About Me

Hello, and thank you for visiting my page! My name is Donna Elaine Barnes, and I am a licensed massage therapist.  My educational background is medical, and I had always considered myself a "scientist" with a degree in the medical field.  Even though I still love medicine, I discovered that balance between scientific medicine and holistic medicine is the key to health and happiness.

I see myself as a bridge between the Western Medical World and the Natural and Spiritual Healing available to us.

I have been called a Shaman, and a Healer and both of these descriptions are correct.  

When you come to me I will use a variety of techniques in one session depending on what is needed, so you don't leave to pick one or know in advance which to choose.

I have found that a GREAT massage therapist can help alleviate pain, and that DEEP PRESSURE is NOT always the way to go.  This is important to know for chronic pain sufferers.  I am no stranger to dealing with extreme skin pain, and didn't know how wonderful massage could feel if done correctly. Where harsh chemical pain killers are ineffective, massage can sometimes be the key to an improved quality of life.

Of course, when deep pressure and good stretching is needed, I would be happy to help with that too.  You will see that I list a great variety of modalities as separate choices, however you will never have to pick one, or pay more for another.  They are just part of the techniques I use in a session to address all tissues and all issues.

For a complete bio including my educational background and approach to massage therapy, simply give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
