Massage & Bodywork

For men seeking depth, presence and connection

Body Scrub & Massage

  • A deeply restorative treatment designed to nourish the skin, settle the nervous system, and invite the body into a state of ease.

    This experience is offered as a soft, embodied, and consent-led space in which you are supported to slow down, breathe, and gently return to physical sensation, rather than remaining in habitual thinking or tension.

    The session includes a natural body scrub made from ultra-fine walnut, enriched with Vitamin E and Shea Butter. Applied slowly and intentionally, either before or after the massage, the scrub supports gentle exfoliation, circulation, and a renewed sense of vitality.

    The experience is then completed with a massage shaped around your body’s individual needs. Through attentive, therapeutic touch, space is created for the body to soften, the breath to deepen, and a grounded sense of balance and relaxation to be restored.

  • Body Scrub & Massage

    A nourishing full-body exfoliation followed by a soothing oil massage to revitalise skin and awaken the senses.

    1 hour session - $220

    1.5 hour session $250

    2 hour session - $320

    Can be delivered with or without sensual touch

Relaxation & Remedial Massage

  • Our relaxation massages are designed to ease stress and support deep rest. Long, flowing strokes and gentle techniques are used, with each session tailored to your preferences. Pressure and pace are adjusted thoughtfully to support both body and mind.

    Remedial massage is offered for clients seeking more focused attention for areas of tension, restricted movement, or physical discomfort. Targeted techniques are applied to support recovery, improve mobility, and assist the body’s natural repair processes. Pressure and approach are always adapted collaboratively, ensuring the work remains both effective and safe.

    Whether the intention is to unwind, reset, or simply pause, these sessions are held as an opportunity to slow down and return to a sense of calm, grounding, and support.

    All sessions are client-focused and offered within a safe, respectful, and professional environment.

  • Relaxation Massage

    Gentle, restorative bodywork to calm the nervous system and support deep relaxation.

    • 1 hour – $190

    • 1.5 hours – $220

    • 2 hours – $290

Embodied Connection Bodywork Massage

A deeply immersive sensory, full-body experience.

  • The Embodied Connection

    A Sensual Exploration of Pleasure through Touch

    This is more than a massage. It is offered as a unique embodied experience — a celebration of the body and an exploration of pleasure, presence, and self-connection.

    This full-body treatment is designed to engage not only the physical body, but also, for some, emotional, sensual, intimate, or spiritual layers of experience. It is held as a space in which deeper awareness and authentic sensation may be safely explored.

    With grounded presence and confident, masculine touch, long, flowing strokes are used to move rhythmically up and down the body, over and under, gradually building into a rich, sensual experience. This connected bodywork is offered naked, inviting natural body-to-body contact — without presumption, pressure, or expectation of a sexual experience.

    Through mindful, embodied touch, varying tempo, and attentive rhythm, erotic energy may naturally arise and is held with awareness. This allows pleasure to expand, circulate, and soften throughout the body. The session is gently brought to completion with a slow, soothing massage of the face, neck, and shoulders, supporting integration and deep rest.

    You are invited to step out of doing and into being — allowing the body to lead rather than the mind. The emphasis is not on achieving a response or outcome, but on allowing experience and the journey to unfold. Sensation is followed rather than driven, and space is given for the body to reveal what it needs in its own time.

    At the heart of this work is surrender. A safe, consent-based environment is provided, free from performance or goal. You are invited to release control, quiet the mind, and reconnect with the simple pleasure of being in your body.

    No goals. No expectations.
    Whatever unfolds is welcomed.

    This work centres on the joy of touch, pleasure, and aliveness — an invitation into the experience of being fully and vibrantly human.

    Sessions may be offered with warm oil or an ultra-soft shea butter and walnut body scrub on the massage table, guided by what your body requires on the day.

  • Embodied Connection

    A sensual exploration of pleasure through touch — full body -bodywork with long, flowing strokes and embodied presence.

    • 1 hour – $250

    • 1.5 hours – $280

    • 2 hours – $360

    (Can be delivered with warm oil on the massage table or on a mat with Thai Yoga Bodywork.)

The Mind-Body experience

A personalised somatic journey into the felt experience of your body—exploring curiosity, intimacy, and the nuances of pleasure.

  • The Mind–Body Experience

    Custom Erotic Bodywork for What Your Body and Mind Need to Feel, Explore, or Experience

    Each session is client-led, trauma-aware, and held with careful attention to boundaries, consent, and personal agency.

    The Mind–Body Experience is offered as a customised, body-based therapeutic session exploring the full spectrum of sensation, arousal, and embodied awareness. Informed by Taoist and Tantric principles, it integrates breath, conscious touch, movement, and focused presence — always shaped around what your body and mind most need in the moment.

    A sensual body scrub using shea butter, vitamin E, and coconut, or a hypoallergenic alternative, may be included at no additional charge. This adds a nourishing, tactile dimension that supports relaxation and deeper embodiment.

    The intention is to cultivate and circulate erotic energy throughout the body, supporting physical vitality, emotional awareness, and an integrated relationship with sexuality — free from pressure, goal, or performance.

    Experiences may unfold in different ways, including:

    • A deeply embodied, full-body energetic and pleasure-based experience, or

    • A gentle settling into rest, integration, and emotional release.

    While sessions may carry erotic charge, this is not offered as a sexual service. Rather, a respectful, consent-based space is provided in which shame may be softened, curiosity supported, and pleasure rediscovered through intentional, therapeutic touch.

