Licensed Professional Counselor:
Barbara’s approach is much more than “talk therapy”. Her clients often say “you are so different from any other counselor I have been to…you don’t just sit and listen….you teach me tools and techniques to make my life better.
Exactly ! Clients learn how their thoughts are affecting their emotions and reality. Clients grow to honor and embrace their uniqueness while learning to set firm, gentle boundaries. They learn to transmute negative emotional energy in positive ways so they can walk their everyday lives with more peace and grace.
Barbara works with people who are experiencing Relationship Issues. She works with adults, parents and teens in an integrative way. She teaches powerful tools and techniques that can be used for a lifetime.
Certified Mind, Body, Spirit Practitioner:
As a Mind, Body, Spirit Practitioner Barbara understands and teaches we are co-creators of our lives. We are all energy with a unique vibration. Barbara assists you in understanding the mind, body, spirit connection.. which cannot be separated. In order to heal, the imbalance must be addressed at every level…Mind, Body, Spirit. Everything is composed of energy…Everything. Therefore, Barbara teaches energy awareness and how you energetically create your reality with your thoughts. She teaches you how to change your limiting beliefs about yourself, how to grow into a different perspective about your life “story” and create a new “story” that supports your empowerment.
Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist:
Clinical Hypnotherapy is offered to those people who want to experience stress reduction, smoking cessation and/or weight release through hypnotherapy. People learn tools during the hypnotherapy session they can use in their daily lives to reinforce their goals.
Access Consciousness Bars® Facilitator:
Access Bars® is a tool that facilitates a different way of functioning on the planet. For trillions of years human beings have functioned from the density of their thoughts, feeling and emotions. This is what people have made valuable. There are 32 points on your head, which, when gently touched, effortlessly and easily release anything that doesn’t allow you to receive. These points contain all the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, emotions and considerations you have stored in any lifetime. This is an opportunity for you to let go of everything! Barbara utilizes this technique in her sessions to help people clear their limitations. She also teaches Access Consciousness Bars® classes to those who would like to learn this powerful tool.
What else is possible? How does it get any better than this?
Many years ago I began my own personal journey to heal my wounds created throughout my life…..”my story”. Quite frankly, I was exhausted from repeating my toxic relationship patterns. I was ready to take a journey inward, to change my limiting beliefs, heal my emotional wounds and create a new, more conscious way of living. Thus, began my own very personal…often painful….healing journey to create my new “story”……a story not based on my past……..a story created with conscious choices and possibilities far beyond what I have ever imagined.
This journey of mine took me to many places. It taught me how my thoughts attract what I experience and mold my reality. I learned how to release my limiting beliefs, change my self-talk and shift my perceptions. My introspection revealed my emotional triggers and how they affected my life by automatically emotionally reacting rather than being able to “choose” my responses. I experienced very different outcomes in my relationships and I viewed myself much differently when I realized the power of my ability to wisely choose my behavior without the entanglements of my past emotional triggers. I learned confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of power while creating my new “story”.
This is why I began working with clients. There is no greater joy for me than to walk with someone on their journey while creating their new “story”. I began as a “talk” therapist offering people tools and techniques to help them change their thinking, toxic behavior patterns, release their emotional blocks and shift their perceptions. As I evolved I added many new tools and techniques to teach people to use along their journey. I now understand that everything is energy. I began offering Emotional Freedom Technique to help people move the energy to release their toxic emotions. Eventually I learned to help people protect their energy from energy “vampires”, how to cut energetic cords along with many other energetic tools. Most recently I began offering a powerful approach called Access Consciousness Bars sessions to help people shift and change areas of their lives by gently touching 32 points on their head.
A client told me recently, “After working with you I have learned to trust myself. I learned so many great techniques on how to get in touch with my own feelings and how to deal with situations. I am so much more confident than I have ever been. I live my dreams without fear, anxiety or doubt. I boldly take on new challenges both personally and professionally. I am strong, independent and accomplished. I emerged from my experience working with you with a new understanding and power I didn’t know I had. I would not be the person I am today if it were not for your services.”
I invite you to begin your own personal journey with me…. to consciously create your new “story” filled with infinite possibilities. What Else Is Possible ?
With Ease, Joy & Gratitude,
Barbara Christine Haines, M.A.Ed.
“Barb gave me the tools I needed to move forward and become stronger. She taught me that I had the skills and courage to “fix it” myself. I am stronger, happier and I have forgiven the people who hurt me. I have moved way, way forward and I am a healthier person in my head and heart. Barb opened my “eyes”/mind to the fact that the universe is a big place and anything is possible.”

The Basis of Life is Freedom.

The Result of Life is Growth.

“I marvel at the Universe & how it conspires for us. Having just had a very successful surgery, I found myself feeling judgmental & jealous of others. I just couldn’t seem to shake it. One day when I was feeling low I saw a posting of Barbara’s Access Bars sessions. This was exactly what I needed ! Barbara is a kind, gentle healer & this session left me feeling relaxed & at peace. The judgment & jealousy has disappeared. I am amazed !”
