About Me

About Barbara 

A little bit about me:
 
My 18 years of management experience led me to creating Your Empowered You! My unique style is a combination of being well grounded and results oriented with a true passion for empowering people to achieve whatever goal they set while having a bit of fun along the way! I LOVE seeing people challenge and stretching themselves outside their comfort zones to accomplish anything they think they can do while being empowered and proud of themselves for overcoming any perceived obstacle.  To help support and mentor/coach people is truly my calling and passion. EVERYONE HAS SO MUCH POWER to accomplish whatever they want in their career, health or anything! 

Yep…I 100% completely believe that!!

My core values:
Ease, Peace, Freedom, Abundance, Love, Harmony, Balance, Success, Empowerment

My mottos:
Keep it simple, get to the root of the problem, be open, honest and transparent, do not assume, treat everyone with respect, embrace diversity in all forms, be accountable for 1) your results, 2) your perceived reality and 3) your life, and finally...don’t sweat the small stuff.

One of my favorite sayings by Henry Ford:
"Whether you think you can or can't, you're right."

The Reiki Path:

It started around 2004 when I had a yearning to really understand how the universe worked. I knew there were rules and I wanted to learn more so I could just abide by those rules to make it easy! Lo and behold, I stumbled across a few teachers and learned more about The Law of Attraction (LOA). As the saying goes, "when the student is ready, the teacher arrives"! Over the next few years, I learned more about LOA and how quantum physics and neuroscience work to manifest our goals.  I definitely gravitate towards modalities that are EASY and FAST! Like most people, I want fast results! We live in an instant gratification world so I wanted the seek out the fastest way from point A to B! Reiki is a modality that helps in so many different areas producing amazing results with clients. I infuse other modalities into my Reiki sessions since they all tie into the universal energy to promote quick results. I am a fan of distance healing and virtual options since a person does not need to spend time traveling to an office. Since I am attuned to do perform distance Reiki, it can be done anywhere in the world and is just as effective. 
 
I hope you receive all you want from the services offered. My goal is to help facilitate success and empowerment with as many people as possible as quickly as possible!

The world is our oyster.
