After several years of choosing an unhealthy lifestyle, coupled with an imbalance of mindless, physical and emotional states, Barbara found herself suffering in relationships, work and everyday functions. She began to exercise, learn about nutrition, manage her stress, and had quit smoking. Although her physical self was becoming healthier, she still hit rock bottom from a breakdown of burnout, perfectionism and exhaustion. Not until she addressed all the aspects of herself, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, did she transform her life into one of vibrant health and wholistic well-being. This journey is a long one, full of twists and turns as is each of our lives. No matter where you are on the path, Barb believes it is your birth-right to live in good health and to honor all aspects of WHO YOU ARE.
