    Beyond helpful! Beyond healing!

    It doesn't get any better than having Barbara work out every kink, nerve, pain, stress, hurt, soreness and ache from head to toe - literally. She is extraordinary in how she applies her knowledge through her hands and into every muscle. Soothing, relaxing, healing.

    The only problem with Barbara's massage is that once you go to her, you will never want to go to anyone else!! She is by far the very best.

    My first review

    I have been coming to Barbara for several years now for the 90 minute signature massage. I always leave rested, refreshed and feeling so much better than when I arrived. Barbara is the consummate professional - always taking classes to learn about the latest techniques, and she is a wonderful, caring and compassionate person. She's the best!

    I wish that I could rate her 6 Stars!

    I normally do not participate in public reviews of products or services but I have to make an exception in the case of Alterra Wellness. I had my first session with Barbara yesterday. Every aspect of the experience was excellent and exceeded my expectations. I found Barbara to be very warm ,friendly, knowledgable and caring and extremely talented in her work. The environment is warm and relaxing. However, most importantly, I feel dramatically better after my treatment. I recommend Barbara highly

    Barbara is intelligent, skilled, and evidence-based

    Barbara provides medical-grade massage therapy informed by years of experience, a background in physical therapy education, and ongoing continuing education. But beyond therapeutic, Barbara's massages are also stress relieving!

    Barbara is the best!

    I have been recovering from surgery and was feeling so uncomfortable. My neck was effected and was my sleep. I went to Barbara and her card was amazing. Not only is Barbara a massage therapist, but she is extremely educated on medical message and various other techniques to help the healing process. Barbara is the only person that I would ever trust with my body. I felt so much better after my session. The swelling has healed and I feel almost 100% back to myself. Thank you Barb!

    Outstanding massage therapist

    Barbara is wonderfully good. Not only she is a fabulous massage therapist, but she is extremely knowledgeable and she has given me many excellent insights on how I can take better care of my body. She is also a caring, kind-hearted person. Last but not least, her premises are spotless and very comfortable. Given how wonderful it is to go for a massage, I am not exaggerating when I say that my appointments at Alterra are one of the most enjoyable moments in my life!. Thank you Barbara!

    Excellent!!

    I have had back problems for over 3 years from a car accident I have been out of shape due to the lack of exercise. I was afraid of making it worse. I found Barbara online and she has been helping me strengthen my body without pain. I feel great after we work out!! I would recommend her to anyone who has had an injury or who has not had an injury. She is very good at what she does and is very personable and fun to work out with and professional.

    Never knew I needed this....

    Starting a new work out routine, I just figured I would be sore and in some pain. But I never knew the damange I was doing to my body until I was seen by Barbara. The treatment I received was fantastic. All those sore muscles just seemed to melt away. It is safe to say that I am hooked! Barbara, was open to all my questions and even showed me some great stretches to aid me in my weight loss journey. Not only do I say thank you but my body says THANK YOU!!

    Calm Starts Here

    A wonderful respite from the daily, high-velocity pace of life. From the moment I entered Alterra, Barbara, the facility, the serenity massage...all grounded me "in the moment" of total relaxation and well being for that all too fleeting sybaritic hour. Thanks to a dear friend whose gift certificate brought me to Alterra, I look forward to enjoying more of Barbara's massage techniques on my own.

    She's the Best

    Barbara quickly finds the taut muscles and kneads them into submission. She knows where on the body to spend more time so the client can feel relaxed. She's got great knowledge of the human body as well as great technique.

    great massage experince

    Chose Barbara from the web and was very happy with the experience. She definitly knew what she was doing- better than any spa massage I've had. I told her what was ailing me and she focused on the problem. Very professional and nice, clean office!

    Miracle Hands!

    I met Barbara when I injured my lower back last year. She, along with my chiropractor and acupuncturist were vital to my healing. She was able to combine/incorporate different massage techniques to address each specific ache and pain! Not only were her hands miracle workers, she was always supportive and exuded positive energy that was so helpful. My back has somewhat recovered from the initial injury, and I still continue to see Barbara for 'maintenance' massages. I would refer her to anyone!

    Barbara's magical hands

    Barbara's been treating me for many years. She understands the body and will go above and beyond what the normal massage therapist will do to ensure that the problem area had been addressed properly. She is also great in the pampering department too!

  • 5

    Amazing!!!

    There is really no way to put into words the resulting relief you experience after only one session at Alterra. You can go there for multiple reasons whether it's to remove pain, to treat yourself to a spectacular soothing massage, or even a consultation to improve your health; Alterra will be your oasis. The sheer nirvana that I have experienced even after a few days, is still in effect!!! Thanks

    Mastery!

    I have been a client for several years, and am always impressed at Barbara's expanding knowledge and command of massage. She consistently assesses and explains, and I find this both comforting and impressive. Since embarking on an exercise routine, Barbara has helped soothe my aching muscles, as well as given me some "insider" tricks to maintaining strength. And can we talk about the 'AAAAAAHHHH" factor?! Ok, so this time I didn't snore or fall asleep on the table, but I may yet again!

    Caring and Affirming

    Barbara exudes tenderness in everything she does. After my double mastectomy, I felt uncomfortable about massage but Barbara put me at ease with her acceptance and skill. I highly recommend her to anyone--especially breast cancer survivors! 5 Stars!

    Excellent MAT Experience

    I highly recommend Barbara as an MAT Specialist. What she provided me with during and after the evaluation may go a long way in helping with a current pain issue and preventing future muscular problems. She is an amazing body-work specialist, and expert in identifying weak links that need correction. She is also very professional, caring, and very personable! I have already begun recommending her to a few folks suffering from sciatic pain and other ailments.

    My doctor suggested Barbara at Alterra after I was hurt in a serious accident. Another patient at the office had tried massage at many locations around the globe and said that Barbara was the best. She is! Barbara is outstanding. Her knowledge and expertise are very impressive. She has played a major role in my rehabilitation.
