Somehow along the way, Barbara raised three children and ran an organic family farm outside of Boston, Massachusetts for over 20 years.

Barbara has always felt there is more to being human than maintaining parts of a machine and delved into searching for ways to pull things together into a meaningful gestalt.  How do we connect from the basic to the divine - our bodies, our psyche, our homes, our gardens, our cities, our spirit? In the course of this search, she has explored many paths, spiritual and alternative philosophies, and found HBB to be the most compelling and enriching. She achieved certification in 2012.

I am a Masters in Science prepared nurse practicing as an Integrative therapy practitioner. I am certified in: Healing Touch, Surgical Coaching (Beyond Surgery program),Clinical Aromatherapy, and  M Technique. My services are by appointment. Hours are flexible. I am an experienced consultant for Hospitals, Nursing and Rehabilitation centers, Home Care and Hospice. I am a member of the American Holistic Nurses Association and Healing Beyond Borders. I am recently published March 2015 in the International Journal of Professional Holistic Aromatherapy, article  titled “Introduction of Clinical Aromatherapy into a Community Hospital.”

Certified Six Sensory Life Coach, Empathic Spiritual Medium, Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, Personal Truth Counselor, Body-Talk Access Technician, researcher, writer, amateur musician and most significantly a modern day "Healing Shaman."

Using a holistic approach in all the Services I offer; I address all aspects of our human experience and Universal Lives, the physical, emotional, mental, soul purpose and Spiritual Paths; facilitating healing not only for individuals but most importantly for our “Mother” Earth and all her inhabitants.

I live and share my gifts and talents primarily in rural SW Virginia where my Healing Studio is located, however I travel extensively and have worked with individuals from around the world. I have provided a home for adults with disabilities, and served as a Licensed Direct Care Provider through an innovative organization that provides holistic home-based solutions for people with severe physical and intellectual disabilities since 1997. I have also cared for a wide variety of injured and abandoned species of wild and domesticated animals for over 40 years and have provided Sanctuary for them on my small farm “Blue Gate Sanctuary” since 1989.

I have been on an active ever expanding Spiritual Journey, seeking and walking the Path of my own Divine Truths since early childhood. My Empathic Mediumship abilities were accelerated in 1987 through receiving recurring distressed visits from my “deceased” father, whom I soon came to understand was trapped in an “astral web”, unaware of his own passing. In an attempt to help my father move out of his trapped state of consciousness, I was lead to one of my greatest teachers and mentors; who assisted me with understanding and learning how to successfully free my father, enabling his transition to his next destination of his own Divine Universal Journey.

What I have come to understand by my own Journey and expressions through my work, is that it is essential for those who wish to engage in their own Higher Spiritual Awareness to re-cognize, re-member and re-create their individual Truths, and that this will ultimately lead them to the Universal Truths of Light, Love, Wisdom and Power, and thus re-connection within the
Heart of The Great Spirit of All Life.

The intent of my website is to be a place where deeper information and resources can be found. The members section of the website will be a place where I will publish information about the Shamanic aspects of my “Light-Work” for those who wish to go deeper into rediscovering our indigenous gifts and abilities.

I have trained and received mentoring from many wonderfully accomplished people, to name a few, Tracy Reid (Hay House CEO), Cheryl Richardson (Hay House author), Sonia Choquette (Hay House author), Robert Brown (Medium, author), Echo Bodine (Medium, author), Deborah Larrimore (Healing Touch Coordination) and Charles J. Weiss (Metaphysician, author).

My thanks and gratitude go out to my close colleagues and companions and to all those who have walked the Paths of their own Truths before me, acting as Loving Guideposts for me along The Way so that I may too step out in Faith, Courage and Truth.

And of course lest I forget, I give Honor, Blessings and Eternal Thanks to all the Great Spiritual Beings, Elementals and Masters of Love who have blessed, supported and guided me each step of the way on this amazing Journey called Life!

In Loving Service

I AM
