Tipping in the Netherlands is optional. Leave something if you want to. It is never expected, and it is not added to the treatment price.

Yes. A couples and friends massage means two people at the same time, each in a separate room, each choosing a treatment. It is not a shared table. See the treatments and regular prices at https://www.thepausenl.com/couples-massage.

Tell us you are pregnant before you book. Massage in pregnancy, and especially in the first trimester, is a decision to make with your doctor or midwife first. We do not treat pregnancy as a condition, and we do not claim any health effect from a visit.

Tell us before you book if you have a fever, a skin infection, a recent injury, thrombosis, active cancer, a heart or kidney condition, or anything else you are being treated for. This is a relaxing massage and wellness drainage, not a treatment for those conditions. Speak to your doctor first if you are unsure.
