Distance Healing "My family and I have benefited from Barb’s distance healing for more than three years. Her support has given me peace of mind and delivered real results." Sue Racine
Safety "Thank you Barb for your well thought out protocols for our safety due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. They were very clearly described at the time of my appointment confirmation and easily implemented. After my appointment I had NO concerns as I wasn’t in contact with ANYTHING that hadn’t been immediately sanitized. Given the necessity of lockdown, I will be in touch to schedule a distance session.
Thanks for all you do and learn to help us all feel our best…️"

BODYWORK TESTIMONIALS
Yamuna Body Rolling, Yoga Instructor “Barb Riffle is a miracle worker – for both human and horse! I was first gifted with her work after my cancer diagnosis. She brought me into balance before and after my surgery in the most amazing way… I am so blessed to know this incredible woman. Whether you own a horse, or just want healing within your own physical, emotional, spiritual body you must see her! Thank you so much Barb!” Laura Flanagan
“I can not stop talking about you and my amazing experience with you. I am so glad you have such amazing talent and that you could feel me move right through my experience. That is just how it felt. Today I am not taking pain meds and I feel amazingly good! Your work was so powerful and life changing for me and I can’t wait to go through next phases.” Laura Flanagan
Spinal Stenosis “Five years ago I was diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis so I researched a variety of wellness options to help relieve pain and improve my overall wellness. Barb provides very targeted massage, cranial sacral and energy work that is extremely helpful. With her assistance, I am able to enjoy a higher level of activity with less pain day to day. I look forward to my visits with Barb because I know that I feel better after every session.” Barb Waters
ACE Personal Trainer “I was very pleased with my session and still feel the positive effects from that day. Barb’s ability to tune into the body’s energy flow was amazing. After just one session, I felt a more balanced body alignment, increased mobility and very energized. I’m still feeling these positive effects one month later.” Linda Peterson
HEAVEN SENT! Last night was life changing! Barb has such amazing talent and ENERGY. In addition to her expansive toolbox of massage modalities, she was able to shift my rib cage and release a lot of emotional baggage I had been carrying around my whole life. (Technical terms: myofascial release with SER-somato emotional release.) I look forward to every session with much excitement as I always have profound changes in my body and mind. Thank you Barb! I feel so very privileged to have you in my world. 2016 Renee K.
Words cannot express the deep appreciation I have for all Barb Riffle does for my entire family!!! In her massage sessions she taps into what our bodies need and uses her toolbox of extraordinary skills i.e.: Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Reiki and Acupressure to name just a few. Even with her touchless Energy Work I can feel her powerful healing energy flow through my body. We moved out of state 2 years ago and Barb continues to do Distant Healing for us. It’s that much needed reset button for our stress levels.When one experiences Barb’s work…you truly know she is “HEAVEN SENT”! 2019 Renee K.
Graphic Design “Barb has such phenomenal talent. Her STRONG healing energy has helped me heal not only emotionally but spiritually. Barb even saw the lotus flower I had created on a 3D printer!” Caryn K.
Double hip Replacement Woke up Sunday feeling great, all day great. I was walking sooooooooo much better and more freely. I did ride all 3 horses around sunset and into dusk. I even managed all 3 gaits on 2 of them! BAREBACK! Ha! We all kinda picked where we left off back in Nov 2016. I thought I’d pay for all the fun today but no, still feeling fine and walking normally to everyone else but me. Renee F
Balance “My time with Barb is a very special time to me. Her kindness, and warm-hearted compassion helps me regain my balance in this ever changing world. Barb is a gifted healer and a beautiful soul.” Denise K
Wholeness “Barb was recommended to me by friends and to them, as well as to Barb, I am eternally grateful. I have been seeing Barb for several months now. In that time I have gone from feeling like something is missing within me to feeling whole and positive about myself and about my life’s direction. These results happened early on in our sessions and they continue to grow as we work together every month.” Kim H
NICU RN “Barb’s auora excudes warmth, positive energy , healing and gentleness. Her intuitiveness touched me deeply. She was able to help me to focus on my heart chakra and the issues I’ve been struggling with. She saw me on top of a mountain absorbing it’s healing energies. Little did she know that mountain peaks are a special place for me. She taught me how to reach the top of the mountain in spirit and glory in it’s energy( even though my physcial body can’t be there. I felt our hearts connecting and enjoyed the new energy I received from her in just one session . She is truly remarkable.” R.M.
