About Barbara

“Inspired at a young age by my father’s love and compassion for animals, I began my passion and concern for the well-being of animals.”

Barbara’s first educational experience with energetic therapies began in the year 2000, with Reiki, a Japanese energy healing system.  She continued to explore other energy modalities and in 2005, began her training in Healing Touch for Animals® (HTA), an energy medicine therapy.  As she practiced these techniques, she was able to see the positive impact on a variety of animals.

She completed her HTA training and certification in 2008 and became a Healing Touch for Animals Certified Practitioner (HTACP).  Her continuing studies of energetic therapies include the Usui Reiki Master level, Animal Reiki, and CranioSacral Therapy.  She also incorporates the use of Color Light Therapy, Sound Therapy and Essences in her practice.
