Victoria Barrett

Word’s cannot explain the work and care that Victoria puts into each and every session with me. She listens to my body troubles, and works on me with the intent to relieve that area I am having trouble with. Victoria and I have been working on low back issues and shoulder issues, and this is the first time in a longggggggggg time I have found relief. You are a gift, and I am glad you are part of my wellness and friendship.

I have been going to Victoria for massage every 4 – 8 weeks for about six years now. I am a gardener and my job is hard on my body. She heals me.
Victoria not only works on my sore back and hands and feet, my stressed out jaw and tired legs, but she also tints my too pale eyelashes and brows, rips unsightly hair from my legs and softens my skin with delicious body wraps and face masks.
I leave every time feeling better in my body and my spirit.

Victoria is an amazing massage therapist and healer!
I began working with her in September 2011 following surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon and months of physical therapy to learn to walk again. She co-​creates a space with me for healing the body, mind, and spirit, by first listening to my present location. At our first session, I was carrying the heavy tension from months of inactivity and energy stagnation. So I was expecting a massage beat down (like getting tenderized at the mall), but Victoria has healing touch and a way to gracefully invite the body to relax that is so effective! She was able to relax my body, particularly my shoulders and neck, to completely change my posture. I left our first session feeling relaxed, having a greater flow of energy in my body, and realizing that I could whistle and smile effortlessly for the first time since my injury.
In subsequent sessions Victoria has been able to identify issues in my body I need to pay attention to. She uses a variety to techniques that includes hot stones, amazing smelling oils, and stretches to reset the body. Working with her to heal my body, I have been able to address matters of the mind and a renewal of spirit in a truly interconnected way. She is a blessing to me!

We all know there are a lot of massage therapists out there and finding one that compliments you can be an arduous task… kinda like searching for the right mechanic. Victoria came highly recommended by some friends and I saw her a few weeks after I had put my back out. My whole body was tense and the muscles in my lower back, gluteals, and legs were so tight I could barely stretch them. I opted for the cocoa butter body wrap and threw in a facial since it was the holiday season. I was so impressed by the professionalism and sincerity of Victoria. She made me feel comfortable throughout my session, checking in and explaining each next step to me. At the end, I was completely relaxed, muscles loosened, my skin felt softer and silkier than ever, and my face looked radiant, clear and hydrated. I felt like I not only had a kick ass massage and facial, but a real therapeutic experience. Victoria uses organic products for her facials and massages and includes free hot stones and aromatherapy oils to compliment your massage. I have never had such a fantastic spa experience at such a great price… completely reasonable given the time, expertise, and attention you get.

I have been going to Victoria for massages about every six weeks for almost a year now, and I can’t say enough good things about her. I really tend to carry all of my stress in my shoulders and upper back, and had a few permanent knots near my shoulder blades. Since my sessions with Victoria, I’ve noticed a lot of improvement (so has she) in the way that area generally feels. During my last session, I mentioned to her that I was having some odd, painful twinges in a muscle in my lower back, and she really spent extra time during the massage to find the troubled spot and work on it. After, he even showed me a stretch to work that muscle, and told me excatly where in the city I could find and buy the herbal rub she used (she was running low herself, or she would have given me some)
She is also amazing at blending different aromatherapy oils to create a blend that will work best for you.
Her 60 minute massages really are a full 60 minutes, too (unlike some spas where once you talk to the therapist and get undressed, you only have 40 minutes left) Her prices really can’t be beat, either. Her rates are extremely reasonable.
I have only ever recieved massages from Victoria, but I know that she does a pretty full line of skin treatments, waxing, tinting, and other things. I’ve been given a gift certificate for a facial, and I really can’t wait to use it!

I just had such an awesome session with Victoria, Her combination of skin treatments and massage is a dream come true for those of us who are short on time but still want good work done. I needed my brows done after a few months of neglect and her attention to detail was top notch. They look great.
My skin has been really dry and she suggested the cocoa butter wrap and 0h la la! It was just what I needed. She does the best dry-​brushing I’ve ever had, then a warm cocoa butter massage where she uses stones (it was such a hot day here in Petaluma that she used cold stones rather than hot ones and it felt so invigorating. She gets into a flow and you can’t tell how many hands she has but it feels like more than 2. I felt so attended to (read-​pampered). I’m glad that she’s offering her services to the north bay now too!

Victoria is awesome! I’ve had dozens of massages all around the Bay, and she is the best hands down! (no pun intended) She is a calming, knowledgeable and professional therapist who listens. She is able to find all the painful spots and relieve them. She will also recommend stretches that help my chronic back problem. It’s not only a relaxing massage, but truly a therapeutic massage. 5 stars!
