~ Yvette, Psychologist, South Africa.(2006)
“I like to think of Barbara as an alchemist; that is what she has been for me. She has the enviable capacity to take raw internal chaos, to thoughtfully hold it in mind, to challenge and coax it, and to love it into transformation. I have for many years explored my depths through traditional psychotherapy, and being a psychologist myself I do trust in the process of patiently getting to know and integrating parts of self in the aim of healthier living, and I continue to do this. But I met Barbara at a time in my life when I just felt stuck, and no amount of self-analysis or scrutiny was shifting me from my place of pain and confusion. She so very quickly saw into me, and saw my need, which was to learn to know myself, be with myself and love myself in a way which allowed me to open new doors and explore new possibilities, particularly in relation to myself and consequently, in my relationships with others. I owe a debt of gratitude to Barbara. I have moved from a space of wishing for happiness in relationships, to a place of being in a loving and fulfilling relationship, both with myself and with my partner. Barbara undeniably has the gift of ‘seeing’, she also has an apprentice her powerful spiritual resourcefulness, but I think what made her so invaluable in my process of growth is her capacity to love, and her ability to use her own experience of fear and overcoming it, to guide me in overcoming mine.”
