"I have been working with Barbara for a couple of years and just love her work.  The Healing Touch work helps me open to more of my soul's direction.  It has facilitated so many beautiful experiences which have helped me open to greater depths.  The Raindrop Therapy is a very special technique.  Barbara has a way of just tuning into exactly what my body is asking for.  It feels heavenly and the oils are fantastic.  My body just soaks up the oils.  For me it is very special working with someone who is so very open to what shows up.  She is a gifted healer and I very much appreciate the sessions I have had with her."                                                                                        Katherine Melick

 

"I have been a regular client of Barbara Gilkeson for several years.  I indulge myself in her thoroughly enjoyable 90-minute massage therapy sessions, and have been seeing her mostly monthly since we began.

Previously I've experienced massages from a variety of massage practitioners over the years, but I have never felt so completely taken care of as I have under Barbara's care.

I am an energy healer, practicing subtle flower and other essence therapy for clients myself, and I am sometimes under considerable stress.  I am also a parent and grandmother.  For me, these excellent massages are necessary reminders of how I can be feelig.  I find them rejuvenating, restorative, and completely relaxing.  Occasionally I doze off for a while, feeling so safe there.

I find that discomfort melts away, my shoulder spasms are lessening, and I look forward to continuing.

Thank you Barbara - whatever you're doing works wonderfully for me.

I have also recommended her to others.  Bless you!"

"If you wish to find a gifted healer who has integrity,years of training and experience, ability, commitment, caring and heart, a true listener, then in Barbara Gilkeson you will have found a treasure.

Because Barbara can work on so many levels and with many disciplines, I have found during the years I have known Barbara, that she intuitively suggest rather than dictates in which modality to work.  Barbara's fees are reasonable and vary, ranging from massage and Healing Touch to Raindrop Therapy.  The massages are geared to the client's area of concern.  Raindrop Therapy massages (really special) can be general or work on specific systems such as the lymph system, cardiovascular system, and more.  Barbara's love of pure essential oils has grown into her professional use of aromatherapy to assist and support her clients.  She will intuitively blend the oils for the client and may suggest the client work with that oil to continue the healing following a session.

Personally, I have been on a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and etheric journery with Barbara as her client and believe that who I have become and the life I can now enjoy is in great part due to Barbara's work; her love, her lightness; her gifts and her devotion to service."

"I met Barbara at a time when my family was going through a critical time in our lives.  We had suffered many deep losses during a three year period.  Each of us were experiencing physical maladies in different ways that were affecting our personal lives and our work.  We had been living with stressful situations for a prolonged period of time that was taking a toll on all of us.  We run a small family business and it is important to be fully present and the business was also beginning to suffer.  Barbara came highly recommended from a dear friend.  I saw Barbara first.  After a preliminary discussion we decided an hour of massage and a half hour of Healing Touch would be most valuable.  After the first massage I felt a subtle shift.  I was in less pain, slept better and felt more like myself than I had in three years.  I set up several more visits with Barbara and my change and balance became more apparent to my family.  My daughter came next, then my husband and my son.  Barbara helped to bring us all back to a more normal and balanced place.  Our physical challenges subsided.  She helped to smooth out all the rough edges and help us get back to ourselves.  The qualities I most appreciate about Barbara is her knowledge in healing techniques, her willingness to listen and the peace  and stillness that she offers.  Barbara has a knowing about her that is bringing back my own confidence.

Barbara is instrumental in assisting my family back to perfect health and personal joy."

"Barbara is a very caring person and does wonderful work.  I feel healed  physically,  mentally, emotionally and spiritually after the session.  My whole body feels lighter and I leave a different person.  My outlook has changed. My pain has gone away.  I have been seeing her for over 5 years for massage and energy work.  I only wish I had met her sooner."
