Working with Barbara was a very insightful experience. I am the type of person who looks for immediate answers and solutions to my issues, not wanting to 'sit and reflect' on some experiences, however, working with Barbara definitely instilled the need to take a step back and see what certain events mean to me. She not only was an active listener, but her responses were accurate and resonant with how I truly felt. I found her to be an extremely compassionate individual and teach through the lens of the heart, not the mind. I myself am quick to get caught up in the mental gymnastics of certain issues, especially emotional ones, and Barbara had a profound ability to take me out of my mental body and into my emotional body. I sought her help when I was at the peak of a stressful time in my life, completing university, a bureaucratic process abroad, moving home, and seeing many changes in my life and personal/romantic relationship(s). I felt like I needed the help of someone who could give me the tools to stay calm, regulated and most importantly to soften myself in times when I needed it most yet found it nearly.

I found Barbara very calming from day one. She listens, and will often take me back to a point or an issue I mentioned some time ago and give me a tool or a better way of thinking which has truly helped me deal with my negative situations better.

Barbara was very welcoming, relaxed, professional and very easy to talk to.
