Barbara Buck, Certified Massage Practitioner
B.A., Occidental College | Graduate Studies, UC Berkeley | Graduate, Jupiter Hollow

I’m a certified massage practitioner with a lifelong passion for healing through touch. My background includes a degree in biological psychology from Occidental College and graduate studies at UC Berkeley, where I focused on the intricate relationship between mind and body. I’m especially fascinated by the emerging research on how massage affects both the client and the practitioner—not just physically, but emotionally and neurologically as well.

Massage has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, beginning with friends and family. For me, it’s always been more than just easing tension in muscles—it’s about supporting the body’s overall wellness and nurturing the connection between body and mind.

Beyond my practice, I’m a proud single mother of two wonderful, grown children who are the center of my world. I'm also a competitive ballroom dancer and a retired hunter/jumper rider. I find great joy in sharing massage and hosting events at my 100+ year-old property in southern Sebastopol.

I truly love what I do, and nothing brings me more joy than helping clients feel better in their bodies and lives. Watching people transform and heal over time is one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. I look forward to being part of yours.
