Clients ask me all the time "Why did you decide to become a Massage therapist?" I'd have to say it was that moment when I realized my chronic neck pain had diminished, through the help of a Massage therapist. She gently manipulated the muscles that were causing such havoc and I was amazed that this therapy didn't hurt at all. I wanted to help people with pain management, so I went on to enroll in Massage school, graduating in 2007.

Clients ask me all the time "Why did you decide to become a Massage therapist?" I'd have to say it was that moment when I realized my chronic neck pain had diminished, through the help of a Massage therapist. She gently manipulated the muscles that were causing such havoc and I was amazed that this therapy didn't hurt at all. I wanted to help people with pain management, so I went on to enroll in Massage school, graduating in 2007.

Most would say my technique is gentle, nurturing even. My first experience on a Massage table was proof that therapeutic work could be done with ease, causing no secondary pain the next day. My goal is simple: Decrease pain, increase relaxation. That said, I tend to blend relaxation with a therapeutic style so that the body isn't "guarded" during the session.

Another question I hear regularly is "Do you get massages also?" My answer to this is "Absolutely!" One of the greatest benefits in receiving massage from other therapists is experiencing the diversity that's out there in this field.  It makes for better therapists as well, because we tend to pick up little techniques along the way that translate into a better massage for you (the client). 

When I'm not giving (or receiving) massage, I'm checking out music concerts or catching a new tv series on Netflix. I could spend hours at Barnes & Noble, (although I'm slowly starting to dabble with ebooks as well.) Given the amount of technology available to us, I still carry around a calendar and make lists the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper. My favorite season would have to be Fall, with the change of colors on the leaves. I do have a cat, which I'm mentioning in case you are sensitive/allergic. (Try as I may to leave them behind, a stray cat hair manages to hike a ride on a sleeve or pant leg). surprised

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

I think I needed more deep tissue massage. But I believe Barb didn’t want to get too aggressive on my first visit.

Barb takes the time to ask me where my problem areas are and she will focus on those. I always leave my appointments feeling much better. 100% recommend Barb for pain relief massage.

I love Barb, she is amazing and does a great job at making you feel comfortable and relaxed. Her massages are great, I feel more relaxed and in less pain after. I will continue to go to Zendiggity in the future.

Barb is very professional and listens intently when you answers her questions. After the session, I was very relaxed and sleepy. Thanks for the massage Barb.
by Cheryl on Apr 26
Barb used her magic fingers to find, and massage, all my trouble spots. She made sure I was always comfortable, and we are going to work as a team to keep my migraines away. Her massage was a wonderful experience, and I immediately made an appointment to return!
