I am also trained and certified in Pre-Natal and Post-Natal Massage. I am a fully insured, certified-member in good standing of the above associations. I adhere to the guidelines set forth by the ABMP and NCBTMB, which have the highest standards in ethics and professionalism. I received my training at the Massage School of Santa Monica in California. My commitment to this healing art combined with my deep caring for the needs of others led me to open Body Restoration Massage, a Las Vegas massage therapy practice, after moving to Nevada. I am dedicated to providing clients with the best service possible and in doing so, pursue continuing education on a regular basis to expand my skills, incorporating special techniques and theories into my work. My goal is to offer quality massage therapy to each individual. I provide holistic, caring, professional, mobile massage therapy in the comfort of your home, office or hotel as well as on-site chair massage in Las Vegas for events.

Please contact me for dates & times. "I thank those who have already put their trust in my hands and I hope that you too may entrust me to fulfill your massage therapy needs" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ if you would like to send me a comment please click here Here are a few of the comments that I have received from clients: While looking for a Las Vegas prenatal massage therapist, my sister who lives in Michigan, found Barbara Potter online and gave me the most wonderful birthday present of a prenatal massage in my very own home. When I spoke to Barbara on the phone to set up my appointment I asked her if she could also make time for a massage for my husband who needed one just as badly as I did. She was very kind and accommodating. My massage was wonderful! Barbara understands the aches and pains ofa pregnant woman's body so well and was able to make me feel like I did before I had a 25 lb. belly. As far as my husband goes, I have set up massages for him in the past and he is never quite satisfied, but when Barbara was done with him he was so happy he couldn't stop talking about how good he felt all week. Thank you so much Barbara! Saima Musani, December, Henderson, Nevada As a larger person, I was somewhat embarrassed to receive massage therapy. The warm and genuine feeling of comfort I received from Barbara put me at ease right away. My stress level was very high and to my surprise I was very quickly in a state of complete relaxation. It was blissful. I received a massage as a "gift" for Mother’s Day and it truly was.

Please call me at (702) 524-5686 if you want to speak to me or book a massage for today. If you get my voice-mail I will return your call, as soon as I am out of session, anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. You may also e-mail me. I usually check my e-mail in the evenings. (If you are planning a trip to Las Vegas and want to make an advance booking, to ensure my availability for an in-room massage, please see my Rates Page where you can find the PayPal link.) Talk to Your Therapist Before your massage begins, please tell me which areas you would like to focus on, any areas to be avoided, as well as any medications or medical conditions I should know about that could effect the massage or treatment. Communication is the key to getting a great massage. During your massage if something is causing pain or discomfort during the session, by all means, tell me. Therapists need you to be up front about how much pressure is comfortable for you--and it's okay to change your mind, or need varying degrees of pressure for different parts of your body. If the temperature is not quite right and you feel chilled, if the music is bothering you, if anything is uncomfortable, speak up. Anything distracting you or keeping you from relaxing during your massage is worth mentioning. Remember, it's your time. This massage is for you! During your session, slow and deepen your breathing, allowing your body to soften more and more with each exhale. After your session you may feel very relaxed. It is recommended that you drink plenty of water before and after your massage therapy session. By doing this, you make it easier for your muscles to hydrate and give the body plenty of fluids to wash out metabolic wastes that are pushed out of the muscles during the massage. Additionally, stretching and heat (separately or together) can help loosen up muscles, improve circulation, and make the results of your massage experience even more dramatic. A warm bath with a couple of cups of Epsom salts will help detoxify the body and keep your muscles feeling as comfortable as they did immediately after your massage. For deep work that has been done on specific areas follow with ice to reduce inflammation. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Allow yourself a good night’s sleep after your massage and let your body fully regenerate and revitalize.
