Your practice here New — not yet rated

A plain-English guide to every style, from Swedish to tantric

Therapists appear only under the massage types they choose to offer, so what you browse is what they do.

Private by design

Booking a massage is personal

Look, compare and send a request without an account. When you rate a therapist, your name stays off the page.

No account to browse

Browse every listing, read ratings and request a booking without signing up.

Anonymous ratings

Your name is never shown. Ratings publish in batches of three, so a therapist can't tell who rated what.

Straight to the therapist

Pick a date and a time of day on a profile, and your request goes straight to that therapist.

Private favourites

Nova members keep their own list of favourites, with an alert when a favourite has a free slot.

What every profile shows

Each profile shows how registered members who booked rated the therapist, and what a full body massage covers. This example is Mira's, one of the fictional example profiles.

For practitioners

Let local clients find your practice

Independent therapists, therapists who do home visits, day spas and salons all list the same way: a profile with your services, hours and body coverage, and booking requests emailed straight to you.

List your practice Plans and prices

Listed only under what you offer

A spa that offers Swedish and hot stone is listed under Swedish and hot stone, and nowhere else — the age-restricted tantric section lists only therapists who mark themselves as offering it.

Professional massage only

One house rule for everyone who uses the directory, therapists and clients alike (terms of service). Treatments are given on a professional massage table.

One listing for your salon or spa

Every therapist on one listing: profile, ratings and booking requests. Your prices, hours and way of working stay yours to decide.

Rated only by people who booked

Registered members can rate you only after booking you through their Sensunova account — stars and tags, no written reviews. New profiles show New — not yet rated.

Independent & home-visit therapists

Single therapist

One flat amount each month, set by where you practise.
