Hi, I’m Barbara, 

Step into a community where your presence is not just welcomed; it's cherished.

The Gathering Place

A support group for those  impacted by sexual violence

 

Healing from sexual trauma can feel isolating, but you don’t have to walk this path alone. The Gathering Place  invites you to step into a community that sees you, hears you, and supports you in your healing journey.

 

You don’t have to do this alone.
Join a circle of survivors  healing together.

My Approach

As a Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach, I am committed to fostering a world where survivors feel seen, heard, and rooted in their authentic self. By cultivating safety, trust, and connection, I help clients move from survival to a life of embodied wholeness.

Key elements of my coaching practice include:

Resourcing and Grounding

Building a sense of safety by anchoring in the present moment and accessing internal and external resources.

Boundary Setting

Cultivating the skills to establish and maintain healthy boundaries that honor one’s needs and values.

Self-Regulation

Developing techniques to calm and soothe oneself during times of stress or overwhelm.

Mindful Movement

Using practices like yoga, breathwork, and guided meditation to release tension and deepen connection to the body.

Co-Regulation

Exploring how connection with others can foster feelings of safety and emotional balance.

Myofascial Stretch

Bodywork that focuses on releasing tension and trauma from the body's connective tissue.

Opportunities to Work with Me

Healing is a journey best traveled in the company of others.

Testimonials

Working with Barbara has been everything that I didn't know that I needed in this life. She is such a gentle spirit and has a way of asking questions that provokes the necessary thought to invoke change. Her Trauma Recovery Coaching has helped me with more emotional processing than years of training in psychology and therapy sessions. I am more aware of the energy that I give and receive because of her! I notice my thought process more because of her! While she would never accept any of this credit because she always says that it is me "doing the work." I feel safe to "do the work" because of her! ~D
