"Barbara listens and then responds with a massage tailored to your needs. From a low back sprain injury massage to post op massages, Barbara can do it all and also explains exactly what she's going to do and why. The hot stone massage is one of my favorites especially in the winter. I highly recommend Barbara, I won't see anyone else."

"I started seeing Barbara for MLD less than one week after I had liposuction completed. I was nervous thinking it would be a painful experience but Barbara made it incredibly easy and relaxing! Thanks to her experience, I’ve not had any complications and I’m now 4 weeks post op! I’m so happy I found her!"

~ M Kach (April 30, 2022)

"My experience with Barbara was like no other. I have autoimmune issues for 10 years that I never got much relief from. Then I got diagnosed with Cancer. I had one appointment with Barbara and I could immediately see I was in the right hands. She not only gave me some relief to my symptoms but her magic hands and knowledge now give me hope that I can heal. I will forever be grateful! Looking forward to future appointments to see even more improvement.
Thank you Barbara for doing what you do! You're amazing!"

~ Patricia S (April 11, 2022)

"I had been hearing such amazing things about MLD massage I decided I needed to see what all the hype was about. Barbara not only had the most amazing energy the second I met her but the massage was like nothing I had experienced before. Pure bliss. The results are immediate and I’m absolutely obsessed! I scheduled another one a week after my first and now I’ll be keeping up with monthly MLD with Barbara! I’m so excited to incorporate this incredibly practice in my life and so thankful that I met Barbara!"

~ Samantha S (February 6, 2022)

"I'm not sure what Barbara does to me! She tailors the treatment to whatever and wherever I need. I had occipital neuralgia and NOTHING GOT RID OF THE PAIN!! Barbara knew just what to do, combining several modalities, the pain was relieved to the point I couldn't even find the words to express my relief, so I found myself crying!
She "reads" your mood and bases her conversation, or lack of, to fit!
I could give so many instances of her magic hands making me "human" again!
I hope she is in practice for many years to come!
She always offers a clean, quiet, comfortable place for me to relax and forget the whole outside world!! Thank you Saint Barbara!"

~ Dottie D (February 6, 2022)

"I’ve been getting the most wonderful hot stone and bamboo massages from Barbara for years now, and every session always reminds me why she’s not just an amazing masseuse but one of the most wonderful, compassionate, kind-hearted souls I’ve met. Besides incredible massages our sessions are always filled with life conversations which I must say make the sessions even more healing. People like Barbara come around once in a lifetime and I’m so glad she shares her excellent massage therapy skills with all of us."

~ Jessica P (February 6, 2022)

"I am in my third trimester of pregnancy and have recently been struggling with sciatic pain. Barbara accommodated me very timely to help ease my pain. The massage was fantastic and she explained different techniques to sleep to help me manage the sciatic pain. I am so thankful for her time and knowledge and service and will most definitely be using her again in the future!"

~ Jessica S (January 3, 2022)

"Barbara created a calm, peaceful, and inviting environment for complete and utter relaxation! I was able to destress, and unwind from anything and everything that is currently going on in my life. I believe she has quite a gift, and that is making people feel beautiful in their own skin! Will for sure be coming back ASAP!"

~ Taylor N (January 2, 2022)

"I just received my first Sanctuary therapeutic massage from Barbara and I can’t wait until my next one! Barbara pays such close attention to what my body needs. It’s quite amazing how intuitive she actually is. I have never experienced a more enjoyable massage! I was really impressed with the professional spa like experience from the mood setting lighting and candles to the beautiful bathroom where a cozy robe and slippers were waiting for me. Then to the warm massage table under the moonlit sky where Barbara made sure I was completely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire massage. What an amazing experience!!"

~ Madeline K (October 27, 2021)

"Barbara is the real deal. Her intuition, knowledge, and gentle, healing touch are just unparalleled. I went in for a lymphatic drainage massage and was given a truly relaxing experience. I left feeling like a new person. Thank you!! I can not recommend Barbara enough."

~ Melanie G (September 15, 2021)

"Hands like an Angel! That’s Barbara. She is the gentlest, most considerate massage therapist I have ever been to. Even her voice is soothing. I have hypertension and when I leave Barbara I feel like my pressure is so much lower. I personally feel she has a healing touch. Worth every penny."

