Like children for the four hours after a cupcake binge, muscles don't behave properly when they are wound up. Put muscles in time out with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

• $87 for a couples massage class (a $175 value)
• $72 for a couples acupressure class (a $145 value)

After discussing the purpose and goals of the massage class, body mechanics, and techniques for 30 minutes in a small group, each pair receives 90 minutes of hands on instruction in a small classroom setting. A therapist demonstrates Swedish and deep-tissue modalities, which couples can then practice on each other while in comfortable exercise like attire. Couples in the acupressure class first spend 30 minutes in a small group to learn about techniques that can ease tension and balance energy before testing their skills during 60 minutes of hands-on practice.

Washington Institute of Natural Medicine

Instead of relying on a few professionals to oversee a large number of cases, Dr. Victoria Goldsten distributes responsibility among a large team of specialists. When clients need help losing weight, Dr. Goldsten pairs them with a nutritional consultant or body-wrap technician. Those seeking an energy-based approach to healing can meet with a doctor of naturopathology, an acupuncturist, or a reiki healer. The diverse team of specialists is bound together by the eclectic experience of Dr. Goldsten, whose title bears more acronyms than a government phone directory.
