TESTIMONIALS

Sara Hooper

Well folks, what do I say. Marco is a GD master (pardon my French). He is an integral part of my healing process for prevalent back issues, and keeps my body in fighting shape for dealing with what is, let's be honest, one of the most intense cities to live in at this time.

I always feel so much better after a session, and enjoy not only his magic musculoskeletal intuition but his chill easygoing rapport as well. When I travel, I book my flight back to LA first and then a session with Marco immediately following.

My dog also really likes him which is great for me since Marco, amazingly, does house calls.

Do your body a favor...he's the best!

Marco is very intuitive in his bodywork and knows where it needs attention sometimes even before you do. The techniques he combines give deep relief and leave you feeling lighter and recharged.

I have had many types of massages in my lIfe and I highly recommend his services.

I have been seeing Marco for massage therapy for several years for shoulder and back issues. He has a deep understanding of anatomy and provides a consistently excellent standard of massage therapy.

He’s thoughtful about his care, completely reliable and I thoroughly recommend him.

Marco Baarman is everything you would want in a massage therapist. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

He is brilliant in terms of knowing the anatomy and therefore is able to pinpoint the right place to focus on and the right amount of pressure needed. I have never been disappointed. He is a good listener and very respectful of one’s preferences. I like a deeper massage while my husband likes a more soothing, lighter pressure. We both come away very pleased with our massage.

We are so grateful that we found Marco many years ago!

Marco is a gifted masseuse: skilled, calm, and patient, with strong but gentle hands.

He is a big barrel of a guy who doesn’t look, at first, like he would be alert to my every muscle spasm and painful nerve. But he truly understands how the muscles and bones interact and how he can best get you healthy and then keep you there.

Unlike many in the field, Marco actually listens to me. He asks what I need and what MY priorities are for the massage session. And then he will explain to me whatever I need to know about how he is going to get me there. It has been my distinct pleasure to have known him and trusted him with relieving my pain.

Marco is amazing at what he does! Seeing him twice a month for Deep Tissue massage has eliminated my neck pain from bulging discs as well as helped my back and leg muscles with chronic tightness.

He knows the body well and incorporates dynamic stretching and other techniques to get the muscles to relax.

I’m so happy to have discovered him!

Marco Barman is by far the best massage therapist my wife and I have experienced in over 40 years of getting massages. We consider him a healer as he is able to take our aches and pains and work through them successfully.

Marco is extremely knowledgeable of the human body and how muscles can be manipulated to relive soreness and increase flexibility. He is very professional, personable, prompt and respectful of each of our needs.

We give Marco our highest recommendation.

Marco has been tremendously helpful in management of a pinched nerve that I've dealt with for years.

I've struggled to communicate where my issues emanate from but he does a great job in finding the root of my discomfort.

Jax T.

SO thankful to have found Marco and his healing hands. We've all had good massages before, but this is something else.

Marco knows the body, can intuit where your pain is originating, and ease it in one session. It's a joy to have this type of care in the comfort of your own home, and everytime Marco leaves I feel like a whole new person.

I cannot sing his praises enough and every person I connect him with thanks me for the recommendation!!

Marco is amazing, I don’t know any other way to say it. He is not only an incredible massage therapist; he has an encyclopedic knowledge of human physiology and kinesiology that enables him to adjust not only to your specific needs, but to your specific needs at any given time.

I’ve had days where my back was a problem area, and others where my back was fine but my shoulder was tight… Marco is always able to diagnose the problem and help me work through it in a targeted and specific way.

Other therapists might rely on the same basic work every time; not Marco. He’s simply light years ahead of the game. And he’s also great to talk to and wonderful to be around! All in all the best there is.

Marco Baarman has been my massage therapist for over 10 years. He’s helped me recover from 4 major hip surgeries and extended time on crutches. I credit his work as one of the major reasons I can walk today.

Marco has an instinct for the locus of a problem. He distinguishes between injury and restriction and heals accordingly. His instincts are infallible and yet he listens to my feedback.

I always feel safe and comfortable with Marco. I have had many different massage therapists in my life and Marco is the most perceptive, insightful and thorough I have ever worked with.

Marco has truly been the best bodyworker I’ve ever experienced.

A few years ago, I found myself with a debilitating neck injury that wouldn’t heal no matter what I tried. Marco found the cause and healed it with his magical abilities. He is a miracle worker!! I cannot recommend him more highly.

Kendra H.

Marco is hands down the best! He is professional, attentive, caring, punctual and reliable.

I have been one of Marco’s clients for over 10 years and have always found myself back in his hands. I first met Marco at a mommy massage group event that was held monthly and years later he was the only therapist that came to mind when my office was looking for someone to come in weekly and offer massage services.

I take pride in recommending him all the time and without fail he never disappoints!

Jack Newsted

I have always struggled with lower back pain.

I went to several doctors and physicians and have never had any success. It wasn’t until I started to go to Marco that my back pain was gone. With one massage I could instantly feel relief and the pain hasn’t returned.

I would recommend him to anyone.

Marco has been the keeper of my back for about 15 years.

If you want a gentle spa massage, he can do that, but his specialty, his art, is in knowing every muscle, tendon, and connection in your body and how to help it heal. I had a fall resulting in back issues years before I met Marco. I had plenty of massages that made it feel better for a short time, but Marco helped my back heal.

When I suddenly developed vertigo, Marco showed up for a massage having studied muscle connections that could be manipulated to help relieve the vertigo. I have benefited from his continuing commitment to learn more techniques to promote healing, as well as comfort.

And if that weren't enough, Marco is a genuinely decent, nice, and funny person, who holds the highest standards of integrity.
