Set the mood by playing soothing music and lighting a few candles.
Warm up some massage oil to help your hands glide over the skin.
Start with the neck and shoulders, using your hands to press and pull the muscles.
Move onto the back, feet, and legs, using the same gliding motion with your hands.
Pick a private, warm room to massage in.
When the room is comfortable, the person you’re massaging will feel comfortable, too. Keep the heat a little bit higher than normal, since the person you’re massaging will be mostly undressed. Make sure the room is private as well so that there are no interruptions.
Choose some gentle classical music, or even some sounds from nature. These calming, relaxing noises will help your partner or client calm down and really enjoy the experience.
Keep the music softly playing in the background instead of turned up loud. You want the music to add to the experience, not take away from it.
There's something very relaxing about candles, so it's a good idea to light a couple around the room. Try some with relaxing (but not overpowering) scents, like lavender, sea breeze, or tropical.

Try to warm the oil and your hands slightly before applying the oil to your partner/client's skin. Cold oil/hands are not conducive to a relaxing massage!
Or, put the oil bottle in warm water to warm it up.
Never try to rush through the massage—it should be a luxurious, relaxing experience for the person you’re working on. There’s no set timeline, but an average massage usually lasts between 40 to 60 minutes.
Dedicate time to each individual body part, giving it your full care and attention, and keep your strokes long, smooth and slow.
