Touch is a language - learn to make a deeper connection and to communicate without words.

Intimacy Workshops

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 4 hrs hrs. but can be customized to your needs.

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 have 2 goals:
1. to help couples connect or reconnect through verbal, non verbal and touch exploration exercises.  These exercises are designed to create new connections, and give each partner the opportunity to discover new things about their significant other as well as come back to the things that had them falling in love initially. 
2. Introduction into communication through touch - for couples who want to learn more sensual, intimate or erotic touch than they might be comfortable learning in a traditional workshop. Each session is unique and designed specifically for each couple.

Some couples prefer to participate in a private Therapeutic Massage Workshop or schedule a massage with me before participating in an Intimate Touch Workshop.  For some this helps us get to know each other better as well as gives you both a good foundation in the massage techniques that we will build on. However it is not necessary. Many couples opt for the Intimate Touch Workshop straight away and many of both schedule a followup workshop or massage treatment.

So what exactly is an Intimate Touch Workshop? 
The answer actually depend mostly on you and what you want it to be, as each session is completely designed around you and your partner.

Intimate Touch Workshops are designed to create a greater level of intimacy through the connection of touch, reinforced with verbal and nonverbal communication exercises.  They are designed to help you experience new ways to connect, to give and to receive pleasure through touch.  This fosters deeper levels of intimacy, connection and emotional awareness.  Through the vehicle of Massage, there is a giver and a receiver to each are able to fully and selfishly enjoy these different roles.  They are also designed to allow you to both elicit and experience different levels of awareness of your own bodies and desire.

Starting with some basic verbal and non-verbal communication exercises, I can help you both understand how to communicate different types of emotions, feelings, needs and desires through your touch.  We break through blocks that are impacting your ability to achieve greater intimacy.  This work can be done on a very comfortable floor mat and begins with both partners fully clothed.  Following the floor exercises we do a deep dive into touch.  Learn more about how your partner likes to be touched in different situations and emotional states. Learn more about how your partner interprets different kinds of touch and what their responses to your touch actually mean.  Learn more about what your partner is trying to communicate to you through their touch and their responses to your touch. Learn how to melt completely into your partner with special holds, embraces and partner breathing exercises. 

If  you so choose, the workshop time can be focused specifically on making your massage sessions more powerful. You will learn how to help your partner reach a state of complete relaxation, bliss and surrender; where they can experience a heightened sense of pleasure.  You will learn how to work with both the conscious and unconscious breath to create different states of arousal and awareness for both you and your partner. Every part of the human body can be an erogenous zone. You will learn how to touch and massage your partner in the ways that they most want to be touched.

And anything in between - it is up to you and your comfort level.

We establish mutual objectives and boundaries so that everyone knows exactly what is expected and not expected. I create a space where you feel safe secure and comforted.

Who Should Take This Workshop?

​I get asked this question a lot.  Who should take this workshop? 

In the beginning it was that couples who have lost their bond, and have drifted apart in some ways found their way here. Often longer term marriages, older couples. But then I started to see younger couples, some of who are just too busy raising a family, working, to make time for each other.  And believe it or not, new couples!  Yes, Couples in newly formed relationships that want to do things better, spice things up.  So maybe you have fallen out of romantic love, maybe things are stale, maybe you are both just busy, or maybe things are GREAT but you would like to add a bit of spice or learn better ways to connect with your partner.  If you see yourself in here somewhere then this workshop is for you.

AND maybe you have a situation that I didn't mention and I would love to hear it.  Let me know and I will add it as it may help others!

Hear What Others Say

  • 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.

  • The 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!

  • ​What a weird and wonderful experience!  Edward was very accommodating and created a calm and accepting environment in a situation that could otherwise feel very awkward. Edward was a professional through and through. The workshop allowed me and my partner to try things we would be too uncomfortable to try on our own and Edward’s guidance was just what we needed to get past our own nervousness and figure out how to make our intimate lives more fulfilling.

  • 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 !

  • My 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.

    What a wonderful workshop! My husband and I learned ways to reconnect which is quite amazing after being together for 33 years. I think the blindfold was an excellent idea as you had to be most dependent on your sense of touch. Your total focus becomes your partners body. It was wonderful!!   Another very good exercise was just staring into you loved ones eyes and really connecting with them before your massage begins. It was a relearning of where to put your focus. I was researching fun date night activities on Google and this popped up. I am thankful I found this.

    I highly recommend the class.

  • Edward 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. :)

  • My wife and I experienced a melt workshop together to learn massage skills - with some intimacy aspects added in. Edward was very professional and helped us both learn some amazing techniques - and how to be more attuned to what we each wanted. The environment and mood for the workshop was spot on and it turned out to be a very fun day date for us as a couple, with the added bonus of us learning some skills that we are very excited to practice at home together. Highly recommend.
