Additional information on Retreats, Workshops & Intensivs
Couples Intensivs are perfect for couples that:
What happens at an Intensiv?
I do not use a set template for intensivs. The content will be designed based on your unique needs as a couple and focus on whatever is most important to you.
You are a good candidate for an intensiv if:
Either or both partners are struggling with the following concerns:
Intensives are commonly scheduled for 1-3 consecutive days for 1 or 2 sessions of 2-3 hours per day. Length of sessions are shortened/lengthened depending on the couples specific needs.
The intensivs and retreats are designed to allow plenty of time between sessions for rest and re-connection. There is ample unstructured time to let the coaching sink in and give you a chance to spend the rest of the time experiencing each other in a new way.
How much does an intensive cost?
Please contact me for rates. Additional fees apply for weekends, in-person, and location-specific Intensivs.
Retreats & Intensivs are paid for in advance and are not refunded, but may be rescheduled with 30 days notice; subject to travel expenses already incurred.
- Want to accelerate their coaching by pre-loading and packaging the assessment and gathering sessions so that "the work" can begin in one intensive period.
- Don’t have the time/availability to commit to weekly coaching.
- Want to get a lot of work accomplished in a relatively short period of time.
- Are highly motivated to work on their relationship and eager to get started.
- Don't have access to a specialist in their local area.
What happens at an Intensiv?
I do not use a set template for intensivs. The content will be designed based on your unique needs as a couple and focus on whatever is most important to you.
You are a good candidate for an intensiv if:
- You are interested in learning more about yourself and your relationship.
- You are motivated to gain new skills and learn new tools that you can begin using immediately.
- You love each other and are invested in figuring out how to have the best relationship and life together.
Either or both partners are struggling with the following concerns:
- Major issues with drugs/alcohol.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (untreated).
- History of intimate partner violence.
- Psychiatric illness (e.g., schizophrenia).
- If there is an undisclosed, current affair.
- If you and your partner do not have the same goals for therapy (e.g., one partner wants to work on the relationship and the other partner does not).
- You are in the midst of crisis and being in the same room for an extended period of time is too triggering (e.g., unable to be civil with one another).
Intensives are commonly scheduled for 1-3 consecutive days for 1 or 2 sessions of 2-3 hours per day. Length of sessions are shortened/lengthened depending on the couples specific needs.

★★★★★ - 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 stars We 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 stars 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. :)

★★★★★ - 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.

★★★★★ - 5 stars 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!

★★★★★ - 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 !

★★★★★ 5 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.

★★★★★ 5 stars My 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!
