Bernhard's
Tantra Massage Practice
on the Zürichberg
sometimes new doors to yourself
open sensually,
joyfully and easily
Welcome
Welcome to my homepage – and maybe soon to my practice on the Zürichberg.
More than 20 years ago I discovered Tantra seminars and Tantra massages for myself, which has freed an incredible amount of life energy in me. But it wasn't until years later, when I got to know "sensual healing", a sensual-tantric flowing massage, that I co-led courses and also offered massages part-time. A few years ago, I got to know the meditative tantra massage, which touched me even more deeply and intimately and gave me the impulse to offer tantra massages again after a long break.
My wish is to inspire and support you as a woman (possibly also you as a man or non-binary person) to find a deeper, more diverse access to your body, your sensuality and your feelings. For this purpose, I offer you various tantra massages. I also offer you to discover in a tantric encounter with me how you can have sensual-pleasurable-tantric experiences in interaction with a counterpart. Do you have any other ideas or thoughts? Just get in touch with me and we'll see what evolves.
Are you thinking about booking a tantra massage for the first time or do you already have some experience? I will be happy to respond to you and adjust the pace, intensity and process accordingly. All feelings and sensations are also carefully accompanied by me. Uncertainty, embarrassment, shame, fears, nervousness or blockages are can be part of it as well. They usually change by themselves if we slow down, give them space and security and if we remain lovingly present or simply name them in a non-judgmental way.
The natural inclusion of the intimate area in the massages and the natural openness to sensual-pleasurable-sexual sensations can change your body image, your life energy, your joy of life and your self-image of how you stand in life very positively.
I look forward to accompanying you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Bernhard.
General note
In my tantra massages, the intimate area is carefully touched. Delicate, sensual, lustful feelings may arise, but it never becomes the sole focus to want to "effect" something in the intimate area. I want you to feel comfortable and alive throughout your body. Touching in the intimate area can open doors to liveliness, but focusing on it alone would fall far short. Waves of pleasure are allowed – but they don't have to be.
What is "Tantra" for me?
Tantra is a way of life for me:
I say yes to myself,
with everything that makes me who I am,
and I say yes to life,
with everything it shows me.
I don't always succeed in this, but it's always an important guideline for me. In the process, the painful also gets its place and has its justification, because it is just as much a part of being human with all developmental steps and because it is usually an indication and harbinger of upcoming changes.
I am mainly influenced by Western "white" Tantra with meditations (calm and moving), breathing exercises, bodywork and body awareness together with the basics of humanistic body psychotherapy. Essential for me is the strengthening of vitality, the "spirits", self-contact and self-expression, among other things by including the sensual-sexual energies in the body. This is about self-perception as well as spiritual and personal development, not about sexual practices.
What can you expect in Bernhard's Tantra Massage Practice on the Zürichberg?
Tantra massages include the whole body, including the intimate area, as well as all sensations and feelings. Sensuality, lust, excitement and ecstasy have just as much room as shame, fear, anger, emptiness, etc. I experience tantra massages again and again as an easy access to a lot of life energy and inner truth. An easy way to free yourself from imprints, norms, shame as well as your own, blocking ideas and to get deeper into yourself. Even if the life force seems blocked right now, a tantra massage can reopen doors to yourself and/or re-establish a deeper, calmer connection to yourself. And of course, a tantra massage can also simply be received with pleasure.
A tantra massage can reawaken and strengthen your yes to yourself. It can support youin getting to know yourself better in all your facets - also very physically and sensually, pleasurably and with everything that makes you who you are. Full of energy and at the same time very calmly connected to you. Inwardly free and with a yes to life.
By the way: Wrinkles, love handles, overweight, underweight, scars and generally unloved, shameful body regions etc. are also included just as lovingly. Even your age is no reason to no longer experience yourself sensual, pleasurable and pleasant in your body or to withdraw with it.

My offers
The meditative tantra massage is a calm, tantric, full body massage with a predetermined sequence, includes the intimate area and lasts about 2.5 hours.
Slow, calm and repetitive touches over the whole body and also in the intimate area help the body and nervous system to relax more deeply than in other tantra massages. So you can just enjoy. Sensual-erotic-sexual feelings can arise, but they don't have to. The procedure is basically given, but if a touch in a certain place does not feel good to you, I will of course adjust the process accordingly.
