Raised in the southwest corner of Florida alongside her identical twin, Barbara came to know early the nature of reflection and relationship. Her BFA in Art & Design refined her eye for form and pattern, informing her way of seeing the body as an intelligent, communicating system.

After becoming a licensed esthetician, she recognized a disconnect between conventional skincare and the body’s natural capacity to heal. Her apprenticeship with master holistic esthetician Emma Graves at the Brooklyn Herborium shaped her approach, grounding her in methods that support the skin without force or overcorrection.

Her work integrates training in Body-Mind Centering, herbal medicine, advanced energy work, and somatic embodiment. She focuses on how the skin reflects and responds to physical and environmental stress patterns, and overall health.

Barbara offers a cultivation of self-healing that inspires transformation of habits and restores harmonious exchange within oneself and all of life, grounded in truth, nature, and simplicity.

She offers Holistic Facials, Consultations, Coaching, and Medical Qi Gong from her Silver Lake studio in Los Angeles, CA.
