FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about the Purple Touch® method — how it came about, what it is built on, who it is for and how to find a certified therapist. If your question isn't here, message us directly on WhatsApp.
What is Purple Touch® and how is it different from a regular massage?
Purple Touch® is not a classic massage focused only on the muscles. It is an original method of bodywork that brings together fascial techniques, conscious touch, work with the nervous system and deep regeneration.
The aim is not only to ease the spots that hurt, but to create space in which the body can gradually release the tension, stress and fatigue stored in its deeper layers.
How did the Purple Touch® method come about?
The method was created by Sabina Dos, who since 2012 has studied the human body, movement and the relationship between physical tension, emotions and the nervous system.
Over the years she has drawn on sports and lymphatic massage, myofascial techniques, Chinese cupping and the traditional Māori practice of Rōmi Rōmi, inspired by Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. Purple Touch® grew naturally out of these experiences.
What is the method built on?
Purple Touch® works on four levels: with fascia, where tension is stored; with the nervous system, whose state determines the touch the body needs right now; with conscious touch guided by full presence; and, where appropriate, with Chinese cupping.
Each session has a clear structure, yet the work itself always follows what the body needs in the moment.
Who is Purple Touch® for?
Purple Touch® is for anyone who feels tension, stress, fatigue or overload, or simply needs to slow down and return to their body.
You don't need a specific problem or any previous experience. It is enough to want to give your body attention, calm and deeper care.
Which treatments does the method include?
Purple Touch® Signature Massage — a full-body session working with fascia and the nervous system across the full breadth of the method.
Face & Head — a gentle yet profound treatment for the head, face, neck and décolleté.
Session length and price are agreed directly with your therapist.
Does a session include Chinese cupping?
A Signature session may also include Chinese cupping.
Cupping is never included automatically for every client. It always depends on the state of your body, any contraindications and what is right for you on the day.
Do I need to undress completely?
No. It always depends on what feels comfortable for you.
Throughout the session you are professionally draped with a towel or sheet. Only the part of the body the therapist is working on is uncovered.
Is Purple Touch® an erotic or tantric massage?
No. Purple Touch® is not an erotic, intimate or tantric massage.
It is professional therapeutic bodywork. Any inappropriate, intimate or sexual behaviour is not part of the method and will not be tolerated.
When is Purple Touch® not suitable?
A session is not suitable if you have a fever, an acute infection, a recent injury, acute inflammation or any other condition for which massage has not been recommended.
If you are unsure, please consult your therapist before the session.
How will I feel after a session?
Every body responds differently. Some people leave with a sense of deep calm, lightness and release. Others may feel a pleasant tiredness or a need to rest.
After a session we recommend drinking water, taking your time and giving your body space to integrate the change.
Who can offer Purple Touch®?
Purple Touch® sessions are offered by certified therapists who have completed the Purple Touch® Academy training under the guidance of Sabina Dos, the founder of the method.
Every session is tailored to the client's current needs, boundaries and condition.
Where can I find a therapist and how do I book?
You will find certified therapists on our Therapist Map. Each profile lists location, specialisation and contact details — date, price and booking terms are arranged directly with the therapist.
If you are not sure whom to choose, message us via WhatsApp, email or Instagram and we will be happy to help.
Can I learn the method?
Yes. Purple Touch® Academy offers certification training in small groups — in Prague and in Lecce, Italy.
For many participants the training is also a personal journey — a way to understand their own body and touch more deeply, not only a professional qualification.
