I want to teach you how to give a great massage
Each Couples Massage Workshop is held in our studio space or can take place in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Filled with simple, easy-to-learn true massage techniques.

At the end of each workshop you will each have given a complete massage.

Creating Greater Intimacy through Touch - Private Workshop
When you experience a deeper intimacy with your partner, your heart sings. You feel connected body, mind, and soul.
Learn how to unlock the trans formative power of touch.
Each workshop is approx 3.5-4.0 hrs hrs. but can be customized to your needs. You may also add time in 1 hr increments
My goal with these workshops is to help people, primarily couples, truly connect, or re-connect, find new ways to draw closer together through the use of touch and communication. For couples who have attended any of the Couple's Massage Workshop I offer customized workshops and private sessions to help you build a closer relationship.
Intimate Touch Workshops are designed for couples who want to learn more intimate or erotic touch than they might be comfortable learning in a traditional workshop. Each session is unique and designed specifically for each couple.
Mini Retreats All workshops are available as a Mini Retreat at our Martha's Vineyard Location. You also have the option to create a longer workshop by extending it one hour.
There are 2 spare bedrooms available in Edward's home with access to a full bathroom, kitchen, outside shower and private deck. Overnight Cost is +$350 per night and includes a day pass or just a day pass which includes full use of the grounds, Zen sundeck, outdoor shower, hammocks, bathroom facilities and a bicycle is +$100
Group Workshops Similar to our Private Workshops but done in small groups, these hands-on workshops can be organized by you and facilitated by me. At the moment, I am not organizing and scheduling group workshops, but I am happy to work with you at your location. Just as enjoyable and little more cost effective.

Hear what others say:
★★★★★ - 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 starsWe had a fantastic experience doing the couple's massage workshop. Edward is highly knowledgeable and easy to connect with. We would highly recommend and will be back! -Preston D.
★★★★★ - 5 starsEdward was great at communicating with me before our session so he could know what we wanted & what we were comfortable with etc. & he planned accordingly. My husband and I really wanted to learn some massage techniques that we could do to relieve stress & pain for each other, but also to just enjoy the connection & time together while massaging each other & Edward was great at showing us things we were interested in learning. He created a sort of “hybrid” class that also pulled in some intimacy into the workshop. He was very professional & didn’t make it awkward even though it was very intimate at times :). He gave us some amazing ideas & tips for doing massage as a couple at home.
It was a really amazing experience & I would do it again in a heart beat. I would recommend this to any couples who love massage (both giving & receiving) or anyone looking to spend more time as & have more intimacy as a couple. It’s a fun way to connect with your spouse or significant other on a level that you might not have experienced before. Highly worth it. Thank you, Edward! We’re very excited to take what you taught us & use it often at home. :) - Cheryl S.
★★★★★ - 5 stars The Intimate Touch Workshop filled me with tears of Joy. This past year had put such a strain on our relationship, I was searching for a way for us to reconnect and came across the workshop by Edward. I CAN'T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH. We resolved that it was worth overcoming any inhibitions to really get the most from it. Edward's gentle calm approach was amazing. Though a series of exercises at the beginning, we learned how to appreciate each other in ways that I thought were lost forever. We resolved that it was worth overcoming any inhibitions to really. In the massage portion we learned to really "connect" and for both of us there was a new clarity around appreciating the joy in giving. At one point at the end we lost track of time and space and forgot Edward was even with us. The way he asks open ended questions and leads us through discussions allowed us to really communicate our feelings and open up to each other in a way that was beautiful and non confrontational. We felt sooooo connected upon leaving and feel this was the perfect reset that we desperately needed. - Cynthia J
★★★★★ - 5 starsThe intimacy workshop my husband and I had with Healing Hands was an investment in our relationship. From simple things like tender touches to the face and hair to much more intimate touching it felt like we could finally focus on our relationship and connection, apart from the usual day to day stresses and pressures of life. Edward also helped me reassess my attitudes towards intimacy and have a healthier mindset/approach towards it. He was great at asking thoughtful questions and offering a healthy external point of view. I was incredibly happy with how this session went especially as my husband nor I had met Edward before. I'd give Edward and Healing Hands an incredibly enthusiastic recommendation for anyone seeking to reconnect with their partner and re-igniting the intimacy in the relationship! - Lydia R.
★★★★★ - 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.
★★★★★ 5 starsMy wife and I really enjoyed our melt - couples massage workshop. This was planned as a fun experience for a birthday without a lot of consideration, and it turned out to be one of the most fun birthday experiences we've ever had. Edward did a masterful job of blending the quiet serenity of a massage with the fun experience of a couples class. We both left feeling like we'd had an amazing opportunity to connect away from the kids and the hustle of life, while also getting a really fantastic massage.
Edward was incredibly respectful of any and all boundaries and was careful to make sure we were both comfortable through the entire experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Edward and Healing Hands to any family or friends; in fact we already have! - Kevin C.
