I’ve been going to Barb for years, and it’s good to see her back. She is very professional and skilled at finding just the right techniques to improve my back/neck pain.

Barbara is wonderful and knows exactly what i need to relax my problem areas. I feel repaired and renewed after my massage. She listens to me as to where i am stiff and need extra work on muscles.