Reiki & EMF Balancing Testimonial “Barb is an exceptional intuitive healer!

HORSE TESTIMONIALS
Finn “Had an amazing ride on Finney Beast this morning. Supple supple supple! So much better on his right. I have always believed in you, but I believe in you even more after the ride I had today. You really helped Finn and we had such a lovely, soft, supple ride.” Gwyn Friedl
Socrates “My horse, Socrates, had his first massage on March 20th … Wow! His whole body change shape and his manner transformed immediately. It was nothing short of incredible to watch. His whole body changed and his eye softened. While this was the first ‘live’ work Barb did with Socrates, she had done several distance sessions with him previously. Immediately following one of the sessions my trainer rode Socrates and when I saw him the next day he said, “I don’t know what happened to your horse Laura, but …WOW! … he really came together when I rode him! He was so collected and calm .. we had the best ride! I knew immediately what had happened, of course! Barb also did a distance communication with Socrates a few months after he came into my life. Reflecting back on that communication which happened a few months ago, I am seeing exactly what Barb described from her communication with him; “I saw him standing beside you with his head and neck very arched his chest expanded and opening up and his neck curved over and looking down at you. That is when I heard the message about how strong you are and how he also can have that shift within even though he feels very sweet and submissive within his being from his previous owners, but with you he can develop more of a arab fire that he has within his being.” Wow! That is precisely what is happening and I am so amazed and thrilled!” Laura Flanagan
Maggie May “Thank you Barb for all the healing help you have given Maggie May. It was a painful experience to see her lethargic, lose so much weight and not even want to be touched when diagnosed with an infection in her lungs which progressed to a bacterial infection in her blood. While conventional medicine gave her some relief she only started to make real progress after your healing sessions with her; intuiting what she needed most each session. It has been interesting to see her change from at first being some what fearful of the sessions to now enjoying them. For a mare who is fussy about where and how she is touched, she will now show how much she enjoys her sessions. My favorite was the time she went down with her front legs into a deep stretch while you were working on her; like she was telling you how good it felt; you know the how and where. We both appreciate everything you have done to help her heal and all that you continue to do.” C. A.
Blixten,Victor, Molly “Barb is a very gifted Equine Massage Therapist. My horses move better and are more relaxed mentally after they have been worked on. I also appreciate the instruction that I receive during the sessions so that I can continue the bodywork in between their sessions with Barb. Over the months I have learned to feel the difference between a relaxed, functional muscle versus a tight, restricting muscle. This has helped me to “feel” my horses better under saddle – whether they are supple or restricted. “Tight” areas alert me to potential problem areas – such as a developing abscess or too tight of a blanket fit. I’ve also learned that relaxed, supple muscles, make for a relaxed, supple mind” Holly Beach
Victor “He was sound – very soft looking and reaching well. Even his coat looked more dappled and shiny. I noticed that his “poll bumps” were very soft even when his neck was in the “giraffe” position. Thank you for your energy work with him. He seemed so happy and content tonight. “ Holly Beach
Zoe “When Barb Riffle started to work on my Friesian/Thoroughbred mare, Barb immediately noticed that there was a TMJ problem. The equine dentist found lots to do in there! Once the teeth were correct, Barb has continued to help the mare release tension throughout her body, from the poll to the tail. As she works deeper and deeper in the horse’s body, it’s as if the connections are cleared up, and the horse is able to understand and respond to cues much more easily. The flow of movement is smoother, and the work becomes easier. When my mare can work with a relaxed, supple body, not only are the movements easier for her, but her ability to learn and understand what I’m asking is vastly improved, and she is less emotional under saddle.” Ruth Hansen
Peri & Gem "Barb Provides energy work for my family. She has helped my horse to reach the wonderful age of 37 next month. She is knowledgeable about many healing modalities along with her natural gifts." Judy Prasak
Royal “I own a 17 year old Appendix mare named Royale. I retired Royale in August of 2011 due to tripping and poor body balance. Barb began sessions with her in December of 2012 and we already see amazing changes in Royale’s body. In addition to the visible muscular and structural changes, Royale has regained her zest for life...you can see it in her eyes! With continued progress I hope to be riding her again in the fall.” THANK YOU BARB! Renee Kuprianczyk
“I would recommend her to anyone looking to bring balance back to their horse, both mentally and physically.” Laurel Norris
