Nurturing energy for the body and spirit

Massage energy is not a one-way street.  I get back as much as I give, and find that giving massage is healing for me as well as my client.  With deep sensitivity and intuition I'll find your tight areas and release them with as little discomfort as possible to you.  My great physical strength and stamina allows me to work as deeply as needed on all types of bodies, including athletes.

Massage is a passion for me and I always want to learn more.  I am certified in 20 modalities, both western and eastern, and I specialize in deep work.  I take classes to learn new techniques whenever possible, and I have a thorough knowledge of the body and anatomy.  With over 4000 hours of experience and 1400 hours of training, I am a seasoned bodyworker, and I will help you release pain and tension and achieve a sense of well-being.

Bodywork

Lead Therapist at Heartworks BodySpa

I have over 1400 hours of training, and over 4000 hours of experience in massage. I was by far the busiest therapist at the spa; there was a 2 1/2 month wait to get an appointment with me. I'm very interested in learning more about massage and the body, and I take courses whenever possible. I also have assistant taught many classes at Healing Hands School.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Marcella on Jun 05
Excellent focussed massage for extremely tight muscles and knots due to walking with crutches from a recent hamstring strain injury. Barb’s intuition, precision and strength were able to relax the super hard areas and support healing at the injury site behind the knee. I highly recommend Barb and the services she provides me and my husband. Thank you!

Barbara is wonderful. Not only is she a skilled masseuse, she is very knowledgeable about the human body. She can always figure out what is going on with the muscles and ligaments. She is amazing and I am so glad that I found her!

I’m so thankful to have met you! I mentioned leg pain I was experiencing and I woke up today pain free. I also appreciate that you take the time to show me stretches that will help me mitigate the pain.
