Body By Design

Barbara who is the owner is so knowledgeable about body and health and so kind and caring, she knows exactly what is going on with your body and how to work that area. you can't find any place better than Whole Frog, I do highly recommend them!

Was gifted a 90 minute prenatal massage with Stormy. She took her time to ensure I was comfortable. The entire massage was such a treat! And I learned a few things I can do at home to relieve some ongoing issues. Hoping to return soon.

I had my first 90 minute massage with Bridget last week. Unlike a regular massage, this one was more rehabilitative. Which is something I've really needed, but wasn't sure where or what to look for. I'm somebody that gets massages regularly, this massage was more effective than a traditional deep tissue for pain relief. She used a machine to break up the fascia and cupping.

This worked wonders for me especially on my calves, which are typically always tight and massages normally don't help enough. She also told me which rehabilitative exercises and stretching to practice at home. So unlike a traditional massage, you get more of a treatment plan. I definitely recommend this for anybody with chronic muscle pain like myself.

I received a gift certificate for a 90 min massage from my son. I was hesitant at first because 90 min is a long time for a massage. I was so wrong. Bridget spent more than 90 minutes with me and helped my knee and shoulders so much. She helped me relax and gave me movements to do at home to keep my mobility strong. She is so knowledgeable and dispelled my hesitancy about a 90 minute massage. I have booked another bodywork massage with her. Thank you, Bridget!

I was searching for a great massage experience and found this place online. They were very helpful over the phone and able to get me on the schedule the same day. My massage therapist, Dave, was fantastic! He's very skilled and intuitive on top of having a very nice and calming demeanor; all of which I appreciated. I will definitely be going back on a regular basis. My body felt better immediately the massage and even better in the days after.

I had surgery and came in for a lymphatic massage. Barbara did a great job making me comfortable and taking care of some spots that needed some help. She was extremely informative and I trusted her with her experience and background. I will definitely be back!

Really GOOD massage by Bridget! She is tiny but MIGHTY and knows how to get those knots out. I required some work on my neck and WOW, that was amazing and it was such a relief. I have been to her a couple of times and will continue to use her services again. Terrific Lady! Thank you very Much!

Today was my 2nd visit with Stormy. I have terrible back issues from surgery. Stormy listened to my chronic pain complaints and concentrated on the areas of pain and added exercises that might help me at home by strengthening my core. I felt so much better after my visit. I recommend Whole Frog very highly

I have been going to Whole Frog 2-3 times a year for the past few years as a special treat for a massage. I have had both Stormy and Bridget and they have both been great. While the massages are primarily for relaxation they also work on any knots, tightness, etc. I have with an expert gentle touch. I an easilyy recommend both of them. Normally I would give Whole Frog five stars but I had a massage on Saturday which was great as always but I felt that I was being sold to as well which has not happened before.

Prior to the massage I received a message asking if I would like to add any other treatments which was OK but had never been asked before and I had already booked what I wanted. During the massage I was asked twice if I would like to buy a $995 package that offers health tips, diet advice I guess, etc which had never been done before. I don't know if that is a new strategy with Whole Frog but if it is I think they should let up on this.

Between asking if I wanted to add any other services to what I had already booked, the sales pitch on the program during the massage and a follow up phone call to ask about the massage but also encouraging me to book something else I feel as this is overkill. I will continue to come back because I live the two therapists but I hope the sales pitches will stop.

Zahava was incredible. She is very knowledgeable about body mechanics and teaching how to help fix problem areas at home. Her massage techniques and pressure are perfect. She is very kind to top it off. I highly recommend her and whole frog! Thank you for your healing hands! Sarah K.

I took my mom to a FullRange therapeutic with Bridget and it was amazing. My mom had been in upper back pain for some time and after one session with Bridget some of the pain went away and she felt relief right away and continue like that. She also took the time to teach her movements to keep improving. I highly recommend Bridget and WholeFrog.

I just had the best treatment on my bad knee. Barbara really gets to the place on your body quickly and directly. Also, she teaches you preventative exercises that will change your life. I highly recommend going to WholeFrog.

