Barb has been a true inspiration in my life. I first went to Barb seeking truth, meaning, and spiritual guidance. She gave me unconditional acceptance, and provided me with tools to create and implement a daily spiritual practice...one that I could claim as my own.  This daily practice has been a grounding source for me and has helped me discover an inner strength I didn’t know existed. While remaining compassionate and sensitive, Barb challenges, encourages, and supports me to dig to the depths of my soul for answers. She listens openly and provides silence when silence is needed.  With Barb’s help and from her own example, I have learned what it really means to live an Authentic Life, and I have found the courage to be my True Self. Thank you Barb for bringing Light to my life!!

You have helped me to see that stepping into my power takes belief in myself and my abilities and trust that God is always walking the path alongside of me.

You’ve been on my mind a lot lately…and it brought back memories of my sessions with you and I realize what a major turning point in my life that was.  You were instrumental in guiding me along this path...in helping me to fulfill a dream I didn’t even know I was dreaming. For that, and so much more, I am incredibly grateful. Thank you.

Thank you for listening to me and offering me such unexpected abundance:  I had no idea a mentor, you, could open me up to so much in such a short time.  I am filled with gratitude.

Barbara is like a mirror for me to express myself.  She reflects back often in the form of a contemplative question or a simple, direct comment which gives me pause to think.  I appreciate her sense of humour and her compassion.  Barbara encouraged me to honour my values and truth and I appreciate her use of metaphors which I find are like exclamation points that uncover my ‘aha’ moments!

Barbara forever changed me and my life.

I arrived at Barbara’s doorstep feeling anxious and powerless, wondering if I would ever feel content with my life. Through our work together, I have found the means to move through my fears and feel more active in my life, initiating changes that allow me to live in a way that is truer to who I really am! I now feel contentment, one moment at a time. Thank you Barbara!

The name, Authentic Lives, captures the essence of Barbara’s work. She coached me in seeing that my own power increases as I line up the details and actions of my life with who I am. And that recognizing and expressing the deepest values of my heart give me my joy in living.

I view Barbara as a seasoned business professional who provides guidance and adds dimension to one’s personal journey. She utilizes a variety of techniques when helping others achieve their personal best. In addition to creating a safe comfortable environment, I was impressed that I was required to take ownership and demonstrate accountability for the process. After all, I was the one who wished to grow!

I recall about 4 or 5 years ago, contacting Metropolitan Church of Toronto, wanting someone to talk with, and, God sent me Barb.  Barb and I had a great chat the first day we met, and I will never forget her telling me that I needed to follow God’s path for me.  There was so much going on, that I did not talk about, and now, I really have someone to talk with that I can TRUST other than God.

What a blessing each memory of your support, gentleness and spirit are to me.....again and again and again and again.

Thanks for being an Earth Angel that blesses me with compassion, friendship and words of loving wisdom.  Humble Thanks and Appreciation for walking with me on my path of life!

Having Barb as both a spiritual and authentic life coach has been a wonderful and rewarding experience. With an ability to focus on my strengths and her gentle approach, Barb challenged me to take a closer look at my life and work balance, spiritual issues and values. Her coaching has allowed me to become more consistent in taking actions that are in line with my personal values and spiritual beliefs. Barb’s coaching helped me challenge perceptions and become aware of God presence in all things and all people.

By asking the right questions and “mirroring” me, Barbara walked me through a logical process of self-discovery…now I work for me instead of the money!

Barbara is an excellent choice for anyone who is undergoing transition in their lives that requires a sensitive, interactive approach to support them on their journey.
