About Us

Anya Drapkin is a long-time professional massage therapist and instructor committed to people’s health. She is really passionate about bringing massage skills to you in a whole new way so you can manage your stress and feel more ease in your life and relationships—no matter what! With over 30 years of massage experience between them, Anya and fellow bodyworker extraordinaire and instructor, Maggie Richardson, are partnering to bring massage to regular folks. Maggie teaches the hands-on technical pieces of the workshop, while Anya teaches the communication skills. For years, Maggie and Anya taught massage to students on their way to becoming professional massage therapists and holistic practitioners at the Trinity College of Massage in San Jose. They fell in love with teaching together and received some really great feedback from students about the effectiveness of their teamwork. They recently decided that there should be more massage instruction offered for regular people who just wanted to massage their significant others, friends and family so they teamed up again.

Here's a 5-Star Review from One of Our Participants:

“Evening for Two” —Couples Massage Class

My partner and I attended “An Evening for Two” and had a wonderful time! Our experience was far different from our expectation. We were prepared for 2 hours on technical instruction with a group of strangers. What we experienced was 2 hours of “insight”; that massage is about communication - listening and responding to each other through touch. My motivation for attending the class was to learn how to give my partner a "better" massage, so I expected this to be an exercise in technique.

The unique benefit of this class for couples is that it emphasizes listening to your partner’s needs and responding through touch. This connection strengthens the intimacy between couples and allows massage to be both therapeutic and a shared bonding experience. I learned that technique doesn’t matter as much as touch; doing doesn't matter as much as being responsive to someone else’s needs; and there’s no such thing as a bad massage if you are truly open to the person.