~ Soli R (September 4, 2021)

"I was referred to Barbara after my recent elective surgery. I have started a series of MLD sessions with her twice a week. This was the best referral and decision I have made!!! I am extremely happy with the results. My body feels so much better in terms of sensitivity and I am moving around much faster than I was before I started visiting Barbara. If you have trouble sleeping, she is the perfect person to visit for a great power nap as you will fall asleep while she works to improve your healing process."

~ Bridget J (July 15, 2021)

"After having surgery I desperately needed Lymphatic Draining massages. I found Barbara and made an appt. I was very skeptical at first but once she started I could instantly feel that it was helping. I was no longer feeling stiff and like a huge sponge. I call Barbara a Lymphatic Draining Yoda because she knows everything about it and can pinpoint my issue areas without me saying anything. I highly recommend, she has played an important part in my recovery and I am so thankful."

~ Mary D (June 24, 2021)

"Awesome lesson in CPR!
Barbara taught my daughter and myself CPR and I am fully comfortable In our ability to administer CPR.
10 out of 10 !"

~ Mike H (June 10, 2021)

"Barb is an excellent teacher. She is very warm, friendly and engaging. She was extremely helpful and caring when correcting any mistakes her students were making. She actually made learning CPR fun! I would highly recommend taking a class from her."

~ Kelly S (June 7, 2021)

"OMG I absolutely love Barbara!!! I’ve recently had a BBL and Lipo 360. I had been looking all over for a post op massage therapist to really help me throughout my recovery. I was coming from a place when my lymphatic drainage massages would be so painful that I would take Tylenol before my massages and a lot of the times their would be tears . Boy I am so glad I came across Barbara! Not only are her hands like butter, but she really goes at a pace where you’re leaving feeling better than when you walked in the door. I am seeing awesome results since working with her- my bruising has gone away, swelling is completely down, and I’m feeling better than ever. Barbara is so skilled in manual lymphatic massages, incredibly knowledgeable about the body and how it functions, and really cares about her work. In addition, she makes herself available for me to ask questions after I leave, she gives me advice and the tools to continue my treatment at home. She also reaches out to me to see how I’m feeling throughout the week . The way she genuinely cares about your recovery, you almost feel like you’re her only client, when you know for certain you’re not. That is how cared about for you feel! When you come across someone in their field who is incredibly skilled, and goes above and beyond in customer service just because they CARE - you have no choice but to rave about them. That’s what I found in Barbara, she is the best lymphatic drainage massage therapist I’ve ever encountered!"

~ Shaunai C (March 30, 2021)

"I’ve never left a review before, but have never had an experience that exceeded my expectations quite like this. A recent accident left me with a brain injury and back pain. My sister, a long time client of Barbara, recommended her and I can’t adequately express the relief that I experienced from that first visit, other than I no longer required any pain medication from that day on. I continue to see her and consider her my primary source of healing. I feel like she gives my body the opportunity and assistance it needs to heal itself and the efficacy of her lymphatic and therapeutic massage is superior to any medical intervention I’ve had."

~ Steve G (March 26, 2021)

"Barbara was FANTASTIC! I love her technique. Best massage I’ve had in a long time and super relaxing. Highly recommend!"

~ Brittany P (January 2, 2021)

"I cannot recommend the massage services and Yonka products enough! The combination is amazing, Barbara is a revelation in relaxation, and I love the Yonka scents so much, almost want to eat them!"

~ Jennifer W (December 30, 2020)

"I had suffered a bad fall and had 2 skinned knees...always hard to heal since you're constantly bending them.
The stuff is a miracle in a bottle. It soothes in seconds. It heals so well that there's no sign of injury and it's FAST. No scars....like it never happened."

~ Katherine S (December 28, 2020)

"I developed severe neck stiffness which worsened over 4 days, possibly due to stress or sleeping and/or poor ergonomics at work. After one session I had immediate relief, which only improved over the next 3 weekly sessions.
As a nurse, I was very impressed by Barb's deep knowledge of anatomy and physiology. She was able to identify muscles and areas of tension by palpitation and touch.
I always thought of massage as being a rough, deep massaging of the large muscles, but Barb's technique is slow, gentle, with sometimes constant pressure or touch of precise areas with amazing outcomes and relief.
Highly recommended."