Patty “On Friday my mom and I noticed that our beloved “senior” mare’s eye was draining profusely and was extremely irritated and swollen mostly shut. It turns out that her eye has been doing this for several summers in a row now and we’ve merely pinned it as allergies. I called Barb in a panic hoping she could tell me what’s wrong. Instead of just stepping into the situation and finding what the problem was, she worked at healing the issue. Not only did Patty’s eye look much improved within the hour, but her draining and irritation has disappeared altogether. My mom was really surprised to see that the eye wasn’t draining any longer and she had her eye exposed much more as the swelling had gone down and allowed for her to open it more. This was AMAZING work. Thank you so much Barb, I wish I had your gift. But since I don’t, I’m glad I’ve found you to help me and my animals.” Carrie Waters Schmidt
Gracie & Sebastian “Barb’s new 30 minute option is a bargain because in my experience, she can evaluate your horse and give you useful input in five minutes! My equine partner experienced a sudden change in attitude under saddle from fun easy partnership even when the work got harder to crabby unwilling unhappy horse. She was not lame or even slightly off and if I ignored the high drama and “made” her go, she could perform quite well. I didn’t want to venture into traditional medicine without even an obvious symptom so I whined to Barb who took five minutes to identify a tight spot and show me how to feel it myself and how to relieve the tightness. Since then I have carefully monitored the spot and my horse happily plays with me again even when I ask her to do something she thinks is stupid;) We are addicted to our monthly body work sessions but I know that 30 minutes with Barb will make a huge difference to your horse!” B.C.
Miss Johnnie “Barb not only helped heal my lovely mare, she also helped me understand how I could apply massage to support the healing process.Our first energy session with you was amazing. As we work through my mare Johnnie’s current medical challenges, I had been tired, worried and frustrated. I was amazed by the calming, cleansing and re-energized sense I had from your session. As for my mare, she was a true partner through it all — standing inches from me (and not on a lead) collaborating with my healing. When it was time for her session, I watched as the energy caused her to stretch, chew and relax into a calm, comfortable state. We will continue these healing sessions going forward because I saw real proof of their power.” Sue Racine
Dinant “At age 28 years old my horse Dinant was tested and confirmed for Cushing’s disease. I immediately started him on Prascend per my veterinarian’s recommendation. Dinant had a terrible reaction to the medicine. He was so stiff that he walked very slowly and in pain. He lost his appetite and was depressed. These side effects continued even after I took him off the drug. Barb has helped Dinant so much. All his side effects are gone. Also, he has so much more energy and his body is supple and strong. He wants to trail ride and canter and trot. Downhill, he uses to walk so stiffly that I would zig zag so to help him take the pressure off his hocks. Now he just walks straight down with a swing in his gait. Cannot say enough good things about Barb. I have my horse, my partner back. Does not get better than that for me.” Priscilla Polk

Frita “Barb has done several distance healing sessions and most recently a CranioSacral session on my “foster failure”, a 4 yr old Plott Hound named Frita. Since acquiring Frita in November of last year, I have struggled with medically treating her for food allergies, Anaplasmosis, Pancreatitis, Addison’s Disease, and Diabetes. Frita’s head was literally “spinning”. Barb was able to help balance Frita through CranioSacral, thus helping her to walk straighter and with less head twirling. The Distance Healing sessions have helped Frita to stay in positive energy so that her body can continue towards better health. To date we now have the Addison’s under control and her allergies are largely in check. We continue to seek a balance in controlling the diabetes. Barb’s healing sessions are invaluable in helping Frita find health and balance. " Holly Beach
“Yesterday Frita had her second (but more intense) CranioSacral session with Barb. Frita has had intense itching from allergies, but I also felt the itching came from deeper within as she would become frantic, trying to itch at her eyes and mouth. Barb confirmed that the itching was deeper than her skin and believed it to be a condition called nerve entanglement. Last night after her session, Frita was itching less and had her most quiet night ever! And upon awakening, hardly scratched at all. I was also able to remove her “itching cone” for most of the night. I am thrilled!” Holly Beach
Aaron "I would like to make a recommendation for Barb Riffle. Barb has worked on my miniature dachshund and I am very happy with the work Barb has done. My dog had back surgery and when he came home he had a very sore throat due to having a tube down his throat for such a long period of time. He was coughing continually and would not eat or drink. Barb came and worked on his throat and within a few minutes he no longer was coughing . He started eating and drinking and feeling much better. Barb also worked on his back. After the surgery his back was twisted into the shape of an S when viewed from the top and he had a hump in his back when viewed from the side. Barb came and worked on his back three or four times. Within two sessions they S shape was totally gone from his back. In one more session the hump was gone. Barb made a big difference in the recovery of my dog. I would recommend her highly for anyone who needs help with their animal."
