Barbara Doone is known to most folks by her longtime affectionate nickname “Bekkah”. Bekkah got into massage therapy following a couple of decades of personal health challenges which spurred her quest to explore and learn a variety of holistic healing and massage modalities to support and enhance traditional medical approaches to healing, pain relief and wellness.
Bekkah obtained a BS in Elementary Education from the University of Maine at Farmington, as well as an AAS in Business Administration Management and Marketing and an AAS in Occupational Therapy Assistant from Kennebec Valley Community College. Bekkah is also a Certified Nursing Assistant, and formerly trained and served as an Emergency Medical Technician. Bekkah graduated from The Panacea School of Integrative Health with a certificate in Massage Therapy and is licensed by the State of Maine.
While running her practice, Bekkah continues to attend training on a regular basis to expand and broaden her knowledge in the area of Massage Therapy and learn new modalities and techniques that can assist her clients in meeting their wellness goals. Bekkah is committed to providing her clients the highest quality of care available.
