Oils & Ambiance

Discover the best oils for relaxation and how to set the perfect atmosphere — from scent to music to lighting — every time.

They Loved It

We came in with zero experience and left feeling like total pros. The instructor made it so easy and fun — we've already done the routine at home twice this week!

Honestly the best date night we've had in years. The wine, the atmosphere, the instructor — everything was perfect. We're already signed up for the next one.

Bought this as a Valentine's gift and it blew every other idea out of the water. Thoughtful, romantic, practical, and genuinely hilarious fun. 10/10.

FAQ

Do we need any prior experience? ▼
Absolutely not! The Good Hurt is designed for total beginners. Our instructor walks you through everything step by step — all you need to bring is yourselves.
What should we wear? ▼
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement. You'll be working on each other over clothing for most techniques, though we do work on bare shoulders and back for some sections — towels are always provided.
How big are the classes? ▼
We keep classes intimate — no more than 5 couples at a time. This ensures you get plenty of personal guidance and a relaxed, cozy atmosphere.
What's included in the price? ▼
Everything you need: oils, towels, an instructor-led guided session, and a digital take-home routine guide. The Full Hurt class also includes a complimentary glass of wine or sparkling cider.
Can I give this as a gift? ▼
Yes — gift cards are available in any denomination and never expire. They can be delivered digitally or printed. Perfect for anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or any special occasion.
What's your cancellation policy? ▼
No Refunds. Within 48 hours, we'll happily reschedule you to any future class at no charge.