    Depending on your interests and readiness, sessions may include elements such as:

    • Rosebud massage

    • Anal mapping

    • Erotic curiosity and sensation play

    • Personalised erotic mapping

    • Kink-informed somatic exploration

    • Exploration of fantasy, fetish, and embodied desire

    All practices are introduced collaboratively and only where mutual comfort and clarity are present.

    At Body Curious, Taoist Erotic Massage may be woven into this experience, bringing together somatic awareness, intentional touch, and therapeutic presence to support healing, growth, and authentic erotic expression.

  • The Mind–Body Experience

    A custom erotic bodywork journey integrating Taoist and Tantric principles with breath, movement, and focused awareness. Includes a complimentary sensual body scrub.

    • 1 hour – $290

    • 1.5 hours – $350

    • 2 hours – $465

    (includes complimentary sensual body scrub)

Thai Yoga Bodywork

  • Thai Yoga Massage

    A deeply grounding and revitalising experience informed by Ayurvedic principles and traditional Thai healing practices.

    This holistic treatment combines rhythmic acupressure, energy balancing, and passive yoga-style stretching to support mobility, circulation, and overall balance. Using hands, forearms, knees, and feet, the practitioner gently guides your body through a flowing sequence of assisted movements and sustained holds, shaped around your individual needs.

    Thai Yoga Massage may support:

    • Improved flexibility and joint mobility

    • Relief from muscular tension and fatigue

    • Support for digestion and nervous system regulation

    • Deep relaxation and balanced energetic flow

    This is offered as a therapeutic and meditative experience, well suited to those seeking deep release, mindful movement, and a renewed connection to breath and body.

    All sessions are client-focused and held within a safe, respectful, and professional environment.

  • Thai Yoga Bodywork

    Jonn

    Jonn Close
    Massage & Bodywork for Men - Somatic Sex Therapy & Counselling,

    Jonn Close brings extensive professional training and a deep, personal understanding of what it means to support men as a certified Massage and Bodywork Practitioner. His practice is grounded in the philosophy that the body holds a man's history, and that skilled, attentive touch can be profoundly restorative.

    Jonn's commitment to men's health is longstanding and personal. Body Curious began as a yoga studio created specifically for men, born from his personal practice and rehabilitation from a major accident, and a belief that men deserve dedicated space to reconnect with their bodies without judgment or expectation. Over time that commitment evolved into massage, bodywork, somatic sex therapy, and counselling, offering men a grounded, professional space for physical restoration, rehabilitation, and embodied wellbeing.

    Having navigated health challenges, including cancer and recovery, Jonn understands the male body under pressure in ways that go beyond the clinical. He knows what it means to rebuild physical confidence, to work with a body that has changed, and to find a way forward.

    Sessions are offered within a respectful, trauma-aware environment with clear attention to consent, pacing, and individual need. Support can encompass relaxation, embodied connection, tension, stress, recovery, post-surgical rehabilitation, and general physical and emotional restoration.

    Whether a man arrives for relaxation, recovery, or simply to feel more at home in his body, each session is tailored with care, professionalism, and genuine understanding of the male experience.

  • Emilio

    Bodywork & Relaxation Massage Practitioner

    Emilio is a certified Whole Body Massage practitioner and yoga teacher whose work centres on relaxation, nervous system regulation, and embodied awareness. His approach is drawn from Ayurvedic and Taoist principles, alongside Yin Yoga–based techniques.

    A calm and attentive touch is offered, supporting deep rest, the release of tension, and a gentle reconnection with the body.

    Sessions are grounded in presence, breath, and respectful pacing, allowing space for the nervous system to settle and for clients to slow down, soften, and feel safely held.

Testimonials

  • Peter H.

    I like to do a bit of weight training and cardio but that can leave me feeling very tight and stiff. Whenever I’m in Sydney I make a point of booking a Thai yoga massage session with John or one of the guys at CE Yoga. John knows more about the body than anyone I’ve ever known. He works really hard during our 90 minute sessions to stretch and loosen me up, leaving me feeling totally relaxed, rejuvenated and with a bounce in my stride that lasts for days. If I lived closer I’d be back every week.

  • Andrew P.

    Have been having massage sessions at BC over a couple of years and with a few different masseurs. All of the masseurs tailor the session to my physical areas of discomfort and at a pressure that they regular check is OK for me. The sessions never seen rushed and I always finish relaxed and walking taller. Couldn't recommend the guys more highly.

  • Mike H.

    The therapists here are caring, intuitive and extremely knowledgeable in what they do. They are always professional yet personable and provide excellent service. I happily recommend them and look forward to my next session.

  • Paul D

    Totally mind blowing. Great touch, very sensual relaxing massage, totally at ease with Jonn. Highly recommended.

  • Laszlo K

    I had my first Thai yoga massage with Jonn and it was a fantastic experience. He was super friendly and explained me what's happening and made me feel comfortable in all the different stretches and positions. I felt like floating even days after the massage and I'll definitely be back!

  • Niall R

    Can’t recommend John highly enough. A true professional at what he does, always making sure that you’re ok throughout the session. I look forward to a return visit.

  • Daniel K

    It was the best and most intimate full body massage I have ever had. Alex was very attentive to tight and sore areas that needed extra pressure. I was able to be completely in the moment which took away any of life’s stresses and distractions. It also helped that the rain sound was soothing. Thanks Alex and team. I will be back.
