Barb Hicks LMT

Wonderful! Barb is both skilled, personable and professional. Her massage room is clean, quiet and very peaceful which makes it extremely easy for a busy mom to relax. I suffer from frequent tension headaches and she did an outstanding job of applying appropriate attention to specific muscle areas to provide me relief at the time of the massage and continuing after. I will definitely continue to see Barb on a regular basis and would recommend her to anyone!!!

In a fast pace work environment, it is difficult to find time for oneself. Barb Hicks is greatly appreciated! I have been working with Barb for the past 2 years and recommend her without hesitation. I say working with because I view Barb as a partner in an ongoing process to maintain a healthy lifestyle. While Barb is very capable of fixing a troubled spot here and there, she provides a very real benefit when you work with her over time to maintain good health. After a few sessions, Barb becomes familiar with your muscle structure and the areas that need maintenance or direct focus. This knowledge allows her to zero in on the areas that need attention and make the most of the session. Barbs knowledge and skill translate into an effective, relaxing massage every time!Everyone of my massages with Barb has been beneficial to my well being. I fully respect Barbs gifted ability and appreciate the compassion and presence she brings to the profession. I fully trust Barb on all levels of my being and honor her for how she has provided me with awesome service every time! Terri Harrington (Realtor - Fine Properties - Sarasota)

I had a deep tissue massage with Barb today. I loved every minute of my massage. My neck and shoulders feel so much better. The lotions Barb uses are wonderful as well as the warm towels and scrubs. I was so relaxed that I didnt want to leave, let alone have to drive. Very professional.

Amazing experience with Barb! Shes flexible with your schedule and has created a relaxing environment for her clients. I personally was looking for someone local and Barb is my gal! The massage was exactly what I wanted. She was able to focus on my trouble areas and give me the relaxation I needed. I felt so much better after seeing her.

Massage is a great way to recover both physically and mentally. Whether you work a 9-5 at a desk or your job involves training like your life depends on it, the many benefits of massage are undeniable. Always professional, kind-hearted, caring, and passionate about what she does, Barb truly loves to help people. She takes the time to listen to you about your specific needs and tailors the massage to best address those needs. Shes an extremely wonderful masseuse, and an extremely wonderful person. I highly recommend making an appointment with her, you wont regret it.

I have seen many massage therapists in my attempt to gain relief for neck and shoulder issues. Yet, not one was able to provide the relief from pain that Barb could! She utilizes various techniques to achieve the desired effect and I always leave feeling wonderful. She is, without fail, professional, pleasant and on time. Her studio is clean, comfortable and inviting. I highly recommend her to all of my friends and family!

My husband surprised me with a massage for our anniversary and Barb did a great job! As a Massage Therapist myself, I get frequent massages and tend to be on the picky side. I was very impressed with her and her technique. She has a unique style which was very refreshing. Will be returning! Thank you Barb!

I have had 3 massages with Barb now and everytime I have had an amazing experience! As a Mom of 2 little ones I am constantly lifting them which causes some back pain. After my massage with Barb I feel relaxed, refreshed, and pain free. I would highly recommend Barb!

I called Barb for relief from weeks of neck, shoulder and arm pain, and in less than one hour she adjusted her schedule and my pain with expert skills, using a variety of massage techniques and a warm, intuitive touch. I found her studio to be a peaceful and safe sanctuary (gorgeous decor); she was personal and positive and caring; and her massage is one that I will continue to keep in my schedule. Im very happy to have found her and with years of my own personal experience and knowledge of energy work, highly recommend her.

Barb has been working me over for better than two years. Major cancer surgery to my neck has left adhesions that atrophy and muscles that go into spasms. Barb very skillfully relieves the tension and relaxes the muscles to give me relief. In addition to the neck she is treating me for lower back pain and arthritis in my hip. It is amazing how much better I feel following her massage to my old body.

Outstanding professionalism, technique and customer service. I traveled extensively in my career and have been a member of numerous high end day spas over the years that have first rate massage therapists. Barb is at the top of the list in effectiveness and responding to client feedback during the process. Just got to Bradenton and she is a true blessing!

I recently, along with my husband, received massages by Barb. This was my first ever and I ABSOLUTELY loved the whole experience....Barb’s technique, relaxed atmosphere, beautiful setting and background sounds, set me up for a truly enjoyable and much needed experience. Highly recommended by both of us! Thanks, Barb!!!

I have been going to Barb for at least a year. Her place is very clean and it is a very relaxing atmosphere! She is outstanding and helps my neck and back issues. Awesome massage for relaxation and stress issues!!!

Lotus Massage & Skincare and Yoga is very clean and convienently located. Barb is an outstanding massage therapist and very profssional. I have been coming here for quite some time and am never disappointed. Try her salt scrub. Youll love it!

WOW!!! First massage I have ever had. I went in with a pulled calf muscle that was tight and very sore. An hour later and I am a new man my calf is still tender but virtually no pain where as before it was throbbing. She started gently with the sore leg put some hot towels on it and worked on the other leg. When she came back to the sore leg she was really able to go deep with very little pain at all. I expected this to hurt a lot much to my surprise it felt great. I will be going back for the full body treatment I cant imagine how great that will feel. Good location right off Cortez on 59th St. W. very clean and pleasant atmosphere. Barb has a great bedside manor very professional and friendly.
