I was in town on a little birthday R&R weekend after going through some stressful family stuff the…read morelast few months and wanted to treat myself to a bit of a spa experience. I did a search on Yelp and saw the rave reviews for Bodies Kneaded and the playful marketing they had (very pro Miss Piggy and drag queens, tbh) and decided to reach out. They had a text number on their website so I sent a message from the airport waiting for my flight to start boarding and by the time I was in my seat I had booked 2.5 hours the next day for a massage and facial. Now, this is not a traditional spa experience. It's relaxing and artsy and not the minimalist aesthetic you find in a lot of places. But I loved that about it. I'm here for the treatments first and foremost and those were amazing. Stewart is great! The massage? One of the best I've ever had. Truly. Because of the family stuff I've been going through my back was a field of stress knots and he worked them all out. I mentioned needing a little extra work in spots and he complied and also eased up the pressure perfectly when I had a few more tender areas. I had the deluxe massage which also included gentle cupping (effecting but also didn't leave any marks) and hot stones. It was great! My winter Michigan skin was also a dry mess. Before this I had been so embarrassed to even put on any makeup because it just immediately started flaking. He used an oxygen facial tool which did a great job of exfoliating all those extremely dry spots, including one really red spot I had on my cheek for a few weeks. When I left my sensitive skin was definitely a little on the ruddy side but trust the process! Within 48 hours it was all gone and my skin tone was even and glowing. When I got back to Michigan I had a few dry spots return but he set me up with success and after a few days of using some of the recommended oils things mellowed out. I feel so much more confident about my skin now! Also, Stewart is a gem. So kind and was sending me great recommendations for the neighborhood even before I even stepped foot in Florida! He was so kind and attentive during the session and was open to chatting a bit but also gave me the space to relax and zone out a bit which I appreciated. The two treatments together were significantly less than I would have paid at my hotel spa as well. Very reasonably priced for Miami Beach for sure! Would absolutely return for another appointment if I'm in the area. Thanks, Stewart!!

They used their elbows and arms and even stretched your body. We did hear a guy moaning while we were getting our massage which was incredibly awkward and we both hoped we were hearing things and that the other didn't hear it but that was not the case. Maybe he just had a really good foot massage but who moans like *that* for a foot massage? Ewe. Personally our massages were excellent and the hardest pressure we've ever received which was painful at times but they continued to ask if the pressure was fine and we both kept saying yes! They found sore spots that both of us didn't know we had! It was fantastic.

Highly recommend booking with Healing Hands.

But please *be cautious * I will say if you do plan on going here to be careful of the neighborhood. I got a 1 hour massage. I parked right next to the building and while inside someone tried to break into my car by cracking my window in two spots. Luckily they didn't get in but after filing a police report, the officer did mention similar crimes have been happening in the area, specifically where I parked my car. Not to mention, when I parked originally, there was already broken glass and tints on the ground. I didn't think much of it because it was daylight (4pm) and right next to a busy road but that didn't stop whoever did it to attempt to get in. I had two punctures in my window that cracked and now I have to replace my window and tint. I did inform staff of what happened so I would hope they give a heads up to people who come in so they don't have to go through what I did!

I felt noticeably better after just one visit, and after the second session the pain in my hands and arms was completely gone (!).

I felt real, lasting relief, not just temporary relaxation. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with chronic tension or repetitive strain issues.

I've been getting massages my whole life... I have chronic back pain…read more I came to find Oleg, after having gone once to maybe a dozen massages in Miami. My best friend and I were having brunch and found a Groupon. And went. Reading the reviews commenting about the building and the location and such... it reminded me, that I too was skeptical and not very excited to go. I have completed forgotten these feelings... Oleg is a gifted massage therapist. He is a kind, intelligent and passionate person with true knowledge of the body and he is... most definitely the best massage I have ever had. He pays attention and knows what he is doing. It is... like some others have written a physical and therapeutic experience. It is not a zen, relaxing massage where you leave feeling you did not get yours moneys worth! It is amazing! I thank him every time I go. He does a complete 90 minutes of healing and stretching and pin pointing pain. I am surprised he has not asked me for a review. I have been going every two weeks for years now. And I am very saddened when my traveling schedule delays my appointments. I read the negative review. I am sorry to see it. As this man does not deserve this harsh review. This is why I decided to write this. Because hopefully by reading mine, it will counter weigh her dismissive words and criticism. Hopefully, you will read my praise and know that the building, location, or the fact that he requires a deposit or a sur charge if you cancel... means nothing when you get the very best massage you will ever have. I am very grateful that I went, that I go... and that Oleg has helped me throughout these years to manage my stress, pain and physical ailments.
