Book Your Bodywork Experience NowWhy I Use The Word Tantric
I use the word Tantric because it’s the word people search for. Its roots are in classical Indian, Sanskrit tradition, which I haven’t studied in depth. My understanding is that Tantra is all-embracing: it sees the divine in every part of being human, including sexuality, and including the messy parts that aren’t so sought after.
Many paths set sexuality aside or shame it. Tantra makes room for it, for all of it. And because of that, it is seen for what it is, something truly holy, mystical, miraculous, and healing.
Tantric massage with me draws on multiple disciplines and training. Distilled down, the bodywork I do comes in three main styles:
- Sensual Massage
- Yoni Massage
- Somatic De-Armouring
They can be offered separately or combined, chosen together based on what you need.
What Is Sensual Massage?
Sensual massage is an experience designed to awaken the senses. People often feel their body come alive with a feeling of energy, tingles, vibration, and improved sensation.
I use many styles of pressure and touch, from deep, earthy, grounding touch to light, feathery, suspenseful touch, and sometimes fiery touch, using suspense, texture and contrast. It can become highly pleasurable, highly energetic, ecstatic, even orgasmic, though it may not.
You can be clothed as much as you want to, or undressed and draped, as you prefer. It doesn’t have to include Yoni massage, but it can. It is always your choice.
“His touch moved with the music, creating a deliciously playful, pleasurable and sensual experience... I could explore my own pleasure for hours without judgment or self-consciousness.”
“One of the most luxuriously, sensual, transformative, and electrifying experiences I have ever had.”
What Is Yoni Massage?
Yoni is the Sanskrit word for the female sexual anatomy, often referred to as the sacred space or the source of life. Yoni massage is a slow, respectful and very sacred experience. It is purposeful and intentional: it brings consciousness into a part of the body that is often disconnected through shame or trauma, and works with the tissue there.
Touch is always led by your wants, needs and boundaries, and by what we agree together beforehand. It can include pleasure mapping, and de-armouring of the Yoni too.
If you know yourself, feel confident in your sexuality, and Yoni massage is what you’re after, you’re welcome to book straight in. If there’s any uncertainty at all, whether nerves, a history of trauma or simply questions, please start with a free connection call, where we can talk through the process in as much detail as you need.
There are consent forms and readiness questionnaires that help. Either way, nothing is assumed on the day. Before we begin, we plan your whole session together, including your boundaries, so there are no surprises and everything is completely consensual.
What Is Somatic De-Armouring?
Somatic de-armouring is a bodywork approach that works with the held tension and stored emotion described below. I apply steady, sustained pressure into the fascia while inviting you to breathe slowly, fully and deeply. With that pressure, patience and permission, discomfort begins to release and energy and emotion start to move; this can look like sound, movement, trembling, vibration or waves through the body, and each one is something unfinished completing.
I use Taoist energy anatomy as a blueprint, and I have also learned to read the body’s signals, so each session has a framework but is followed intuitively, guided by what your body is ready for. De-armouring doesn’t have to include sensual or sexual work; what is included depends on the person, their history and what they are ready for, and it is always held with professionalism and ethics.
People often describe feeling more connected to their emotions, intuition and creativity, as the body comes back into the picture. Healing, as I see it, means bringing consciousness back into the body and allowing stored energy blocks to release, by facilitating energy to be stimulated and moved. You are welcome to book a Connection Call to explore what that could look like for you.
“Ben provides a sacred container that allowed me to purge deep wounds and trauma from my body in a way few can hold space for... I feel more whole.”
“The biggest thing I remember was letting the grief go from my heart... in letting that go, I then felt the awareness that my current partner is the first partner I’ve ever had who I’ve let see all of me.”
What Is Trauma?
Trauma is what happens when an experience is too overwhelming for us to fully express at the time. When it hasn’t been safe or possible to let anger, grief or fear move all the way through, that energy doesn’t complete; it stays in the body, held in the tissues, the fascia and the energy meridians, where it can block the natural flow of life force energy.
