What is included, and how long should we book for a couple's massage in Brickell?

A couple's massage at Healing Hands in Brickell means two people receive their massages simultaneously in the same room, each with a dedicated licensed therapist. It is not a shared table or a sequential booking. Both people are treated at the same time, which makes it a genuinely shared experience rather than two separate appointments that happen to be scheduled back to back.

What is included in every session

Healing Hands builds its pricing to be all-inclusive. There are no upcharges for the enhancements that many other providers sell separately. Every couple's massage session includes:

• Hot stone therapy: Healing Hands uses flexible heat packs rather than traditional basalt stones. Each pack maintains a sustained temperature of 115 to 120°F for up to 20 minutes and glides smoothly over the back and neck, including bony areas where hard stones can feel uncomfortable. The result is the same deep warmth and relaxation associated with hot stone therapy, without the risk of burns from improperly heated stones.
• Aromatherapy: Included at no additional charge.
• Stretching: Incorporated into the session as needed, with no separate fee.
• Personalized pressure and modality: Each therapist tailors the session to that individual's needs. One partner can receive a Swedish massage focused on relaxation while the other receives deep tissue work for muscle tension. The two sessions run simultaneously but are fully independent in terms of technique and pressure.

All therapists at Healing Hands have a minimum of five years of professional experience and are licensed in accordance with Florida Department of Health requirements. Credentials are posted publicly. If you want to read more about what that means for the quality of your session, see Healing Hands' Licensed Therapist Credentials.

How long to book

Healing Hands offers sessions in standard increments. For a couple's massage, the most common booking lengths are 60 minutes and 90 minutes. Here is a practical guide to choosing:

Session Length	Best For
60 minutes	First-time visitors, lighter relaxation goals, or tighter schedules. A true 60-minute hour on the table, not a 50-minute session.
90 minutes	Deeper therapeutic work, full-body coverage for both partners, or when one or both people carry significant muscle tension.

If either partner wants focused deep tissue work on multiple areas, such as the back, shoulders, and legs, 90 minutes gives the therapist enough time to address all of them without rushing. For a relaxation-focused Swedish session, 60 minutes is typically sufficient. You can read more about what to expect from each modality in the Swedish massage guide and the deep tissue massage guide.

If you are unsure which length to choose, the Healing Hands team can help you decide based on your goals when you book.

Practical details before you arrive

• Location: The Brickell location is Healing Hands' main spa, opened in April 2017, and is the larger of the two Miami locations.
• Availability: Healing Hands is open 7 days a week.
• Gratuity: An 18% gratuity is standard and is added to the session price.
• Intake: Each therapist will briefly review the individual's areas of focus and any health considerations before the session begins. This is how the personalization is set up, so arriving a few minutes early is helpful.
• What to confirm at booking: Let the team know that you are booking a couple's massage so that a room with two tables and two therapists is reserved. Confirm your preferred modality for each person if you already know it.

Frequently asked questions

Do both people have to choose the same type of massage? No. Each therapist works independently, so one partner can receive a Swedish massage and the other can receive deep tissue or sports injury recovery massage. The session runs at the same time for both.

Is hot stone therapy really included, or is it an add-on? It is included in the session price with no upcharge. The same applies to aromatherapy and stretching.

Can we book a couple's massage if one of us has a specific injury or chronic pain? Yes. The therapist assigned to that person will tailor the session accordingly. Mention any injuries or conditions when you book so the right therapist can be paired with you.

Is a membership required to book a couple's massage? No. Healing Hands offers a membership option, but it is not required. You can book a couple's massage as a one-time session with no commitment.

How far in advance should we book? Couple's massages require two therapists to be available at the same time, so booking in advance is recommended, especially for weekends. Contact Healing Hands directly at healing-hands.us to check availability and reserve your time.
