About Us
Sunrise Studio was founded in 2014 by an international couple who had attended numerous courses and trainings in alternative healing, tantric massages, conscious sexuality, and relationships.
Since then, interest in the body–mind connection and in awakening the potential for pleasure and joy has continued to grow in Oslo. The founders practiced tantric (holistic sensual) massage, later became certified in Sexological Bodywork and Somatic Sex Education, and explored various psychotherapy modalities as clients themselves, seeking to better understand themselves and heal their own traumas.
In 2018, they completed professional training in BodyMind Gestalt Therapy. This educational program gave them a profound experience of being strongly connected with their bodies, emotions, and minds. For example, by grounding themselves in their bodily sensations, they were able to identify the suppressed emotions underlying chronic pain and become aware of the impulses their bodies were giving them toward resolving the problem.
They then expanded their field of activity, focusing not only on sexuality and the genital area. They consider the human being as an integrated, whole, and complex system in which all aspects and parts are interconnected.
Although they have studied scientific approaches and therapeutic techniques, which they find very helpful for understanding the possibilities of working with the body and mind, they do not like to intellectualize processes or put diagnostic labels on people. They have experienced firsthand the limited usefulness of clichés, fixed ideas, dogmas, and standardized techniques that are sometimes used as a panacea for people with similar symptoms.
Looking back on their own healing process, which was long and full of obstacles, they realized that many of their difficulties were rooted in emotional traumas connected to relationships. They tried many approaches to release tension and open up their bodies, including bodywork techniques, trauma therapy, and even BDSM. However, they found that the most effective elements of their healing were complete honesty with themselves, following their intuition, compassion, loving support, and the presence of their therapists.
Their View on Tantric Massage
Coming back to the topic of tantric massage, they see it as a large cake with many layers. There are many different possibilities, depending on what the therapist can offer and what the client is able to receive. For some people, it may simply be a deeply relaxing massage; for others, it can become a profound spiritual or healing experience.
Over more than 10 years of practice, they have worked with thousands of clients, each with their own expectations, experiences, and perspectives. There is no guarantee that a particular massage will provide exactly what someone is looking for, even if the therapist seems highly promising. To create the best possible experience, they recommend first becoming clear about your own intentions and communicating openly with your massage therapist.
Whatever your reasons for exploring tantric massage, it can offer an extraordinary experience. Few people have the opportunity in everyday life to receive such focused attention and presence from another person. During a session, the therapist’s attention is devoted entirely to you, creating space to slow down, relax, connect with your body, and experience yourself in a different way.
Today, the founders themselves have stepped away from practicing tantric massage and focus exclusively on psychotherapy. However, the studio continues to offer professional tantric massage through carefully selected therapists who work under the founders’ supervision and guidance. These therapists bring many years of experience and are committed to maintaining the high professional standards that the studio has developed over the years.
