I'm Barbara.
I've helped hundreds of clients restore their nervous systems,
re-align their physical bodies, and choose peace of mind.
Hello!
Born, bred and eventually injured as a dancer, I learned what I offer through years of self-discovery, healing injuries, working through anxiety and immersive study of the human form and nervous system.
After 25 years I’ve compiled educational healing tools. I’ve siphoned through what works and what doesn’t. I make healing clear, so I can offer you bite sized bits of wisdom, tools and resources to learn to heal your body, mind and spirit.
When I was little, all I knew was I wanted to perform. I wanted to sing and dance and make people feel good. My soul was probably most aligned with Broadway show tunes or comedy, but I found myself in the realm of classical ballet. This led to a lot of performing, AND a lot of performance anxiety, perfectionism, and injury.
After making it to what I thought was the absolute top, New York City, I was blessed with a debilitating injury. My dance career ended and my healing journey began. The most important thing I learned….
YOU HEAL YOU
I was told a million things along the way. I was told I could never dance again. I was told I needed surgery. All of this stoked my inner rebel and I became determined to heal myself. With an incredible support system by my side (thank you mom and dad) I learned another forever lesson.
FOLLOW YOUR GUT
I followed my inner knowing and worked with incredible teachers and healers. I learned how to HEAL MYSELF by LISTENING TO MYSELF. Our bodies tell us EVERYTHING we need to know, if we are empowered and shown how to to listen.
Early in my recovery, I knew I needed to give this to others. I got curious. I studied human form, Pilates, yoga therapy, functional movement, and bodywork methods. I started helping people heal.
In 2007, I started coming up against road blocks in my own growth and in my clients’. I needed more. An x-boyfriend suggested the Art of Living, a community and program focused on meditation & well being. So, off I went to work with myself. I found my breath. I learned the work of true meditation and the mind through holotropic breathwork and immersive coaching programs.
I learned that there is no separation between the physical and the emotional. THE BODY HEALS AS THE HEART, MIND AND SPIRIT HEAL.
If you're holding emotion, you're holding pain.
Many of us just need the right tools to heal the WHOLE body. We just need someone to show us the way and give us the tools. I have these tools for you.
Let's unravel your pain patterns together. My work is highly focused on moving pain out of the body and healing repetitive patterns that are keeping you unwell, injured, in pain and in stress.
If you're in pain, overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next or how to move forward...book a discovery session with me.
In Gratitude to all of my teachers...
Thank you for involving and inspiring me...
