a word about pricing
A Word About Pricing
At Healing Hands Bodywork, the details of every treatment are crafted with care, expertise, and meticulous attention. Pricing is not just a reflection of time on the table, but also the training, presence, and intention behind each session.
We generally offer four tiers of experience:
Foundational & Restorative
Premium Experiential
Specialized & Clinical
Ceremonial
Foundational & Restorative
This tier includes Swedish massage and other relaxation-focused sessions:
gentle, grounding work designed to soothe the nervous system. These treatments resemble what you might find in other spas or with other island providers, though likely more elevated and always delivered with our signature care and attention.
Premium Experiential
Custom bodywork, Lomi Lomi, Esalen-inspired sessions, and Flōte treatments fall into this tier. These are immersive experiences, incorporating unique techniques, slower pacing, and emotional depth. Many of these offerings were created or uniquely adapted by Edward—including his interpretation of Esalen bodywork, which is rooted in tradition but shaped by decades of personal practice. You won’t find these exact sessions offered anywhere else.
Couples massage experiences also draw from this tier. They’re designed to be connective, relaxing, and memorable—blending shared presence with expert bodywork in a uniquely personal way.
Specialized & Clinical
This tier includes services like Vodder® Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), Prenatal Massage, Oncology Massage, and Deep Squeeze. These require advanced training and are tailored to specific client needs.
The MLD we offer is clinical Vodder work—authentic, precise, and extremely hard to find. If you see MLD listed elsewhere, we encourage you to verify the provider’s credentials, as the term is often used for treatments that don’t reflect true MLD training.
Oncology Massage also belongs in this category, but we offer it at the lowest rate in our practice to ensure that those who need this care can access it.
Ceremonial
Treatments like the
Ancient Lomi Lomi Journey
and the
Flōte Ritual with Salt Scrub
sit at the ceremonial end of the spectrum—extended, transformative sessions that involve deeper preparation, energetic presence, and personalized intention. You won’t find these experiences offered this way anywhere else in the world.
Couples & Add-ons
In addition to our grounding one-on-one treatments, we also offer a few specialty experiences for couples—such as side-by-side massage and hands-on massage or intimacy workshops. These offerings are not only connective and nurturing, but also deeply memorable. They are quiet luxuries—rooted in trust, presence, and the same thoughtful approach that informs all our work.
Personalized add-ons—like the outdoor shower, private Zen sundeck, additional focused time on a specific area, cupping, foot care, or sound healing—can be included to deepen your session and bring an extra layer of sensory awakening. These enhancements allow you to further customize your experience in a way that feels entirely your own.
Lastly, we don’t charge more based on who’s providing the session. Virginia and I have complementary skills—some overlapping, some distinct—and we each offer only the treatments we are best suited to deliver. Regardless of who you work with, you’ll receive exceptional care and full presence every time.