Ripp
A Few Words to Share How Much Barb Riffle’s Intuitive Body Healing Work is Appreciated.
“Over a year and a half ago, my very special canine friend, Ripp, began slowly losing control of his left hind leg and showed general signs of weakening in his rear end. I was very fortunate to find a caring team of people to help determine what might be going on and to help me manage or cure his condition. We now know after lots of diagnostics and consultations that he has the symptoms of degenerative myelopathy, a disease that can be managed but will progress and is not curable.
I have known Barb for several years and she has done some very beneficial body work and my horses and some helpful EMF work on me. When I told Barb what was going on with Ripp, who is often in the barn with me when she works on horses, she stepped up and began using her integrated body work knowledge with Ripp. Her intuitive feel and skilled work made an immediate positive and helpful connection with Ripp. She now works with him on a regular basis making a big difference in the quality of his life, his comfort, and his movement. She has been tremendous support for both him and me. He loves her visits! Barb has a very nice way of working which gives him the confidence and encourages the relaxation allowing him to get the max out of his body work sessions. As an added plus, she has given me great suggestions and techniques to support him between sessions.
Ripp is now 9 years old. He is a very alert working type dog with a very sharp mind. He’s seems content in his current life, and is quickly adjusting to the recent addition of a Doggon Wheels Chair which allows him to participate in life, watching his farm, retrieving things, keeping an eye on his humans ,and moving much more quickly and confidently. It seems he now has a future which includes fun, new friends, and his treasured body work.
Barb is an avid learner and teacher. I am so glad that she is sharing her continuous journey of learning, giving, and healing, with me and many others. She is a gift to the animals and people whose lives she touches.”
Thank you Barb! Ann Schedel

PT & Franklin “Barb is a treasure in my life. She has cared for me, my two horses and cat for number of years. My focus with this testimonial is my cat named PT, who I believe was “sent” to me about ten years ago during a difficult time in my life. Since a kitten he has had multiple life threatening health issues. Currently he requires sliding scale insulin twice daily. Given his fragile health he can become ill very fast. Barb has answered many of my panic calls and intervened with her amazing intuition and distance healing energy. I also use Barb’s distance work while I am on vacation as a preventative measure as PT has a history of becoming ill when I leave. I can honestly say, with much gratitude and thanks that my cat remains with me due to Barb.” Judy Prasak
Family "Barb Provides energy work for my family. She has helped my horse to reach the wonderful age of 37 next month. She is knowledgeable about many healing modalities along with her natural gifts." Judy Prasak
Aaron-Reverse coughing with Dental Procedures “He is doing fine so far. No coughing and he recovered faster than usual from the anesthetic. He also didn’t fuss at the vets and cry like he usually does. They said he was very quiet. So it worked! He did bark when he heard me talking in the reception area so he was with it just being good.” Betty Burgess
Carson “ After you talked with him, he came home and ate his food for the first time in days!” Sue Moran
Group Distance Session “I don’t know if your session had anything to do with this, but Thunder and I had the best ride ever shortly after your session. Wiley was very happy and calm, and although he usually is, he seemed especially interactive.” B.R.
Hi it was amazing! I went out today and the cow was standing right at the gate where I turn Kyle and Rosie out. I led Kyle up and he was very calm even reaching out to smell the Cow. I opened the gate and he calmly walked past the cow and stopped right behind it and sniffed the ground ignoring the cow. He waited there until I got Rose. Rose waked up calmly and walked in past the cow quietly. They both stood there for a minute and then walked off together no excitement. The cow was no big deal anymore. I am amazed I no longer have to worry about them knocking me down to get away from the cow. Thank you! Betty Burgess