I've now been to both the Westlake and Moorpark location and I find they always keep the rooms immaculately clean. Everyone from the owner to the staff are always helpful and just about the nicest people you could meet. If you need a massage for any reason from relaxation to sports therapy I can't recommend them enough.

I am still glowing and in awe after my experience at WholeFrog yesterday. While massages are always nice, there is nothing that could quite compare to how personalized and incredible my massage with Barbara was. It was more than a massage, but also a learning experience about holistic healing of my body, mind, and spirit. The focus was geared toward healing my body, rather than temporarily providing relief. Incredible! I can't wait to go back

As a teacher, my world is filled with stress and anxiety. Needing a personal day to unwind and breathe, I reached out to WholeFrog to help me center myself, and did they ever assist. Gavin was attentive to what I was looking for and took me to a deep place of calm and relaxation. Thank you, WholeFrog for making my personal day just that! I cannot wait for my next session.

This was my second appointment with Gavin, and it solidified why I decided come in for another appointment. Gavin checked in with how I was feeling post first appointment, and made sure to address the tension areas I was struggling with. I left feeling amazingly relaxed and excited to continue improving with his help. I also want to give a shout out to the office staff. They are always so kind and welcoming, adding to the number of reasons to continue getting services from WholeFrog.

My girlfriend booked us appointments for a 1 hour relaxation massage, and we had such a wonderful time. Highly recommend Bridgette or Zahava.

Had a wonderful experience at WholeFrog with Stormy. I did not realize when I bought my Groupon this was more than just a spa to get a message, they work on your whole body and teach you exercises to help with pain and discomfort as well as other health related things. Stormy was very attentive and provided a great massage and some exercises to help with my neck and back pain. Would highly recommend her and WholeFrog.

So amazing. Stormy is truly truly gifted. The entire experience felt so personalized. I felt very loved and cared for. The most holistic massage I've ever had. While massages are typically a pleasant experience, I felt like this one actually dug deep, which is what I really wanted. You can't get a massage like this just anywhere. Go!

An amazing oasis of calm and relaxation. Extremely clean. Wonderful smells throughout the facility. My therapist was very knowledgeable and personable. I left feeling rejuvenated and centered. Looking forward to a return visit.

WholeFrog is a wonderful place for bodywork and wellness. The staff and therapists are friendly, professional and are effective with the treatments offered. I have been treated by Zahava a few times, and she is a wonderful, intuitive healer. Once registered within their system, it's easy to contact them or make an appointment online. Though located in a busy plaza, the inside of the facility is very calming and clean.

Inside the spa room is a tranquil space to be able to receive relaxing bodywork. Recommend this wellness spa for self care practice, soothe stress away. Will be scheduling again.

I had one of the best massages in my 60+ years and I am so grateful to Stormy for being so patient with me. I am a mental mess and missed an appointment and then was late. Everyone was so kind, thoughtful and did their best to accommodate me when I finally graced them with my appearance. Great massage room. Stormy lets her senses and hands guide her and she was spot on finding my congested spots. Thank you! Will be back soon.

I suffer from back and shoulder pain from a reparative motion injury I sustained at work. I have tried physical therapy, acupuncture, and standard pain medication to try to alleviate the pain, but nothing worked. I booked a massage at WholeFrog hoping to find just a little bit of relief and it was the best decision I have made all year! The staff was super friendly and the environment was very welcoming. Gavin was a constant professional and made sure that the massage didn't exceed my pain/comfort level. Even a week later my movement and pain are better than they have been for a very long time. I have already booked a follow up! Thank you WholeFrog!

Whole Frog truly has been a God send for me. It keeps my body functioning better and learning the full range exercises helps me maintain my body issues and pains in between my visits! If you haven't been to Whole Frog yet please try it. You won't believe the level of care. It's like no otherThank you Barbara and your entire team. Sarah

I went in to Whole Frog today upon the recommendation of a friend. Stormy gave me the one of the best massages I have ever had. Not only will I be back, but I will recommend everyone I know.

