Welcome to Breath, Massage, & Energy Bodieswork by Oscar Barquero.  Who would you be without restrictions in your physical body?  Who would you be if you could breathe fully and openly?  Who would you be if you had more vibrant energy?  Who would you be with a quiet mind and with thoughts that served you?  Who would you be....? Oscar has been interested in, and intrigued with, the human body  since he was a child. Seeing a baby’s hand and noticing how small it was in comparison to the hand of a full grown adult was something he found remarkable to behold even as a small boy!  With a continued interest in the human body as a young man, he graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia with a Bachelors degree in Biology in 2002. Still maintaining his curiosity about health and wellness, he began working at the Natural Way Health Food and Vitamin Store in Webster Groves, MO in 2008. He found this was a great place to learn about food and the nourishment of the human body. It was exciting to learn how healthy choices and a nutritious lifestyle could really benefit our bodies. Continuing his journey, Oscar was introduced to The Healing Arts Center.  With a lifelong passion to help people, and a need to be of service to other’s, Oscar graduated from the massage therapy program at The Healing Arts Center in October 2011, and has been a practicing massage therapist ever since . In 2016 he became a massage therapy instructor with The Healing Arts Center. He has been rewarded with continued learning and growth with each client and student he has worked with.  During the past few years Oscar has also dedicated himself to studying multiple disciplines outside of massage therapy, including Usui Reiki, Pranic Healing, and Transformational Breathwork.  In November of 2021, Oscar and his beautiful wife, Maddie welcomed their first child, Alba at home with their team of midwives. It was a truly amazing experience for Oscar…..now seeing the hand of his infant daughter lying in his own grown-up hand.
