I did not even know Barbara was a coach, and then I found out she trained with Bob Proctor – I know his name and right away I knew Barbara was someone that I wanted to work with.

 

When I started my coaching with her, there was an immediate change in my confidence and in my business.

 

I would highly recommend Barbara and Body by Design as an alternative to conventional medicine.  They will teach you about proper diet, how to maintain your body, and acupuncture.

Most amazing place ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

Detailed testimonial: My friend had made an appointment for me to go a spa to get a body wrap & massage & I was unsure of where I was going until I got to Body by Design.  The staff were very professional & nice, I met with Barbara(the owner) and she was explaining to me the type of treatment she was going to do. It was a lose inches body wrap & treatment with massage, I was super excited about this as I had my Bridal Shower the next day & I wanted to look & feel great.. It was amazing and I really did loose inches!!!! I always experience a lot of neck, and shoulder pain so she was able to work all of my knots out. Not only was my appointment great. I really like Barbara a lot, she is not only a nurse but very educated in everything she does & really has an interest in making me feel better and wanting to help. Barbara even went out of her way and mailed me some information on types of stretching exercises to do to help alleviate the neck and shoulder pain I experience. I will most definitely be back to Body by Design & suggest and highly recommend this place. Thank you all at Body by Design for helping me feel SO much better!!!!!!

Barbara and Body-By-Design are the real thing.  Her deep giving of time, emotion and energy have been gifts from the universe.  She came into my parent's lives at just the right time and showed us what a healer is capable of - proving to each of them the power of profound care and expertise.  Specifically, she has been able to uplift my parents to see that they are in fact able to make great steps toward being pain free, more mobile, and stronger.  Barbara is an expert in communicating as well as bodywork and movement and the healthcare system, and you will be in awe like I am at her amazing ability to produce results.  I am incredibly inspired by her leadership and grateful for her willingness to be of such service and for creating such a healing space.

"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!"