Zahava is a very skilled masseuse. i went back for a second round. Ive really never had such relief of my chronic back pain. This morning it still feel the relief. I absolutely wish I could keep going! I also learned some exercises to do on my own at home.

Barbara is an extremely gifted healer. I feel energized and revived after my bodywork sessions at WholeFrog, and am taught exercises to keep healing and strengthening on my own at home. I am always in awe of how good my body feels from a session here! Barbara takes excellent care to train her staff to support the process of self sufficient healing. Highly recommended for anyone experiencing pain and in need of a body and energetic alignment.

I was gifted a massage from friends and was not familiar with Whole Frog. I had an excellent massage with Gavin, he addressed my problem areas and was super knowledgable and a great therapist. Highly recommend both WF and Gavin.

Had a session with Gavin to address general tightness due to reduced physical activity through the pandemic, and especially deconditioning in my legs. 90 minute session included some targeted physical therapy exercises, and mostly deep massage of my calves and thighs. The massage was targeted, precise, and intense. I felt substantial relief of the tightness, and increased mobility for days afterward.

I have had numerous massages over many years, and this was perhaps the most beneficial massage I've had. I have scheduled another session and I expect that this will become a part of my regular routine over the coming months. Highest recommendation.

Wanted to give my parents a relaxing gift, and decided to try this place out. The customer service was super polite and very helpful with our questions since it was the first time for them. The service was excellent and they were very attentive towards my parents. They were gentle towards their health conditions and old joints, but still managed to massage and relax their body and mind. My parents cant stop talking about how great they are, how knowledgeable the staff is, and how good they felt after, they just can't wait to go back.

I had a new client 90 min treatment based on the recommendation of my chiropractor. The session was excellent and Bridget determined the best areas to focus on based on her pre-treatment interview and physical assessment. This was so much better than a spa massage and was truly therapeutic. I definitely will return.

This place is full of knowledge but I'm unable to access it because nobody will respond to my emails or follow through with their commitments. I was told that I would get detailed notes about the exercises discussed at my appointment, but I never received them. I was also told that I would not be charged until I spoke to Barbara about how to continue with treatment and which program to sign up for. Instead, I was charged $250 the very next day and never spoke to anybody about anything.

No discussion, no notes, no response to my multiple emails. I'm very disappointed that I spent $250 and got nothing out of it because I don't remember any of the stretches (I was looking forward to the email with instructions/notes) I sincerely wish that I had a different outcome and could leave 5 stars; because Barbara seems like she cares about her patients but her actions show me otherwise. I'm still in pain and feel like an idiot for being bamboozled out of $250.

100% felt so loved on by Bridget! It's been so very long since I've had a massage and I'll not do that again! Regular visits to Whole Frog are a must for self care. Have you ever had a massage with hot stones? Fabulous! Bridget took super great care of me for 1.5 hours. ( at first, I thought. do I need that long? The answer is yes!) This was hands down the best birthday gift to myself. I'll be back for more. You deserve the care that they offer. Thank you Whole Frog!

I was so happy with my experience at Whole Frog! I highly recommend Stormy- she was fantastic. She gave me a very personalized experience tailored to my particular needs and taught me some techniques to release tension and strengthen my muscles in my weak areas. The office was extremely professional while also being very welcoming and comfortable. Highly recommend.

My therapeutic session with Zahava was absolutely amazing. She found all the areas that needed attention and i never felt rushed through my session. I noticed immediate improvement in my functional range of motion.

WOW WOW WOW! Stormy is just so phenomenal! I broke my ankle in Novemeber and am just starting to walk again. My shoulders were so tight from using crutches, my calf and hips were sore and cramping from just starting to walk again, and my foot was so tense from not using it for 6 weeks. Stormy was so attentive to my needs, she really knew what pressure points to hit to realse pressure and yet was so gentle with my recovering ankle.

She taught me how to realse alot of tightness in my ankle and helped me gain alot more range of motion. She was truly a blessing, and we cant wait to book with her again! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with her!

