"I have been seeing Barbara for almost 2 years. I had recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I also have moderated osteoarthritis. My energy, stiffness and level of pain were preventing me from doing the things I love as well as affecting my job.
Barbara immediately was able to relieve most of my pain in my neck and shoulders. Over time my energy level and stiffness also improved.
Barbara uses both Swedish-deep tissue massage and lymphatic message with me. The later really helps with my energy level.
Barbara is intuitive, highly educated massage therapist. My quality of life has improved so much since I've been seeing her. Last but not least, Barbara is kind, sweet, funny. Thank you Barbara for being part of my life️!"

"Love, love Barb! I get monthly therapeutic massages for maintenance but have recently after an elective surgery received lymphatic massages which has been such an important part of my recovery. It has been a lifesaver. Barb is so knowledgeable in this area and works with you to get to a place of better health. I feel so incredible after my massage I don't want to leave the table."

"I had PS surgery and desperately needed Lymph drainage/massage and this is a hard find in my area. Well low and behold, I found Barbara and she was a God sent and nursed me back to health. She has eventually become a confidant and I now call my visits to her my happy place. What I like most about her is she's extremely knowledgeable from a medical prospective and knows exactly how to assist me when I come to visit. I certainly recommend her to anyone."

"I went to see Barbara while I had a severe sinus infection and was on a second round of antibiotics. The antibiotics were not working and I was referred to Barbara by a friend who was getting lymphatic drainage treatments and they were helping her. During the lymphatic treatment session I could feel my sinuses start to drain. I left and could actually see an improvement in the swelling in my face. After two more treatments the infection went away and I really attribute i t to the lymphatic treatments that Barbara performed. I am so happy that I did not have to go on a stronger antibiotic and I finally got better. I have two small children and I was getting sick from everything that they were bringing home. I am now seeing Barbara for monthly treatments to help keep my lymphatic system working properly, which keeps my immune system strong. I am so grateful to Barbara and happy that I found someone so caring and dedicated to help keeping me healthy!"

"After recovering from abdominal surgery I realized my immune system completely depleted. Barbara was recommended to me for lymphatic drainage. She was able to help me feel strong and healthy again. I have continued to see her on a monthly basis and feel so much better because of it. Barbara is comforting, receptive and very intuitive.
Recently my 9 year old daughter has started to see Barbara. She suffers from chronic sinusitis. In a few minutes Barbara is able to relieve her pain and pressure all the while making her feel completely comfortable and at ease. "

"Barbara has eliminated the lymphatic congestion in my neck area. I didn't get sick once this winter and the pressure in my neck and head are gone. I just received my follow up thermography report, and my neck area looks great. She is such a warm person and I highly recommend her lymphatic drainage massage."

"My 17 year old son had a severe ankle sprain and after 6 weeks the area was still swollen. His doctor recommended lymphatic massage to rid the ankle of "congestion". After his 1st session with Barbara the swelling and area heat were both greatly reduced. He immediately felt better. Barbara made him extremely comfortable and explained the healing process. We would highly recommend Barbara and this type of massage to aid the healing of injuries especially for athletes."

"I was looking all around for a therapist who knew how to perform breast lymphatic drainage massage. I found only 2 in my area and decided to try Barbara Leitner. Boy did I make a great choice. She is wonderful, sweet and professional. I was very pleased with her knowledge on the lymph system and the benefits of lymphatic drainage massage."

"I've had pain and swelling in my face for 3 years and after seeing 11 doctors and having all sorts of tests I was told my parotid glands were clogged, so while waiting to see a parotid gland disease specialist I scheduled a lymphatic drainage massage at Main Street with Barbara, It was amazing. She thoroughly explained what the lymphatic system does and what would happen and things I might feel during the massage. Having had swelling in my face for so long, I consistently snap a photo to distinguish when it goes up and down, and after my massage the swelling was gone. (this has never happened before) and the pain seriously subsided. I can't recommend Barbara enough. She was so kind and thorough and wise and worked serious magic on my body! Thank You!"
