★★★★★ - 5 stars My husband and I enjoyed learning Edward's method of giving and receiving a massage. Edward provided a safe environment and skilled guidance in not only a technique, but also in a mindset that informs how we touch others and how those we touch might receive us. Subtle points that made all the difference, as well as learning concrete and substantial techniques. Thank you, Edward! - Paula P.
★★★★★ - 5 starsWhat a fun Date Night Idea! I was searching for fun date night activities and this workshop popped up. What a fantastic experience doing the couple's massage workshop. I can't believe how the time flew by and we had so much fun and learned so much! - Carol & Bill R.

★★★★★ - 5 stars....filled me with tears of Joy. ......I CAN'T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH. ....... Edward's gentle calm approach was amazing. - Cynthia J
★★★★★ - 5 stars "We went to Healing Hands to celebrate my husband's 50th Birthday. My goal was to learn how to give a massage and for my husband to learn how to give a massage (I'm no fool). Edward Did an amazing job! It was awkward at first - my husband is pretty conservative!
Edward was patient and made it very easy to learn. We learned by doing, it was hands on teaching and learning. Time was devoted to instruction and to giving/receiving a real massage. Edward is more than qualified, he is passionate about massage and wellness and it shines through in his approach. The money we spent on massages will now be saved at home when we can give our own massages. Although I want to go to Edward b/c he was so good! I will tell my friends and family to go to Edward which is the best compliment!" FIVE STARS ! - Wendy R.
★★★★★ 5 starsMy Boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary with a couples instructive massage with Ed and it blew away our expectations! Not only was he a great teacher and comfortable partner to learn with, we both came out wonderfully relaxed! We took turns on the table and thoroughly enjoyed the massage Ed was giving as well as the ones he was teaching us to give each other. It was apparent that he knew what he was doing and was very good at it and also just a really nice, personable guy. Ed taught us how to plan and "flow" a massage based on our time and partners needs as well as what to actually do in each area and how to make it relaxing for both the receiver and the giver. We have since successfully practiced and enjoyed the techniques he taught us - which he intentionally and skillfully customized during our workshop to exactly what would be best for our needs/goals as a couple and as individuals. It was truly a wonderful, one of a kind experience and great for couples or if you just want to learn how to give massages, or if you want a practitioner that really knows their stuff and is extremely in tune with their clients needs. We absolutely loved it and would HIGHLY recommend this service and any services with Ed. - Rachel C.