As an athlete most of my life, with many related injuries, I often visited massage therapists over the years. Whole Frog offers a completely different experience beyond any I have come to know. I had the pleasure of meeting Stormy who proved to be quite knowledgeable on multiple levels. She looks to unlock the door to the root cause of discomfort and pain.

Her great skills range from massage therapy to myofascial release to very specific techniques/exercises that you can take home with you. The deep massage I received from Stormy was AMAZING and to top it off. she is so kind and caring. If you are looking for bodywork/massage that can actually promote healing and long term benefits, treat yourself to Whole Frog. I'm looking forward to my next visit! Thank you Stormy!

This was the first time I have been to Whole Frog, Zahava was amazing. She really listened to the areas that I was feeling tension and knew exactly what to do in order to release it. I've had many massages and I have to say her methods truly made a difference on my neck and shoulder pain and tension. On top of her abilities, she was very professional.

She made sure I was comfortable and the pressure was what I wanted throughout the massage. In terms of Whole Frog as a company, I have nothing but great things to say. I'm not sure what the lady's name is that I spoke to on the phone but she was very helpful and got me an appointment same day. I went to the Westlake location and it was fairly easy to find and it was VERY clean. 10/10 would recommend!

Wow! The best massage I ever had! Stormy met me at the door and was so warm and welcoming. She took the time to review all my information and asked me lots of questions about how I was feeling and trouble areas I was dealing with. She took the time to show me simple exercises I could do on my own to improve my joints and was genuinely interested in my wellbeing. And the massage - oh boy, the best! The facilities are very comfortable and clean. Soft music throughout the massage and just a wonderful, warm atmosphere! I will be back!

If you're looking for a massage that actually helps heal you, then you NEED to see Gavin. I had surgery on my neck almost 31 years ago and have constantly been in pain, sore, or just uncomfortable in my neck & shoulder area. I have barely had any range of motion with my shoulder which just gets irritating. I had a 90 min massage from Gavin and I. have never (and I mean NEVER) been able to move my shoulder/arm around so much.

It's still not perfect (because nothing is after only one visit) but I can already feel a HUGE difference! He is determined to help me because he cares so much about people and about what he does. I can't thank him enough for helping me and my road to recovery. Do yourself a favor and go see him!

And her team do an amazing job! My work requires hours standing and I constantly feel my legs and lower back in pain UNTIL I found the WholeFrog team! Here is how it works: You bring your pain to them and you get your life back! Easy right?

Thank you so much for being so caring and for the wonderful theraphy you provide. Amazing work. Therapists here are incomparable. So blessed I was able to discover and try this place.

Barbara is AMAZING! I've had leg muscle problems that I couldn't figure out for 15 years, which kept me from playing basketball all that time. After 3 sessions with Barbara in just a few weeks, I was back on the basketball court! I honestly never thought I'd be able to play again and as a long time athlete, that was devastating. But I've played two full seasons now at the age of 43, with none of the same problems I had before. The vitality and vibrancy I feel now is incredible. Thank you so much Barbara!

My experience here was amazing. Barbara is an exceptional therapist. She has a natural gift along with a passion for healing. I felt I was in skilled hands. She teaches as she works, demonstrating moves to use at home. I am looking forward to my future visits!

Wonderful! Barbara, knew all the sore spots and helped me with them. Plus exercise to do at home. I felt comfortable and at ease. I would recommend Body by Design to all my friends and family. It was my first visit and I signed up for more. Who doesn't want to feel their best? Helen Smallis

Teri is an amazing therapist, she always knows the right pressure points that are bothering me and I always walk out feeling so relaxed. The front office staff are just as great and always show a smile, friendliness and professionalism when you walk through the doors. Thank you all so much.

Barbara Arnold-Herzer is amazing at what she does. Not only does she give you a great massage but she is very thorough and suggests exercises to help you. I would highly recommend Body by Design! Hands down the best massage therapist!

I've been coming to Barbara off & on for about 3 yrs. Not only does she give the most amazing massages but her care and wealth of knowledge on so many of my health issues have been a life saver to me. I see her as my health advocate and friend. I know I can always go to her for advice and guidance. She gets A+ in my book. Thank you Barbara & also your wonderful staff!
