"Massage therapy is one of the most meaningful things one person can do for another."
— Maria Evangelista, LMT
I'm Maria Evangelista — a licensed, nationally certified massage therapist and the heart behind Healing Hands Naples. I graduated from the Florida Academy of Massage & Skin Care in Fort Myers in 2011 and earned my national certification in therapeutic massage and bodywork in 2012. What began as a career became a calling: using skilled, intentional touch to genuinely improve people's lives.
My approach starts with listening. Before every session, I take the time to understand where you are — physically and emotionally — so I can craft an experience that truly addresses your needs. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic tension, or simply craving an hour of real restoration, I bring the same enthusiasm and care to every appointment.
At Healing Hands Naples, you won't find a transactional, assembly-line experience. You'll find a therapist who believes that massage therapy is one of the most meaningful things one person can do for another — and who holds honesty, respect, and excellence as non-negotiables in everything she does.
Browse the full menu of modalities — from Swedish relaxation to Traditional Chinese Cupping — and select the experience that matches your goals.
Schedule your appointment directly online or reach Maria at (239) 692-3783. Sessions are available Monday through Friday and Sunday, 9 AM to 8 PM.
Come to Suite #125 at 11983 Tamiami Trail N and step into a serene environment designed to begin the relaxation process the moment you walk in.
Maria will tailor the session in real time to your feedback and needs — applying the right pressure, technique, and intention throughout.
Walk out with reduced tension, improved circulation, and a renewed sense of well-being. Many clients book their next session before they leave.
Healing Hands is a boutique, one-therapist studio. You work directly with Maria Evangelista every visit — a nationally certified therapist who personalizes every session to your body and goals, not a rotating staff following a script.
Deep Tissue Massage or Traditional Chinese Cupping are excellent starting points for chronic pain and tension. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is ideal if you have swelling or are recovering post-surgery. Maria can also help you choose the right modality when you book.
Just arrive a few minutes early, wear comfortable clothing, and be ready to share any areas of concern or health conditions. The more Maria knows going in, the more she can tailor the session to you.
It's a gentle, specialized technique that stimulates lymph flow to reduce swelling, support the immune system, and accelerate detoxification. It's particularly beneficial for post-surgical recovery and for those dealing with fluid retention or inflammation.
Yes — cupping has been practiced for centuries and is safe when performed by a trained therapist. It creates a suction sensation that may feel unusual at first but is generally described as a deep, releasing pressure. Temporary marks on the skin are normal and typically fade within a few days.
