About Barrie

Hi, I’m Barrie — it’s lovely to meet you. I’m a Reiki Master Teacher, holistic nurse, aromatherapist, and herbalist with a deep passion for healing the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. While my formal Reiki journey began in 2019, I felt called to energy healing many years before that. In many ways, it has always been part of who I am.

I spent much of my career as a flight and critical care nurse, working in some of the most intense and high-stakes medical environments alongside extraordinary teams. That experience shaped me deeply and showed me both the power and the limitations of modern medicine. I often witnessed people whose emotional, energetic, and spiritual needs were left unmet, even when their physical care was excellent. Reiki became the bridge — a way to offer healing beyond the physical body and to support the whole person.

I spent several years practicing at Reiki Levels I and II, offering Reiki to patients, clients, animals, and within clinical settings. During this time, I was consistently recognized by those I worked with as a deeply intuitive and powerful healer, known for creating meaningful energetic shifts, deep relaxation, and a sense of peace. In 2021, I was honored with the DAISY Award for Nursing Excellence at Cedars-Sinai, recognizing my compassionate care and the integration of Reiki into patient healing. Later that year, I completed my training as a Reiki Master Teacher, deepening my practice and ability to guide others on their healing journeys.

Approach to Wellness

My approach to wellness is grounded, intuitive, and shaped by years of clinical experience. I believe healing begins when the nervous system feels safe and supported — when we slow down enough to listen to the wisdom of the body and spirit.

This belief is deeply personal. In my own life, I integrate daily self-Reiki, aromatherapy, and mindful movement, including yoga, to support balance, resilience, and inner calm. These practices inform the way I work with clients, allowing me to guide sessions with presence, intention, and a deep respect for the body’s natural rhythms. In each session, I create a peaceful, compassionate space where energy can move freely and restoration can unfold naturally.

Fun Fact

When I’m not working, I love spending time by the ocean, skiing, and creating things from scratch. As a Southern girl at heart, I enjoy making my own bread, wine, cheese, and custom aromatherapy and herbal blends. I also once owned an organic farm — an experience that deeply shaped my connection to nature, nourishment, and intentional living.
