We all know how important it is to practice self care, whether it’s meditating, having a bathtub session or – my personal favorite – indulging in a massage. But rather than head to the spa, I decided to make life a bit easier by logging onto Soulhouse, an online self-care platform dedicated to stress-free premium wellness treatments. What makes this service special is that instead of having to travel to get a treatment, the massage therapist will come to wherever you are, whether that’s home or at the office. The booking process via app or online is smooth and simple: you just select the massage type, pick a preferred date and time, type in your address and the available experts will be displayed. Soulhouse currently has more than 100 expert profiles. You can get all the usual treatments, from the gentle, light Wellness massage to a full body Swedish massage or, if you want to keep it traditional, a deep Thai massage. For a real treat for two there’s the Couples massage where two experts give you and your partner or (close) friend a treatment in parallel. Whether you opt for 60, 90 or the full 120 minutes, it’s a lovely joint indulgence and makes a great Valentine’s Day gift.
I myself booked a Classic massage, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so relaxed in my own house. My massage expert came with everything he needed, including soothing music. Being able to squeeze the session into my weekday schedule was great – knowing that Soulhouse charges around 30 percent less than conventional studios was even better. If you do want the full spa experience, you’ll soon be able to attend Soulhouse’s own “massage boutique” in Berlin. I’m counting those days until my next pampering session…
