“I met Barbara at a difficult time in my life. I was getting used to being a college student and I needed help staying centered amidst the chaos of life. In the few years that I’ve known Barbi, she has always been a light at the end of the tunnel. When I needed guidance or support, she was there.”

Alex, college student

“Though acquainted with meditation and mindfulness concepts, Barbi’s teaching melted away mental barriers which had prevented my full experience of practice. Her instruction is amazingly multi-faceted and complex without seeming so.  She conveys the essence of difficult topics with ease and her genuine interest in each person is evident.”

Elizabeth, professional