Over a lifetime this builds into patterns and beliefs, and often into numbness, disconnection and living from the head instead of the body and the heart. Numbing the heavy end of feeling also dims joy, pleasure and aliveness, because we can’t switch off one end of the spectrum and keep the other.
The deepest wounds tend to gather around relationships, love, sex and intimacy. They shape how we see ourselves, what we believe we’re worthy of, how we speak up, hold boundaries and take up space; and they are why so many of us wear masks, carrying fear of the past repeating itself, shame about who we are and guilt about our true desires.
Is It Sexual?
The first reason people come is that many of those searching for Yoni massage in Manchester are looking for a highly pleasurable, sensual and nourishing experience, because this is one of our basic human needs. For this, I provide very skilled and exquisite sensual touch that allows the body to surrender and experience what’s possible. It can be tender and beautiful.
The second reason people come is that they feel something is blocking their pleasure and inhibiting their relationship to their body. They want to be in their pleasure and sensuality, but there are blocks, behaviours and patterns in the way. For this, I provide somatic de-armouring, which works directly on those blocks. That opens the body up to more capacity and capability for surrendering to a fully sensual, delicious experience.
All of this can be deeply healing and exquisitely pleasurable without the touch of the Yoni. Yoni massage is an optional part of the work, and for many people it’s something they have never experienced before.
Does Orgasm Happen?
It may, and it is never the goal. More often the result is an orgasmic state: a body alive with pleasure, energy and sensation. That is different from the peak, clitoral orgasm most people picture when they hear the word. Sometimes a more familiar orgasm happens too, and there are other kinds of orgasmic experience as well.
Is It Intimate Between Us?
No. It isn’t a sexual experience between me and the client. It is boundaried and facilitated. The client goes on their own inner journey, supported by my hands. Many clients tell me it feels immensely sensual without being overtly sexual.
The session is about you being in the energy of receiving, so I do not allow intimate touching of my body.
“Although the massage is sensual I kept laughing at how unsexual it felt and thats because it was nothing to do with me & Ben - it was everything to do with me.”
Mystical Experiences, Body Awakenings and Kundalini
When a lot of clearing has happened in the body, the wounding and the blocks that separate the heart from sex and sexuality, and when conditions are right, some people experience non-ordinary states of consciousness. People have described visions, astral travel, and meeting beings and people on the astral plane to heal deep wounds. Some describe these experiences as parallel to plant medicine journeys they have been on. This isn’t a guarantee, but it shows what is possible.
Some people who have worked with me for a while go on to have an awakened Kundalini: a supportive, deep body awakening to Kundalini energy, or Shakti, which can deepen their spiritual development.
Who Is This For?
This page is mainly for women. I work with women because of the healing that can happen through polarity. Many women carry hurt, shutdown or emotional harm from experiences with men, and receiving safe, boundaried, respectful touch from a man can shift something in that dynamic.
I’m also open to somatic de-armouring sessions for men, regardless of sexuality. I’m not able to offer sensual massage to men. I have worked with people of all genders, including trans women and non-binary people.
How We Decide Together
If you'd like, this starts with a phone call and a readiness questionnaire, so that what we build feels intentional for you; if you already know what you want, you can book straight in. On the day itself, nothing is assumed; there is always ongoing informed consent, your boundaries are honoured throughout, and you’re supported toward empowerment while taking responsibility for your own journey.

I am open to travelling to different locations in the UK and worldwide.
Depending on location and distance, I will have to factor some extra costs into the session price.
In their words
“Finally feeling safe in my body again after years of feeling deeply disconnected.”
“…feeling incredibly safe and able to be so exposed and vulnerable, but not actually feeling either of those things.”
“During the session there was a moment where I could feel myself letting go of a profound sadness and feeling of loss, and it was replaced with pure love. And it was a self love, and feeling of worthiness.”