👉 The meditative tantra massage is for you if you like calm massages and a predetermined sequence with repetitions relaxes you rather than moving, lively, more dynamic massages. I can also recommend this massage if you recharge your batteries through calm and slow touches and get into better contact with yourself than with more lively massages.
PS: The winged term "mantra tantra" fits quite well here. Just as with mantras, certain short texts are spoken or sung repeatedly, in meditative tantra massage there are recurring strokes or touch sequences. Through the repetitions, touch soon feels familiar and the body and nervous system can calm down better and perception can deepen. If you or your nervous system would be overwhelmed by too many new impressions, this could be just the thing for you.
The sensual tantric flowing massage is a tantric full-body massage with little predetermined structure and a lot of freedom for the moment and for intuition. It includes the intimate area and lasts about 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on your preference or the course of the session.
The intimate area is naturally included in the massage. After the first gentle touches over the whole body, I will stimulate the "flow" in your body - a lively and at the same time relaxed, harmonious energy movement. You can just "let yourself flow", surrender and enjoy the energies in your body. You are also welcome to move under my hands and express your energy waves and feelings. At times it can arise like a common "dance", whereby I always support you to stay completely with yourself, with your body perceptions, to follow your energies and impulses and to enjoy them. Usually it is a sensual and pleasurable journey that always arises entirely from the moment. Waves of the highest pleasure are allowed – but they don't have to be. And quiet phases are just as much a part of it.
👉 The sensual tantric flowing massage is for you if you like lively massages and a given sequence would rather constrict you, i.e. if you like a certain dynamic and may already bring some with you. If you trust your and my intuition and the moment and want to help shape the flow when it feels like it.
PS: If you already have some experience with energetic tantra massages, we can dive in a little more directly, let go and go "on the high seas". If this is still new to you, we would first move in the "coastal area" with less high waves to gain experience and to be able to navigate safely later.
The tantric encounter. I also call this a sensual tantric resonance and research space. This is a space limited in time and place for a tantric encounter, a tantric exchange, in which there is no predetermined structure. We both contribute our impulses and shape the process together. The session lasts about 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on your preference or the course of the session, and includes the intimate area.
A preliminary conversation about ideas, wishes and limits (yours and mine) is very helpful, if necessary by e-mail, chat or telephone. A short get-to-know-me meeting in the city is also possible before you book a session.
In contrast to the other tantra massages, where I take the lead and take you on a journey, here we are equal in a resonance and research space, i.e. without a predetermined structure. Together we create this experience and can playfully try out where our "vibes" and the shared energy flow feel good and more liveliness and depth arises. At the same time, I am always fully attuned to you, because I want to support your research journey, your impulses and your liveliness in this experience. And you can touch me as well. Ideas, wishes and ideas can come true, but it also takes our openness to the unexpected and unpredictable to really explore and discover with curiosity, because the tantric encounter opens up a space of its own.
So you experience yourself together with me actively in a sensual natural sexual togetherness of our energies. This can be playful, relaxed, lively and energetic, even short wrestling is possible. At the same time, I would also like to explore the subtleties and the softer and quieter energy waves with you. Pausing is always helpful. Self-awareness, self-reflection and the exchange about it can also deepen this – during the session and/or in the follow-up discussion.
👉 The tantric encounter, the tantric resonance and research space is for you if you want to resonate with me and enter and experience a common research space. We are researching for more liveliness and more authenticity in this sensual-tantric "energy play", this "dance" at eye level. It is important to me that it is a safe space for you at all times, so that you can contribute your impulses and energy as freely as possible - including your sexual energy.
IMPORTANT: In the other settings, I maintain strict professional distance and neutrality so that you can stay fully with your attention and experience. The resonance or research space, the tantric encounter is different! We resonate and interchange with each other, because sometimes it is precisely this personal, energetic dialogue, the magic or the spark, the resonance in the common field, that makes a new experience possible in the first place. I am as authentic and equal a counterpart as possible at eye level and at the same time I always want to support you in your experience and support your liveliness. So I am similar to a "sparring", "practice" or "training partner". At the same time, I am also touchable – physically, emotionally and energetically.
