"Very soon after I had bilateral knee replacement in August 2017 my wife suggested I start to see Barbara for lymphatic drainage treatments. As a physician I am probably a natural initial skeptic, but as my rehabilitation progressed there was no question that the regular treatments by Barbara dramatically reduced the swelling in my knees and significantly aided my recovery.The benefits were indisputable; for anyone who has had knee replacements they realize that there is a tremendous sense of tightness in the joint almost like an overinflated balloon when the inflammation is prominent. After these sessions with Barbara, it felt like much of this pressure had been relieved. I am less than a year out for my surgery knee replacements and am already back out on the golf course. I would strongly recommend that lymphatic drainage be part of any rehabilitation program for knee replacement and likely any surgery that results in swelling. Thank you Barbara."

"After 25 years working at a computer and with stress settling in my neck and shoulders, I have to manage chronic neck pain. Barbara is an essential part of that process. I work with her monthly and after each session, the pain is relieved and I feel like a new person. I describe the location of the pain, and Barbara knows exactly how to resolve it. She performs miracles!"

"About 5 years ago, massage therapy was recommended to me as part of a care plan for severe low back pain that had required pain meds, epidural injections and still left me with pain that made every day chores and especially driving so painful that I’d pull into the driveway in tears. I tried several different providers, and they were good, but the pain would return almost as soon as the massage was over. Eventually I turned to minimally invasive surgery, which initially made a huge difference. Fast forward a year, And bit by bit the symptoms returned.
One random day, I had a flare up of pain and desperately need a massage. I’m an emergency medicine physician and staying off my feet, taking meds that make me loopy or taking a lot of time off work was not an option. Quite by chance, I got paired up with Barb for the first time for a massage . Although I had already filled out forms about my history and symptoms, she went on to ask me many more questions. She even made me take off my shoes and show her the bottoms of them, so she could understand the weird way I was walking to compensate for the pain. That first 60 minute massage hooked me for good! She not only massaged my back, but many other joints and triggerpoints that made a huge difference in the pain. And the relief lasted days, not hours. That was three years ago. I religiously see her at least twice a month, more if I need to. She can pretty much tell what’s bothering me even if I don’t say a word. I continue to work in the ER, but also travel quite a bit and have added some neck and hip problems to the list along the way, but after a session with Barb, my entire body, from head to toe, feels relaxed, comfortable and peaceful. There is something extra that Barb has that makes sessions with her truly healing, from the inside out. "

"I work with Barbara. She is without a doubt the most remarkably skilled and intuitive massage therapist I have ever had administer to this old body. I am a senior and I have issues from a youth of activity and adventure (don't give it up). Barbara is amazing. She knows each and every wince and explains it to me so that I am left with an understanding and then she gently and skillfully fixes it! Yay! The most valuable benefit is that she leaves me believing in the power of my body and I don't feel old or decrepit and I sleep like a teenager."
