Been getting massages for close to 15 years. One of the best if not the best massage therapist I've ever visited.

I have been to Barbara a few times, each with a completely different request/focus. I really appreciate her range--I started seeing her for craniosacral work but have also done more traditional massage. Barbara is intuitive, perceptive, a great listener and highly skilled at what she does! She brings a great balance of physical know-how and mindfulness to every session. I walk away not just feeling great but with wisdom to take care of myself. If you're looking for healing work (even if that healing is just to reset and relax), reach out to Barbara. Her new location is wonderful and easy to get to, and of course Barbara is the best! read more

Carol F. I have been receiving treatments from Barbara for a few years now off and on. The craniosacral work is amazing in combination with massage. I've recently started getting them once a month and notice my energy increasing after each treatment. It helps with joint pain and blocked energy in my head and limbs. She is very intuitive and has the gift of healing, knowing just what is needed at a particular time. I highly recommend her. read more

I wish I could give her 20 stars. She's changing my life, visit by visit, I tell you. Wear loose clothing, walk in, tell Barbara all your physical aches and ailments, jump on the massage table, close your eyes. She will proceed to float around the room and change your life. You'll wonder why it took you so long to find her. She will communicate with your body, and your body will respond. Her hands are hot, literally, and only when she's giving healing. That, is some Jedi-level-Matrix-typa magic. You'll sink deeper into your body as the session progresses, and 3rd person the next 75 minutes. She'll remove blocks in your body, and you'll feel it the next day, especially. You'll walk out of there with a renewed sense of purpose, happier, and with pep in your step. Don't question it. Lie on that table and submit. You'll walk outta there RIGHTTT. read more

Barbara is my secret weapon for really connecting with deep relaxation and healing. It's nothing I have experienced before - but very rejuvenating. It sets the tone for my week. read more

I can't say enough about Barbara--I was interested in Craniosacral work and did not know much besides some information online. Barbara is truly a healer and truly intuitive. In the short amount of time that I have been seeing Barbara, there is a huge positive shift that has occurred in my life. If you are at all interested in Craniosacral work, I would highly recommend Barbara in a heartbeat! read more

Barbara is a wonderful therapist. I have seen her for both massage and craniosacral and energy-based work, and both were amazing. After 18 months of chronic stress, family crisis and then a serious illness, I was depleted and not in my body--i couldn't be present or enjoy anything. We first worked on relaxing my nervous system, then added a massage session to release the stuck muscular tension. I'm feeling hopeful and relaxed again, my jaws and shoulders are relaxing and my breath comes easier. She takes your healing journey seriously and makes a plan for your treatment with you. I'm so glad I took a chance and went to see her! read more

Barbara Vos is amazing. I have suffered from frequent headaches, with neck and jaw pain, for years, and I made a CST appointment hoping it would help. I would have been happy if it had just been a relaxing way to spend an hour. It was profoundly relaxing, but I never dreamed I would go for weeks afterwards without any pain. I've had a few sessions with Barbara, and I feel so much better. I have greatly reduced the amount of ibuprofen I use, which never really helped anyway! Barbara is professional, kind, gentle, and really good at what she does. She has a gift, and I am so happy I found her. read more

I have been seeing Barbara for a few months now and really love our sessions together. She is a profound energy worker with considerable healing abilities. I've worked with other Cranio-Sacral practitioners over the years, and what Barbara does is far superior. In our sessions we don't work exclusively on pain (I have TMJ and work on a computer all day), but also energy healing and management. I believe that we are basically bodies of energy and we work in a profoundly toxic environment. We need someone like Barbara to help us get the energetic area (as well as the physical area) back in balance. I plan to continue to see Barbara for many more years to come! read more

I've been doing CST for over 10 years and know the effect varies by therapist. Barbara is the real deal! It's hard to describe what actually happens, but I've had some profound and "awakening" moments after her sessions. I firmly believe most people are "stuck", especially people in high stress jobs that require them to operate at break neck speeds. After I see Barbara, I feel like I'm operating as a "whole" human being again. Very hard to describe, but I'd be in a different place if I didn't have her in my regular routine. read more

Barbara is professional yet warm. Clearly a gifted healer in every sense of the word. I saw her post knee surgery and she helped greatly with swelling, discomfort, and sleeping issues. I can't recommend Barbara enough and will be back to see her soon! read more

Healing and restorative sessions. I was a passenger in a minor car accident yet suffered from really bad whiplash --- I was desperate to find a practitioner to work on me asap. Barbora was very easy to schedule with and was able to see me and just a few days, I had two 90-min cranial sacral sessions with her which were very helpful. The technique is subtle but I think it is the best modality for whiplash as it really helps de-traumatize and release the shock. I recommend, this, it hekped me greatly in those first few days of pain read more

Barbara helped me with insomnia that was starting to affect my life day in and day out. During both sessions, I found myself to be deeply relaxed and calm enough to drift away for a short amount of time. She's incredibly warm and welcoming in her persona but also practice. I'd highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for deep relaxation and healing. read more

