New Age Retailer called Barbara's Personal Power Cards "one of the best recovery tools ever seen."

Barbara's current project, inspired by common threads of traditional energy healing, is a practical HOME GUIDE for the physical body called: Healing Touch Quick Steps® - 42 Powerful Things You Can Do Instantly to Bring Your Body into Harmony® because the body needs equal time for healing along with our spiritual and mental-emotional workouts.
