About Healing Hands Massage & Bodywork
Why is Healing Hands special?
We are a small, professional practice in Charleston, SC of massage therapists, Reiki practitioners, and an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner. All of our massage therapists have a minimum of a year's experience working on all types of bodies. By request, you can see the same therapist each time. Over time, your therapist will get better and better at identifying and relieving your problem areas, remembering where you need extra attention. Since the owner is a massage therapist, she understands the importance of the therapists being happy in their environment, which will in turn provide you with the best, personalized massage and customer service.
Our rates are competitive, and if you want to make massage a lifestyle, we offer discount packages to make it easier to fit into your budget. Our studio is in West Ashley on Highway 61 in the Pierpont area, convenient to 526 and the historic gardens. We also provide outcalls for women, couples, and events all around the Charleston area.
We have quality services offered by other area spas, including aromatherapy, salt scrubs and body wraps, but at lower rates and with all natural, customized ingredients. We are also one of the few area massage studios to accommodate couples massage in the same room. Are you looking to try something new and different? Then ask about incorporating Reiki, shiatsu, or qi-gong into your session. Short on time? Then try a chair massage for your back, neck, and shoulders.
Our practitioners are caring and thorough, and are here to listen to and meet your needs. Please let us know how we may best serve you.
But Some Massage Studios Are Cheaper! (Or are they?)
Discount massage businesses have their place in this tough economy, making massage more accessible, but you must remember the old adage, "you get what you pay for". Your "one hour" massage with them actually only includes a 45-50 minute massage. With them, you are on the clock from the moment you start talking with your therapist, until the time you exit the room. Their therapists are often fresh out of school, and are booked back-to-back with few breaks. Even if they are wonderful, they often do not have the time or energy to give you the attention you deserve in their rushed, clinical environment.
At Healing Hands, we treat our clients and our therapists right. The time you pay for is the time you receive on the table. If you book a one hour massage with us, you receive a full hour of massage. Your therapist receives the time she needs between massages to rest and recover. You also have the opportunity to schedule with the same therapist each time, as we have a virtually non-existent turnover rate. As your massage therapist learns more about your specific needs, your massage becomes just that - your perfect massage, tailored to you and you alone.
A Different Approach
At Healing Hands Massage & Bodywork, we take a different approach to massage. We are not trying to "turn and burn" here. We do not overbook and wear our massage therapists out before they even get to you. We genuinely have an interest in your health and well be-ing, and that of our staff. We are always learning new modalities and techniques to help you feel better. Our philosophy is that regular massage and other forms of stress relief are vital to everyone's health in today's hectic society.
Stress causes or contributes to virtually all health problems, while massage is proven to reduce stress, as well as reducing pain, fatigue, depression, and anxiety. More and more doctors prescribe massage as part of a healing or preventative regimen. We believe that massage and bodywork are valuable tools in improving your overall well be-ing.
We are also always on the search for other methods that may be helpful for you. In the past year, we have added fertility massage to our services, and two more of our therapists have become Reiki Practitioners. The owner of Healing Hands, Rachel Hazelwood, teaches Reiki Workshops and provides free Reiki Shares to help you learn to heal yourself. She has also been practicing EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for several years, and has researched the benefits and overall effects of this form of bodywork. She has received additional training in EFT and offers it now as a regular service in the studio and by phone.
