"My deepest gratitude to Barbu and his work. I came to him suffering from a concussion after a car accident, and since receiving Cranioisacral from him I feel amazing! Barbu can sense what is happening in my body and has helped me release tension patterns that I thought were permanent, while also holding space for my grief and trauma to heal."
-Matt
"Barbu is the real deal—a kind soul and a powerful healer, and one of the most present and purposeful humans I’ve ever met. I tell anyone that’s important to me about him. After 10+ years of practice at studios across the country, he’s my hands-down favorite yoga teacher of all time, and his cranial work totally blew me away. I felt supremely calm and at peace beyond words, and look forward to my next session with him."

-Arianne
"As a bit of a fitness nut I’m prone to over-training and my pain shows up in my neck and shoulders. I have tried many different healing modalities (massage, physical therapy, etc), but only once I started to work with Barbu did I begin experiencing real relief. His gentle approach helps my nervous system calm down so real healing can happen. He’s truly a master healer. His work is invaluable and has enhanced my overall sense of health and well being. Thank you Barbu!"

Welcome

Welcome! I am an experienced holistic health practitioner, mentor and group facilitator. I've been holding a caring space for people to heal and do their developmental work for twenty years-one that can hold the complexities of identity, age and the many forms of conditioning that impact us all. Over the past six years I have been focusing on helping people that are suffering from concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries, and have been incredibly successful in supporting their full recoveries.
‍
If you have been in a Motor Vehicle Accident I can submit a superbill to the insurance company, and almost always get my clients reimbursed for the work we do. Craniosacral Therapy is great for any injury, for overall nervous system health, and treats a wide variety of ailments like anxiety, insomnia and TMJ.

Pricing Accessibility & Inclusivity

I have been an activist for many years and care deeply about social transformation. I believe that excellent healthcare should be available to everyone, everywhere, and am opposed to price-gouging for basic services like touch, caring attention and deep listening. To that end, I offer a sliding scale. I have received training in better ways to hold the bodies and experiences of BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and other-abled bodies, and continue to learn through direct relationships with folks that have different backgrounds and identities than me.

Sessions are priced at $130, but I will gladly meet people where they are able to pay. At the same time, I have trained for thousands of hours to become excellent at my craft, and encourage folks who can, to pay my full rate so I can continue to offer discounted work to those who can't.

"I was experiencing almost total hearing loss related to a severe flu. Within hours of treatment by Barbu my hearing was back and over the weekly visits it has improved to be better than it has been for years. My overall well being has improved beyond what I would have envisioned including reduction in allergies, improved bowel function, higher energy and mental peace. Barbu is an extraordinary practitioner and as effective in his healing at a distance as in person."

-Theo
"Craniosacral Therapy was new to me and I embraced it with an open mind knowing I could trust Barbu as a healer. Being able to relax fully and have him guide me through breathing and visualization has helped me to release tension held within my body. I’ve also felt the trauma from past experiences release during these sessions. For days afterwards I have a deep sense of being centered with a clearer mind. I highly recommend Barbu and am thankful he shares his gift of being a healer."

-Trish
"Barbu started craniosacral therapy with me a few months ago. He is a trusted, kind, and gentle professional therapist. Whereas my cognitive therapy was based on verbal communication, craniosacral sessions are more experiential. I can feel past stressors, not so much as thoughts but as a presence in my body. With Barbu’s brief suggestions and using his techniques, we are able to locate past and present stress areas in my body and release them. I always feel incredible afterwards."

Craniosacral Therapy

I've trained with one of the world's best teachers to become a highly skilled Craniosacral Therapist. Biodynamic Crabniosacral Therapy calms and optimizes the central nervous system, allowing the whole body/being to relax, make healing shifts and integrate what's changed. BCST allows clients to feel supported and connected to something greater than themselves when otherwise they might feel alone and isolated. Craniosacral Therapy can shift the way that bones and tissues are connected into better alignment, releasing the unwanted stress that can come from misalignment and nerve impingement.
‍
BCST also helps clients heal from mild to severe Traumatic Brain Injuries and Post-Concussion Syndrome. I help people coming out of motor vehicle accidents because I know how to treat the sensitive systems of those people, working gently and without excessive force. Best of all, I am generally able to obtain reimbursement for my patients by submitting a superbill to the insurance company-a huge benefit after an injury from car accident.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

In addition to Craniosacral Therapy I've been renting out a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy chamber for folks to use in their homes, who are recovering from concussions, cancer, surgery, Epstein-Barr and Lyme's Disease. Athletes know the incredible benefits of HBOT and can boost healing, stem cell production and mitochondrial health through regular usage.

So what is HBOT? It is a medical treatment in which a patient breathes 93% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, allowing the lungs to take in much higher levels of oxygen than would normally be possible, including hyper-oxygenating blood plasma. This enhances the body's natural healing processes by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, fighting certain infections and stimulating formation of new blood vessels.

I rent a small chamber (8' by 3') and offer consultations, installation and remvoal, and support throughout the process.