PS: I am 186 cm tall, 78 kg and 'normally' athletic. Sometimes this helps to feel whether resonance could arise. And of course, much more than that plays a role.
Note: In all my tantra massages and also in this tantric room for encounter, any form of sex is excluded! Tantra massages and also this setting are always a kind of a "ritual" setting for me, in which your deepened perception of yourself is in the foreground and I support you on a part of your journey. And it's also my personal limit what I'm open to in these settings. Sexual energy is allowed to flow fully and freely, physical contact is wonderful, but penetration and oral stimulation are excluded! Further details must be clarified individually.
If you feel the call and would like to explore this space with me, then I look forward to your inquiry.
Personalised tantra massages are possible. If you don't have a clear yes to any of the first three offers, but feel addressed by one or the other aspect, then describe to me what the elements of your personal tantra massage should be. Or you can freely describe to me what you want and I'll see if I can and want to offer it to you. Prior clarifications by e-mail, chat, telephone or video call can be useful and are possible.
The holding and cuddling sessions usually last between one and 2.5 hours – depending on your wishes or depending on the course of the session. The intimate area is not touched and it is not about sensual-sexual energies or experiences.
Sometimes holding and/or cuddling in a mindful, conscious setting and with clear boundaries and agreements is just the right thing to have a certain experience. This is mostly gentle and sometimes playful. Trust your intuition! It may be that as you read these lines, your nervous system already suspects that a certain form of holding and/or cuddling – clothed, partially naked or completely naked – could give you a deep experience, maybe just what is needed. Maybe your system is looking for a "reference experience" for unintentional, natural closeness and acceptance. I'm not a therapist when it comes to attachment wounds, but I usually radiate a calmness that is often helpful for the co-regulation of activated nervous systems. And I'll stay present, even if things should "shake you up".
IMPORTANT: Holding or cuddling is clearly NOT about sexual energies! It is about trusting, unintentional, natural physical contact. Often in our development we had far too little normal-relaxed experience of nakedness, touch and physical contact. Either it was missing and/or it was sexualized and/or our self-determination was restricted or denied to us altogether. It can therefore have a very liberating effect if that non-sexual experience can be nourished by closeness, security, acceptance and trust. And you can also touch me, if you want. The nervous system and the soul can experience that physical closeness is not always sexualized, that you get support and that the desire for relaxed closeness, being held and security is not confused with intimacy and sexuality. This can also help to clarify for yourself how you want to create physically and/or emotionally trusting and reliable connections and relationships, because we adults also have a need for non-sexualized closeness, attention and touch. Distinguishing this from sexual desire and experiencing it in this way can have a very clarifying and relaxing effect.
Follow your intuition, describe your request to me and we will see together if I can offer it to you. I am also open to working with therapists eg. if they are not allowed or unwilling to come into physical contact with you due to their professional ethics and/or legal requirements, while this could be supportive for your path.
-
Discretion and confidentiality are a matter of course for me.
-
Hygiene, cleanliness and health are also a matter of course.
-
In all my sessions, there is a short preliminary talk and a short final conversation.
-
Clear communication is important to me, where we both know as precisely as possible what should be part of the session and what shouldn't. In case of ambiguities or sensitive topics, the preliminary talk may take a little longer and is part of the session.
-
Since I can't read minds, it's important to me that you say at any time during the session if something doesn't feel good, if you want something different, if you feel a boundary or if you just need a short break or a pause/slowdown to feel more precisely where it could go next or what you need right now.
-
For the tantric offers, after the preliminary talk, we both start dressed in a lunghi or cloth sitting on the futon/mat opposite each other, doing a small ritual to get attuned. You then lie down, covered by a cloth and I start getting in contact with you with the first simple touches. Slowly my touches go further and further over your whole body. Later with oil all over the skin, including the genital area. If it is not obvious that you are comfortable at any moment, I will ask regularly and adjust the massage accordingly.
-
During the meditative tantra massage and the sensual-tantric flow massage, I am always dressed in tight-fitting boxer shorts. With more dynamic settings, you can decide what feels coherent, natural, relaxed and therefore supportive for you.
