Massage and facial spa in Brickell Miami
Healing Hands is a licensed therapeutic massage and facial spa located in Brickell, Miami's financial district. The practice offers a full menu of massage modalities alongside a curated selection of facial treatments, all delivered by licensed massage therapists and estheticians with a minimum of five years of experience. Whether you are managing chronic back pain, recovering from athletic training, or looking to restore your skin after time in the South Florida sun, Healing Hands is designed to address specific goals rather than deliver a generic session.
The Brickell location opened in April 2017 and is open 7 days a week. A second, smaller location operates inside the National Hotel in Miami Beach, opened in January 2024, also open 7 days a week.
Massage Services at the Brickell Location
Healing Hands offers five core massage modalities, each tailored to the client's needs during the session:
- Swedish massage: A full-body relaxation massage using long, flowing strokes to reduce tension and promote circulation.
- Deep tissue massage: Targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Clients may experience mild discomfort during treatment, which is normal and typically followed by significant relief.
- Hot stone therapy: Uses flexible, reusable heat packs rather than traditional basalt stones. Each pack maintains a sustained internal temperature of 115 to 120°F for up to 20 minutes. Because the packs are made of flexible vinyl rather than hard stone, they glide smoothly over bony areas of the back and neck without the discomfort or burn risk associated with improperly heated stones. The result is consistent, even warmth throughout the session.
- Sports injury recovery massage: Focused work for athletes and active adults dealing with overuse injuries, muscle tightness, or post-event soreness.
- Aromatherapy massage: Incorporates essential oils to enhance relaxation and support the therapeutic goals of the session.
Hot stones, aromatherapy, and stretching are included with no upcharge. There are no add-on fees for these enhancements.

Facial Services at the Brickell Location
Healing Hands offers six facial treatments performed by licensed estheticians. Each facial is designed for a specific skin concern or occasion:
| Facial | Duration | Extractions |
|---|---|---|
| Sun-Sational Express Facial | 45 minutes | No |
| Glow-Boosting Deep Cleansing Facial | 60 minutes | Yes |
| Cleansing Back Facial | 60 minutes | Yes |
| Youthful Lifting Facial | 75 minutes | Yes |
| HydraFacial Bliss | 75 minutes | Yes |
| Advanced Luminous Facial | 90 minutes | Yes |
The Sun-Sational Express Facial (45 minutes) includes a deep cleanse, nourishing masque, sunscreen-infused moisturizer, and a facial massage. It is designed to restore radiance after sun exposure without extractions, making it a good fit for clients who have recently spent time outdoors.
The Glow-Boosting Deep Cleansing Facial (60 minutes) includes extractions and provides a thorough deep pore cleanse for congested or dull skin.
The Cleansing Back Facial (60 minutes) targets congestion, body acne, and buildup on the back. It includes extractions.
The Youthful Lifting Facial (75 minutes) builds on the Glow-Boosting Deep Cleansing Facial with additional lifting and firming steps. It includes extractions.
The HydraFacial Bliss (75 minutes) is a multi-step resurfacing and hydration treatment. It includes extractions and is one of the most commonly requested facial formats for clients seeking visible skin renewal without significant downtime.
The Advanced Luminous Facial (90 minutes) extends the Youthful Lifting Facial with advanced brightening and renewal steps. It includes extractions and is the most comprehensive facial on the menu.
For any facial that includes extractions, allow several days after significant sun exposure before booking. Freshly sun-exposed skin is more sensitive, and extractions can cause irritation when performed on skin that has not had time to recover.

Booking a Massage and Facial Together
Many clients book a massage and a facial in the same visit. When doing so, book the massage before the facial. Massage increases circulation and promotes relaxation throughout the body, which prepares the skin for facial treatment. Reversing the order can leave the skin flushed or reactive before the esthetician begins work.
After your session, drink water, avoid heavy sun exposure, and give your skin time to settle before applying makeup or active skincare products.
Practitioner Credentials
All massage therapists and estheticians at Healing Hands hold active Florida licenses and carry a minimum of five years of professional experience. Therapist credentials are posted publicly in accordance with the Florida Department of Health. Sessions are tailored to each client's goals, and the intake process at the start of each visit allows the practitioner to adjust pressure, focus areas, and technique accordingly.
Healing Hands earned the Gold Medal in the Miami-Dade Favorites 2025 contest in the Best Massage category, and the Silver Medal in 2024.
