Healing Hands Therapeutic Massage

Massage Therapist

It was 2008, and America was in the depths of the Great Recession.

Healing Hands founder Anastasia Yecke Gude found herself wondering what to do with her life at the ripe old age of 32. Her career in advertising had ended with the sale of the company she had worked at since 2002. Should she look for a similar job or forge a new path?

During her time of unemployment, Anastasia noticed how much less tension she carried in her body. Fewer hours hunched over a computer resulted in a significant loosening of the muscles in her back. She did some soul-searching and realized that she derived infinitely more satisfaction out of helping others than selling advertising…

Fast-forward to 2010 and Anastasia graduated from Educating Hands School of Massage as a Licensed Massage Therapist. She founded Healing Hands and over the next several years, her company’s mission evolved from not only providing quality, customized massage therapy sessions to her clients, but also to assisting employees in finding ways to feel better on the job – because a less-stressed employee is a happier and more productive employee!

    It was an absolutely amazing experience that happened to me at Healing Hands . Anastasia is super nice and friendly . She really , and I mean REALLY , loves what she does. She takes the time to explain what it's next after assessing your needs and she has strong hands for the deep-tissue massage. But , at the same time she is very sweet and can talk to you throughout the whole session which just was great for me. Just for the record, Anastasia will respect your privacy in case you wish to enjoy your session quietly . I must point out that Anastasia is fully bilingual ( English and Spanish ) which is a great asset when your are in South Florida . I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone who will take excellent care of you . Thank you so much for everything Anastasia

    I was in Miami last week for work and my birthday, so I decided to treat myself to a massage. What a treat it was indeed!! Anastasia explained everything, asked questions and we discussed what I was looking for and she simply delivered! Healing hands really perfectly describes my experience! It was hands down one of the best massages I've ever had and I when it was over I was completely relaxed and feeling awesome. I wish she were a local business where I live because this would be one of my regularly scheduled appointments for my me time!

    I scheduled a surprise massage for my boyfriend and we were both very impressed with Anastasia! She makes sure to explain everything that she's doing and even interviews the client before massaging to make sure that she's massaging in a way that best serves them. I told her it was for his birthday and she even threw in heated massage! My boyfriend didn't initially want to go because he doesn't like others touching him but even he loved it. He says he felt a lot more energy afterwards. And she even texted us after to check how he was feeling. She's really very professional and kind. ...

    Just wanted to follow up on my prior feedback. I recently gifted a chair massage to my co-workers again! Anastasia was as fabulous as usual! Amazing experience. My co-workers are still raving! I can't wait to book my next session.

    ... Anastasia is hands down the best I've had. Not only is her technique exceptional and made me walk out thinking, oh my god, this woman just fixed me, she's also the most caring and charismatic masseuse I've seen, genuinely interested in healing you. Also, she sends you a cute thank you card by mail with a guide for stretching at work. The figures have The Office heads cropped on.

    I will certainly never go to anyone else while I'm around here.