-
You can just enjoy and you can move at any time. You can say at any time if a touch in a certain place is not pleasant, if you want more or less pressure, if the pace could be faster or slower, or if you have any other desire or impulse. As far as I can, I'll go with it. And I always and consistently respect your boundaries.
-
Sensual and sexual energies are allowed to flow freely. An energetic climax or orgasm can occur – but it doesn't have to!
-
"Difficult" feelings such as sadness, shame, anger, fear, etc. have just as much room as the "pleasant" feelings.
-
I only do massage of internal areas (e.g. G-spot or anal area) after clear consultation.
-
I can accompany and hold your physical-emotional processes. While this can have a therapeutic effect, I don't see myself as a therapist, but rather as a "companion" or "mountain guide."
-
I have quite a bit of knowledge and experience in the areas of bodywork, trauma, nervous system, activation and regulation, etc. and would say that I work trauma-sensitively without having a complete training in that.
-
Tantra massages can take the form of process work or bodywork, but I also very consciously invite the pleasurable side, because I am deeply convinced that strengthened resources often give the body and soul the strength to change other "construction sites", blockages and issues, with one's own wisdom, strength and at one's own pace from the inside out for the better – perhaps only in the days or weeks after a session.
-
I learned the tantric massages with women. I have almost no experience with men and non-binary people, but I have no fear of contact. If you are interested in a session with me, despite the little experience, just get in touch with me and we will see how I can support and accompany you.
-
In all my tantra massages and also in the tantric encounter, any form of sex is clearly excluded! Tantra massages are always a "ritual" setting for me, in which your deepened perception of yourself is in the foreground and I would like to support you on a part of your journey. And it's also my personal limit what I'm open to in these settings. Sexual energy is allowed to flow fully and freely, physical contact is wonderful, but penetration and oral stimulation are excluded!

About me
I am a generally curious and open person. I'm interested in technology as much as I am in people. I like to explore my own personal aspects and facets, as well as the interaction in contact with others. Sometimes I'm a computer nerd, sometimes a relationship and community person, and sometimes I just like to be alone in nature. I describe myself as self-reflective, communicative, differentiated in my views and open-minded.
In terms of tantra, sensuality, physicality, etc., I took my steps at my own pace, sought inspiration, researched and tried out again and again what felt really coherent and free to me. Sometimes this was a long and winding road with some crises and changes. I have "found" a lot of myself and my very original liveliness in the "Dance of the 5 Rhythms" – a free, individual, lightly guided dance in groups. For more than 10 years, this was also my weekly "mental hygiene" thru the body and at the same time I learned to be in contact with people in a different way. I learned to feel energetic coherence and to be better and better "good with myself" – especially while I am in contact with others.
It then felt like a realignment in my life when I visited the Polarity Therapy school (a body therapy form similar to Cranio, Shiatsu, Trager, Rolfing etc.). This gave me a fundamentally new approach to myself and to people. For me, however, all the topics around sexuality were missing in this training and I knew that there was even more power hidden – in me and also in many other people. And so I came to Tantra to free my own life energies and to be more and more myself. Through the liberated energy, I then also implemented many ideas and realized projects: I organized free dance evenings, cuddle evenings, heart circles and co-founded two community houses among others. Rather incidentally, I discovered that I like to offer tantra massages on a part-time basis – because I experience every session as very touching and enriching.

Disclaimer
I see my offers as offers, as invitations, as possible spaces of experience in which I accompany you as best I can. I have no therapeutic training and also do not have the capacity to competently accompany deep personal processes over a longer period of time. If old, difficult experiences should surface, it is your own responsibility, if necessary together with your family doctor and/or therapist and, if you want, with my support, to find someone with whom you can work through this.
My offers do not replace medical and/or therapeutic advise and/or treatments. I will also never give any advice or recommendation that contradicts a medical or therapeutic recommendation.
I reserve the right to sign an agreement together with you in the first session, in which we both clearly say yes to the boundaries that we will both adhere to – for your protection and mine. I also reserve the right to say no if I don't want to work with you, and I'm under no obligation to justify it. I also reserve the right to distance myself and to report assaults, violence and stalking.
