Barb is lifelong seeker of fitness and natural wellness. She finds joy in helping people relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and achieve an overall feeling of well-being and “able-bodied-ness”. She is a certified Thai Bodywork Practitioner, trained at the Coaching The Body Institute in Evanston, IL, where she learned to integrate modern Trigger Point Therapy into a traditional Thai assisted yoga session. Barb is also trained in Neural Reset Therapy (NRT), a non-massage muscle energy technique that can quickly relieve tight muscles and improve range of movement. Having received a variety of physical healing modalities for muscle and joint pain, she experienced the most benefit from Thai bodywork, and felt inspired to pass on this gift of healing as a tribute to her late mother, who suffered undiagnosed pain for many years.

Barb was an engineer in a past life, and easily blends a practical, mechanical systems approach with the gentle work of subtle energy and human compassion. A firm believer in the “motion is lotion” mantra, Barb strives to live a full, active life and help others do the same.

In her free time, Barb enjoys BMX racing, vegetable gardening, choral singing, playing percussion, and spending time with her family and pets.
