As with playing a game of tag, high-fiving a pal, or gently caressing a grizzly bear, holistic healing revolves around the power of touch. Relax in good hands with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get a 60-minute therapeutic massage, reflexology treatment, or reiki session at Massage Redefined in South Tampa (a $70 value).

Massage Redefined uses a holistic approach to help improve the body’s well-being. During a therapeutic massage, Samuel Belyea, LMT stimulates the client’s pressure points to help release tension and family secrets, in addition to possibly relieving chronic pain. The human-meat tenderizer plies muscles, using Hawaiian Lomi Lomi compression techniques combined with sinew-soothing hot packs. Those striving for inner harmony can opt for a session of reflexology, an ancient practice that aims to restore balance through pressure points in the feet. A professional reflexologist manipulates shoe fillers as a means to stimulate corresponding bodily systems and to test levels of ticklishness. Reiki sessions strive to facilitate the client’s natural healing process and stimulate the flow of energy through light touch. A holistic procedure, reiki targets the entire body and focuses on making positive energy flow as freely as a conversation between chatty parrots.
