"I started seeing Barb Richter at Health by Design about 11 years
ago. Her therapeutic massage techniques helped tremendously to reduce the extreme tension and stress I was undergoing at the time, in addition to helping relieve chronic pain in my hip and leg. Barb is not only an amazingly skillful and knowledgeable massage therapist, she is warm, caring, and professional. Even though the chronic conditions have been alleviated, I keep myself healthy using her "maintenance plan". I wouldn't miss my monthly massages with Barb..!"
Cheryl, Reference Specialist

"I have been going to Barb for massage therapy for 10 years.
The very reason I continue is because of the difference she has made in my health & well-being.  She has a warm, inviting therapy room that
invokes peace & relaxation during your session. Her hands are able to assess problem areas and identify trigger points that are causing issues elsewhere. Her therapy and recommendations really work and have resolved pain, weakness and soreness throughout my body. I no longer have back and neck pain, and want to maintain that status, which is why I continue to see Barb. I always look forward to my appointments with her!"
Denise, Staff Development Specialist/Educator

"Barb keeps me feeling like a normal human being! I suffer from Scleroderma, Sjogren's Syndrome, and Fibromyalgia. Every day has the potential for unending pain. Barb is able to keep my body functioning, alert me when something is changing, and help me work through flares. In the over 10 years that I have been going to Health by Design I have seen my body go through many changes, and Barb has supported me through it all.

After working as a clinical psychologist for years and seeing
that traditional treatments, whether it be psychological or medical, only takes a person so far, I personally began seeking training in holistic techniques. As part of my journey into complementary and alternative treatments, I not only suggested these treatments for clients but I sought out my own experiences. Barb Richter is one of the most gifted massage therapists whom I’ve come across.  She has extensive knowledge of the
human body and understands the impact that physical and emotional stress has on it. More than that though, she has what I like to call “intuitive hands.”  She has a knack for finding the trigger points without you even knowing they were there.  I have referred numerous clients to her for treatment and always get positive feedback, but I also find my way to her
table as often as I can!
