Barbara was an incredible help to me in the lead up to my endometriosis surgery in June 2019. Her expert care relieved very painful symptoms from organ dysfunction and adhesions. She is second to none as a visceral manipulation therapist and really has an innate sense of how body systems work in concert (or don't) to create pain and poor function. Thanks to her care I was able to maintain my sanity while waiting for surgery. I'm now pregnant and expecting my first child, and I hope she returns to Portland in the future because I would love to be under her care for the post-partum period. Barbara, thanks for all you do. You are a treasure and I'm so glad I received my referral to you.

Barbara is a kind, empathetic and skilled practitioner. She helped me resolve a muscular/skeletal issue related to scoliosis that was giving me much discomfort. She also found ways to encourage me to find connections between my physical and emotional states and how they might come into play regarding my overall well being.

Barbara is an incredible healer. She is one of the most skilled, wise, and intuitive practitioners I have ever worked with. She is an integral part of my treatment team. I credit my sessions with her for significant healing and relief I have experienced for multiple chronic illnesses. I would highly recommend Barbara for anyone suffering from endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, Crohn's disease, GERD, and asthma.

Barbara came highly recommended to me by my naturopath to address my history of gut health problems. She is a gifted healer. Her calming presence helped allay my anxieties as I started working with her. My sessions with her were extremely helpful and comforting -- alleviating my symptoms quickly. She gave me self-help tools to use at home which helped progress my healing at home. She has been a invaluable resource and I cannot recommend her enough.

I first decided to visit Barbara while I was researching Mayan abdominal massage. Meeting her felt like meeting an old friend. She is so warm and personable. I explained that after reading the plethora of knowledge that she has written about and posted on her blog, I was just going to put myself in her hands and let her do the work she felt my body needed. After my first session, I knew that this was the healing my body was looking for. If you can get a regular body massage, then you can definitely get an abdominal massage from Barbara, I promise. Even if you've never had any sort of body work, you will feel so at ease in her presence. I have always been very resistant to any sort of pressing or pushing on my stomach from doctor visits, but Barbara makes it so easy to relax and so comforting. She provides a very warm, safe space. We have worked on my bladder placement, which now feels at home in my body, and most recently her abdominal massage has been the key component in working out some very painful knots around my pylori area. I drive four hours one way to see Barbara and she is worth every mile. I am so thankful that I found her and you will be too.

Working with Barbara has completely changed my perception about how massage therapy can change your body.  She is incredibility intuitive, gentle and an amazing healer.  Abdominal massage may seem like it could be uncomfortable, but in fact the opposite is true.  It is incredibly relaxing and has helped me become much more in tune with my body.   I used to think in order for massage to be effective you need to have very deep tissue work, but Barbara's approach is exactly what my body needs.  She is magical and I feel fortunate to know her.
