Eric Barbour has studied an assortment of bodywork modalities since graduating with an Associate of Occupational Science Degree, Clinical Applications of Therapeutic Massage/Holistic Health Practitioner, with an emphasis in NMT(Neuromuscular Therapy). Yet it was aromatherapy that continually drew him back time and again. Today, at Scentsational Hands Idaho, he and his wife—also a holistic health practitioner—help clients to achieve a state of harmony and balance through the application of aromatherapy and traditional massage techniques…

Prior to establishing his private practice, Eric worked in a chiropractic office and for several prestigious spas in Southern California—Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa in Corona, Burke Williams Spa in Mission Viejo, The Well Spa at Miramonte Resort, & in the locker rooms of the BNP Paribas Open, both located in Indian Wells California.

What some people say about him…

“This note is to give you thanks for the wonderful treatment you performed on me. Your healing oils, your prayers, and the sound of your instrument were very soothing, relaxing and healing. Thank you again.” 

~ Susana B., Spa Owner

“Eric gave me an hour-long massage, complete with essential oils. I fell asleep during the massage, so I would say that it was very good! Eric does a great job, definitely give him a shot. No brainer...." ~ Kevin S.

“I've had two massages from Eric and he is a true professional and an excellent masseur. His style is adjusted to the muscular needs of the client and he is very knowledgeable about the interaction of muscles and where pressure needs to be applied. He's one of the few that really helped with shoulder issues because he knows how and where to apply the pressure. I highly recommend him.” ~ Ray, Palm Springs local

“Eric carries a gift that allows him to channel healing energy with every massage. Combining various modalities, he intuitively senses the pain points in your body and applies just the right amount of pressure to release the blockages. My last appointment with Eric was no exception, but it certainly did elevate the experience to the next level. Whether it was a combination of the music, special blend of essential oils, or his guiding force, the massage left me feeling renewed and relaxed!” ~ Jhony A.
