Your body works hard.. Be nice to it..

I always had a sense that human touch could be healing.  My interest in massage dates back to over a decade when I discovered the benefits as an avid runner.  The help it provided  with my sore and tense muscles opened my eyes to not only a new world of healing but of opportunity to help others as well. When I would receive a massage, I always walked away rejuvenated and often times even encouraged by my therapist. I thought that it would be a great thing if I could provide this for others.  ...

I always had a sense that human touch could be healing.  My interest in massage dates back to over a decade when I discovered the benefits as an avid runner.  The help it provided  with my sore and tense muscles opened my eyes to not only a new world of healing but of opportunity to help others as well. When I would receive a massage, I always walked away rejuvenated and often times even encouraged by my therapist. I thought that it would be a great thing if I could provide this for others.  After some research, I began to discover the world of massage therapy and its countless benefits.  In school. I quickly fell in love with the learning and thought of blessings others.   
    When my beautiful wife Christine was diagnosed with breast cancer, I knew this journey would be a challenge for her, but I also knew she would not walk it alone.  I wanted to help her through this any way I could.  One thing I felt could aide in her comfort and relaxation was massage.  There were techniques and strategies that needed to be employed not only to bring her comfort, but help her on her path of healing as well. It was a difficult season for her, myself and our 8 children but together we got through it.  She is now cancer free and we consider ourselves blessed.  Massage is so much more than just a feel good luxury.   yes, it is a way for a person to escape for a bit but it also is a way for a person to do something extremely beneficial for themselves that will aide in their overall health, well being and even their healing.

REVIEWS for my massage services

by Marie on Jun 02
I just completed my 3rd massage with John Bradford at “With Healing Hands”. Each massage has been an exceptional experience of healing and renewal! John approaches massage with a perfect blend of talent, skill and intuition to individualize each session to meet my needs. He is also extremely compassionate and listened carefully to me about my physical concerns. As a result, I feel entirely safe and in good hands with him. This has allowed me to relax fully, get the maximum healing benefit and leave each session feeling rejuvenated! I highly recommend John Bradford and “With Healing Hands”

From the moment you walk through the door, John is 100% focused on your needs. The message room is very warm and helps your muscles relax along with music and water falls. His technique is on target.

My massage was an extremely pleasurable experience. John was able to relax some tensions in my back, and I felt like 1 million when I left the studio. I will be back. Strongly recommend!

In a beautiful space I received an excellent massage. John worked on problem areas (shoulders) with skill and used a sensitive touch to make this a therapeutic and relaxing hour.

John is a skilled and professional massage therapist who performed an excellent 120 minute deep tissue. His studio is spacious and well-appointed. Will definitely return when in Sarasota.

From the beautiful essential oil smell when I first walk in the door, to the quiet, warm, inviting atmosphere to the most nurturing massage I could receive , John, With Healing Hands truly is just that.

This was the best massage I have ever had. He is serious, gentle and very effective at trouble spots. I've gone twice in the last week!

Couldn't recommend anyone better! I have been to massage therapists in the past with minimal results. John really listens and is tuned in to what your needs are. His whole being, is about the well-being of all of his clients!
