Choosing Between Tantric, Nuru and Body-to-Body Massage

The most frequently asked question from our clients at Elite Tantric London is the following one:

"Should I schedule Tantric Massage or Nuru Massage appointment?"

Another popular question is related to body-to-body technique and whether it can be applied when booking each of the massages.

The truth is, however, that all the massages provided by us include body-to-body technique since it is the hallmark of Elite Tantric London.

Regardless of whether you opt for Tantric Massage or Nuru Massage, you will definitely get an opportunity to enjoy flowing body-to-body massage technique, but the differences will be in the massage style and products used during the massage session.

What Is the Difference between Tantric and Nuru Massage?

Even though both massages have something in common, our trademark body-to-body technique they provide totally different sensations.

Tantric massage relies on massage oils and slow movements, which contribute to a relaxing atmosphere and allow you to unwind and be aware of yourself during the massage session.

Nuru massage requires a special seaweed Nuru gel. The smooth texture allows the masseur's body to move easily around yours creating a very unique sensation of fluidity and immersion specific only to nuru massage.

Many customers characterise Tantric massage as warm and slow one, whereas Nuru is rather light and fluid. Neither is better—they simply offer different experiences depending on your personal preference.

Where Are Tantric and Nuru Massage Sessions Held?

At Elite Tantric London, we offer sessions across some of London's most convenient locations, with therapists available throughout Central London and West London.

All experiences take place in private, discreet apartments designed to provide a comfortable and relaxing environment away from the busy city streets. Each location is carefully selected to ensure privacy, convenience, and a premium experience from the moment you arrive.

Our goal is to create a discreet, luxurious environment where you can enjoy your experience with complete comfort and peace of mind.

Bed, Massage Table or Nuru Mat?

Another difference is how the session may be performed.

Most Tantric Massages take place on a comfortable massage bed using warm massage oils.

Many of our dedicated Nuru specialists perform sessions on a professional Nuru mat or massage table, allowing the seaweed gel to flow freely and creating the signature gliding movements that make Nuru so distinctive.

Ultimately, it comes down to what type of experience you're looking for.

What Will Take Place In Your First Massage Session?

If you have never had any massage sessions, then you might be wondering what takes place during the first session.

On arrival, your masseuse will greet you and lead you to take a shower lasting anywhere between five to ten minutes.

This is followed by leading you into the massage table/bed/Nuru mat room based on the type of experience you have chosen.

Your therapist will begin the massage with you lying comfortably face down before guiding you to turn over later in the session. Throughout the experience, the focus is on creating a calm, luxurious environment where you can completely switch off from the outside world and enjoy uninterrupted relaxation.

It's About Your Experience

Clients will always get different experiences from the same massage because every session caters for individual clients' needs.

While some clients come to just relax and enjoy the benefits of the massage, others opt for the personalised tantric sessions, depending on what makes them feel comfortable.

Our therapists take pride in ensuring that our clinic provides a friendly, professional, and discreet environment where every session takes shape according to your experience of choice.

Whatever you opt for, Tantric Massage or Nuru Massage, you will get the same quality, the same luxurious environment, and the same body to body techniques that have made Elite Tantric London the best massage agency in London.
