meet Barb 

When I was little, I believed in magic.

 

In my imagination, animals could talk, toys came to life and I could fly like a bird or a fairy.

I'd spend hours playing, creating and daydreaming.

 

As I got older, I became more aware of the expectations from my parents and the other neighborhood kids. 

Daydreaming was no longer encouraged, especially at school, so I focused on learning and obeying.

 

I had deep thoughts and psychic experiences but didn’t share them with anyone.

I didn’t want to appear strange or weird.

 

At night in bed, I huddled with an army of stuffed animals, frightened and unable to sleep because of the unknown energy that swirled around me. 

 

I felt and and questioned things that other people didn't. 

Sometimes I knew things before they happened, freaking out friends and relatives who then began to look at me differently.

 

In my teens, I tried to shut it all down.

I wanted to be normal, like the popular girls at school who didn't question authority, or spend their time reading and drawing.

 

I distanced myself from my creativity and my spirit and tried to fit in.

On the outside, I looked okay.

I had friends, relationships and thought I was having a good time.

But the good times left me feeling lost—and very alone.

 

It wasn't until my late twenties that I rediscovered my intuition, and realized just how valuable it could be for navigating the world around me.

​

In my thirties I married the man who I predicted at nineteen years old would come into my life.

He not only accepted my "weirdness", but encouraged and supported me.

Still it wasn't easy.

But, I persevered, with determination and humor.

Always, with humor.

​

I read books about past lives, mediumship and the paranormal.

I took classes and met others like me, who made my feel not just normal, but special in a way that felt completely natural.

 

As I developed my own gifts, I realized it was not just about healing myself, but helping others as well.

 

I trained in hypnosis, and past life regression.

I traveled to conferences, joined organizations and continued to learn.

I met and worked with spiritual teachers like Dr. Brian Weiss and Richard Sutphen.

and learned whatever I could.

I opened my own center and hypnosis school.

​

In the summer of 2010, I had an experience that cracked me wide open and shook me to the core. It was what I had been waiting for all of my life.

I developed my spiritual gifts rapidly, becoming clairvoyant, with the ability to see faces on others of passed loved ones, heavenly beings and past lives. I began connecting with spirit guides and angels, channeling messages of love and higher guidance.

​

I'm now living my life with a purpose that's exciting and inspiring.

I've found my "normal"—and yes, it's magic.

I think natural abilities are fantastic— we all have gifts and talents we're born with.

But I think it's also important to work with a trained professional who has put in the time and done the work.
