I believe that massage provides a number of health and wellness related benefits delivered in a natural and safe and non-invasive manner.  Massage can provide pain relief and other healing results without the harmful side effects associated with prescribed medications and the many invasive medical procedures used today.

If you have never experienced the benefits of massage administered by a skilled, intuitive and knowledgeable therapist, do yourself a favor and call for an appointment today to schedule the launch of a new you!

Chair Massage

I offer chair massage for group on-site special Wellness Events or for those who are physically unable to lay on a massage table. Chair massage can successfully relieve the tension and irritation that builds up from stress in the shoulder, neck and head areas.

Deep Tissue

Studied Deep Tissue Massage at Everest under the very skilled direction of top instructors and incorporated Deep Tissue Massage early on in my practice. Designed to remove severe tension, deep tissue massage is a technique used to relieve both muscles and connective tissue below the surface. It helps to improve range of motion and heal injuries below the surface.

Myofascial Release

Studied Myofascial Release under qualified instructors at Everest. Have utilized this technique to relieve bounded tissue causing back pain and to relieve tight IT bands that frequently cause leg and knee pain.

Hot Stone Massage

Certified and licensed to provide safe and effective Hot Stone Massage. Smooth stones are heated and then lubricated with oil or essential oils, the therapeutic effects of heat are used to relax muscles more deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, the use of massage stones induces deep relaxation and provides a unique experience many find to be tremendously calming and centering. read less

Swedish

Began providing Swedish Massage Therapy under the direction of Dr. Daniel Scarffe at Scarffe Chiropractic in Garden City MIchigan while I was attending school. Continued to work with Dr. Scarffe after graduating until the Dr. relocated his practice. At that time, I took over MICHIGAN MASSAGE PROFESSIONALS and have been enjoying providing relaxing Swedish massage since.

Pregnancy

Training for safe and effective prenatal massage was part of my 500+ hours of education received at Everest Institute. Pregnancy massage focuses on addressing the special needs of expecting women. Special positioning and support is used to prevent putting pressure on the abdomen.

Barb makes every visit specific to what is currently going on in my body. It's never the same and her care is so individualized. Very caring and knowledgeable. The best!

This was an excellent experience and I felt wonderful after my massage. Barbara was very thorough; working from head to toe. I felt very relaxed. We had great conversation and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a great massage.

Barb and massage are equal to a therapy session for mental health
by Laurie on Mar 03
Barb is very skilled at her craft! She always asks me about specific parts of my body that are feeling pain, and she incorporates her techniques on that area. Barb is professional, kind, and talented.

Barbara was amazing and being my 1st time, I didn't know what to expect. It was very cozy and comfortable. Even as a plus size woman with lymphedema it was excellent. She went to the areas I had the most pain or issue. I would definitely go again. I Even got my husband to go! Thanks Donna Seitz

I’ve had a few appointments with Barb so far. Each visit has been great! The full body massage really relaxes my body. She also focuses on the areas I request. She’s given me tips and shown me stretches for in between my appointments. The office is very calm and relaxing!