~ Robert C (December 27, 2020)

"I highly recommend ! My three teenage sons and I took her CPR class and we will Re-certify with her every time now!"

~ Tara M (December 14, 2020)

"My experience with Barbara was amazing I had to share! Being a fellow LMT we have to renew our license every two years and CPR is a necessary requirement. Barbara provided us with effective and professional training in a timely manner! She was thorough and made the training fun! I highly recommend her CPR training!"

~ Candice B (October 23, 2020)

"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!"

~ JoEllen P (March 6, 2020)

"I been seeing Barbara for 6 years now. She is the best!!!! I enjoy the ambiance of her massage room and Barbara gives nice massages. I highly recommend her!"

~ Stephanie R (March 3, 2020)

"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."

~ Tracy F (August 29, 2019)

"The most relaxing lovely massage experience ever! Barbara has magic hands! "

~ Erica P (August 15, 2019)

"Barbara is a lovely woman who provided me a wonderful series of lymphatic drainage massages after an elective surgery. She is knowledgeable, friendly and the results speak for themselves. I highly recommend Barbara if you are in need of lymphatic massage!"

~ Hillary H (August 14, 2019)

"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."

~ Shasean W

"Barbara is a compassionate professional and gave a fabulous presentation on the benefits of massage for cancer patients at our annual conference. The survivors greatly appreciated her openness as well as the caring and knowledgeable way she shared information to improve their quality of life. I would highly recommend her!"

~ April D

"I've taken several of these over the years and this one was the best.  She trained our whole family all at once... If you need CPR training for work, or if you just want to be ready for an emergency, not if but when it occurs, I highly recommend Barbara's class."

~ Dave M

"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."

~ Jeffrey H

"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!"

~ Tracie E

"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. "

~ Kimberly H

"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."

~ Melissa BC

"Barbara really helped my upper back and neck, which suffers chronic pain. Her technique is very intuitive and gentle. Very relaxing!"

~ Kim W

"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!"

~ Beth G

"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. "

~ Amy C

"I've worked with Barbara a few times and have now made regular massages with her a part of my ongoing healing plan. One of the things I liked immediately is that asks thoughtful questions, listens carefully, and tailors the therapy to me as an individual. Additionally, she has a very healing touch. I've come to understand that a big part of the healing process is being able to achieve a state of deep, complete relaxation. That is why I will continue to go back. I leave there feeling totally relaxed and stress free every time. "
~ D. Brown

"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."

~ Kathy C.

"I had the Yonka firming body treatment series with Barbara. It was a great way to start the summer. The treatment smoothed the skin and reduced the appearance of cellulite. I massage was relaxing and I saw a difference in the appearance of my skin after the first treatment. I really appreciated that you can try the first treatment to see how it works for you before committing to the rest of the series."

~ Meredith W.

"I had a minor sinus surgery and my doc recommended lymphatic massage to reduce facial swelling 
I was so happy to find Barbara at Main St.! 
Two sessions later and what a difference! Not to mention the relaxation during the session is fantastic!! Great results thank you Barbara! "
~ Kim Grom

"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."

~ Kathy Z 

"The hands that know what to do!  By the time your session is over you will feel no pain and total relaxation. Magic!"
~ K in Flemington

"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."
~ Stephanie Agoes Tistan

"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!"
~ Amy Fiedler

"Your Gifted Hands and spirituality embraced Maggie mentally and physically. She felt renewed by your touch and even though it didn't last long it was still the gift of giving. It's wonderful that you can give the gift of well being and make that person feel healed as you did Maggie. You made Maggie feel as if she weren't broken."
~ From a grateful, grieving sister.

"When my mother was going through chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer her body was tired and frail.  I decided to get her a massage and Barbara came highly recommended.  Barbara came over and gave my mother a massage that changed her world.  Barbara was gentle, caring and uplifting.  Barbara's gentle massage loosened up my mother's fatigued muscles,  relieved stress, comforted my mom and made her feel wonderful.  I highly recommend a massage for any cancer patient to  relive the fatigue and make them feel comforted, especially with Barbara!"
