 Body by Design Testimonials

"Barbara is one of those rare practitioners who truly treats the whole person. She addressed my care wholistically. As she coordinated her efforts with my other medical professionals, she proactively acknowledged how my spiritual, emotion and mental condition was affecting my physical condition. Working together Barbara and I achieved my goal of avoiding back surgery and being able to be on my feet for prolonged periods of time in front of audiences and traveling as a professional seminar speaker and author without being in pain. I have also been able to return to a love of mine - mountain bike riding. As a side note – a neck condition I thought I would always have was resolved after 15 years. I tell audiences I believe Barbara is one of the top therapists in the nation and that I highly recommend her."

"Thanks to Barbara and her staff at body by Design for helping me to feel better. When I started with Barbara, I was at the end of my rope, suffering from chronic pain and fatigue. I was looking at surgery to maybe correct some of my problems (numbness and pain in hands and arms) and was looking for an alternative solution. I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was finding it hard to get up every day and go to work. Barbara said that we could work together and try to resolve some of my problems. After a number of sessions with Barbara, I can honestly say that I feel like a new person. I get up every day ready to work and no longer suffer from the chronic pain and fatigue that I used to. Body by Design also offers a nutrition class that I took and am now on the road to healthier living and my ideal weight. Everyday I realize how lucky I am to have found Barbara and Body by Design, they have made my life worth living again and I cannot recommend them highly enough to everyone that I know. Thanks Barbara."

"Barbara Arnold-Herzer's therapeutic massage provides amazing stress and pain relief. After suffering for over a year with lower back pain, Barbara's therapeutic massage and strengthening exercises have done much to give me amazing relief. Before beginning my treatment I was unable to sit for any extended period of time (like thirty minutes on the couch) without stiffness and discomfort when standing up. I am currently exercising, practicing yoga, and feeling much more flexible and active. Barbara has a wonderful healing spirit, which does much to relax me during my treatment. She provides a wonderful balance of empathetic concern and practical heath information. My pain relief is due to the medical knowledge, advice and therapy of Barbara Arnold-Herzer. Thank you, Barbara!"

"Body by Design is my home, a home or healing for me and it has been for years. It is so much more than massage and is by far the best treatment I have ever gotten in my entire life. It is like a complete healing process - a global healing process really - a complete body , mind and soul experience. It has done wonders for me and my well-being. Barbara is the best healer out there. The connections coupled with her knowledge make it be an incredible experience that transforms me and my life. I don’t even know how to say it. My time with Barbara is something that I always look forward to. I would be happy to speak to anyone who wants to talk to me about it."

"A lot of massages you don't feel after you get off the table. But with Barbara's massage I feel the changes for at least 3 days to 7 days. She takes the time to go to the core and really relax the muscles and change them. I learned that about everything is muscular and so much if not everything can be fixed. It is amazing the control I feel over my health now! Intuitive. Enjoy!"

"Barbara, I just wanted to thank you for all the help you've given me over the last few months. I would have never been able to have the results I’ve had without your class. My doctor called me at home at night so excited just to tell me my cardiac risk panel was cut by two thirds, cholesterol was down to normal. I have lost over 55 lbs now!"

"I have been going to chiropractors, body-workers, and massage therapists for the past 38 years and Barbara without doubt has the most healing touch I have ever experienced. I have definitely found the answer to my lower back and neck problem. She’s not just a massage therapist. She is a body worker."
