relationships, explore intimacy with greater confidence, or develop a rewarding professional practice, sensual massage provides a safe and empowering pathway.