While on business travel last month I was on planes and on my feet a lot. As a result I found myself in severe pain with still over a week of travel left. I get regular massages at home which fortunately are paid for by my insurance. However, I was in such pain I decided to make the "investment" and treat myself to a 90 min. massage in my hotel room. The concierge recommended Barbara to provide this service as he indicated she was his favorite. I get a lot of massages as I travel globally and this is one of the best massages I have ever had. Barbara was timely (which is important to me) and extremely professional. I highly recommend treated yourself to a massage by Barbara next time you are in San Francisco or if you are lucky enough to live there! read more

For the past 12 years I have seen Barbara Vos for severe rheumatoid arthritis thru massage & craniosacral therapy. Her HOT hands literally helped me deal with chronic pain, grief/loss and also become a dear friend. She is a real healer, part of my village & you would be lucky if you get the chance to work with her. Mary - East Bay Single Mom read more

Magical Hands! I've been having massages literally as long as I can remember, this was one of the best massages I've had in a while. Her hands works effortlessly on your body releasing all tensions! Will definitely have her whenever I'm in San Francisco! read more

Barbara is an extremely skilled practitioner , I have had hundreds of massages and was once a massage therapist and I can attest.to her expertise and quality. She came to my house and it was outstanding. read more

I was visiting the Bay Area for a few days and needed a massage for my bad back after a long day of flying. Barbara was recommended to me and kindly squeezed me into her schedule. I appreciated that as well as the fact that she came to the AirBnB where we were staying, asked what I needed before she began treatment, and checked in with me during the massage to see if the amount of pressure felt right to me. At the end, she used craniosacral therapy which put me in a very deep state of relaxation. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I should add that she is also a very lovely person with a warm sense of humor. I highly recommend her! read more

Barbara is amazing. One of my favorite things to do when coming to San Francisco is scheduling a massage with her. She's extremely accommodating and easy to get along with. After every massage, I feel so relaxed. I definitely recommend her! read more

My back was experiencing severe muscle strain and was starting to spasm. I called Barbara and she was able to accommodate me that evening. She worked on my back for an hour and at the end of the session, although my back was still sore, the spasms had stopped. The next morning, the pain was much better and no more spasms! I was able to cancel a doctor's appointment that I had scheduled. Her touch is magic! I was very nervous at the start of the session because it was painful to have my back touched. She worked for a long time on the non achy side and soon had me relaxed enough to trust her. If you're in any pain, treat yourself to a session with Barbara. I'm glad I did! read more

Barbara was amazing! She came to our hotel and on a very rainy afternoon made the day so relaxing. It was perfect. She has a fantastic touch, and applied the perfect pressure. Her demeanor is professional as well and it was memorable and relaxing massage. I would call her any time I am in the Bay area and looking for a massage. read more

Barbara a warm and compassionate person. She inspires confidence. I starting seeing her when I had Bell's pals. Half of my face was totally paralyzed when she started treating me. She was wonderful. The treatments definitely helped me. iIt was actually the most deeply relaxed I had been since the start of the Bell's palsy. I've been going back for weekly treatments and I'm convinced it's made a huge difference in my recovery. My face is 95% back to normal. I highly recommend her read more

After I had a head injury, Barbara was very careful and gentle with her message, making sure that she worked only on the supporting structures to help me heal. I would recommend her for anyone who needs a considerate and patient healer. read more

Great massage. Barbara finds and heals all of the places that need work!

I am so thankful for Barbara! For 10+ years, Barbara has been and is the very best massage therapist who specializes in craniosacral therapy. Barbara is amazingly compassionate and a uniquely gifted, mind-body healer. When I feel worn out by life's challenges, I schedule a massage with Barbara. Through her magnificent hands, Barbara is able to intuitively sense and detect what your mind, heart and body needs and flushes out all the mental and emotional stress, muscle aches and pains. Other therapists do not have Barbara's unique gift. You come away so relaxed, restored, rejuvenated and whole, ready to face life's challenges again. I can't recommend Barbara enough! You won't be disappointed! read more

I was having some pretty intense pain from several oral surgeries over the past 6 months and an overactive nervous system that was causing abnormal fluttering throughout my body when I first came to see Barbara for craniosacral therapy. The first session was deeply relaxing and I left feeling more grounded and calm. After a few more sessions my facial muscles returned to their normal state after too much time in the dental chair, and my nervous system is now calm and balanced as well. The fluttering sensation had been going on for months. I used to get some relief from acupuncture, but it would always return when I was stressed. The fluttering has been gone for weeks now because of Barbara's healing technique and I'm so grateful. These sessions have been life changing for me. Barbara is a true healer and has a warm personality too. I've seen many therapists for pain management over the years and without a doubt feel she is the best not only for helping with pain relief, but the balancing of my energy and nervous system was an unexpected bonus. Do yourself a favor and book a session with her soon ! read more
