About Us
Massage is my calling, and the most fulfilling and gratifying job I can imagine. What sets me apart from other therapists is my keen intuition, extreme strength and stamina, and knowledge of the body and anatomy. I will find areas of tightness and sore spots that you didn't know you had, and I will release the tension with a minimum of discomfort.
I am certified in 18 different modalities of massage, bodywork and energy healing, and I go back to school to learn more whenever possible. I have given over 4000 massages, and that experience has immensely broadened my expertise and deepened my intuition.

Barbara is the BEST in her field. She is very knowledgable about the body. I drive 30 minutes to her place because she is that valuable to me. I used to see a chiropractor and a physical therapist but, Barbara's massages have helped me the most. She often shares very helpful tips on stretches and exercise I can do at home. It's like benefitting from a PT session and an excellent massage in one visit. She is truly special!

I had a big bruise and couple of small ones on my back after massage. Didn't see any improvement of sciatica and even worse: next day I have more pain during night then before massage
Business response:
So sorry to hear that! I have always had great success treating sciatica in the past. I really wanted to help you! Arnica will help with the bruises. The massage may have caused some inflammation; that is normal. That may be what caused the pain. You can apply a cold pack or ice to the sore area for 20-30 minutes a few times a day to help reduce inflammation. When the inflammation has cleared, you should feel better than before the massage, I hope!!

Barbara gives an amazing massage. She is very professional, checking with me about temperature levels and making sure that I had water upon leaving. She can tell where I am most in need of work and she is able to soothe the knots. The ambiance is so relaxing that I may have even dozed off once or twice.

One of the best massage therapists I have had during my life - I am over 50 years and get massages frequently. If I have a knot somewhere in the body Barbara finds it and with various techniques she releases them. Too bad there isn't a 10 star rating.

Some people might feel awkward stripping down and climbing onto the massage table and getting up naked while the massage therapist is in the room.
Business response:
I"m so sorry you felt uncomfortable. I'd be happy to step outside next time, please just ask. No one has ever told me they felt uncomfortable before, as I face the other way, and you undress behind a curtain. I hope you enjoyed the massage!

Barbara reviews the 1st time questionnaire and pays attention to areas the client is concerned about. She found several places I didn't realize were tight or knotted and worked on those to loosen them. Had insight as to what could be causing my problem areas which really made sense and gave me some ideas on simple but effective ways I can help myself at home. I've already made my 2nd appointment and I know I'll benefit greatly. Barbara really gives a great therapeutic massage!
