Barbara currently works as a self-actualization coach, has led workshops in creativity, meditation, and sand play, and taught classes on developing personal style. She is also a cabaret performer.
As a Nepalese Youth Foundation volunteer, Barbara helped start the Ankur Center, the first child guidance clinic in Kathmandu, Nepal, where she teaches and trains on a regular basis.
Barbara is a teacher and trainer of bulyying prevention in the Taos Public Schools as well as Taos Pueblo. She also has a bi-weekly radio program (KXMT in Taos, 99.1) in which she teaches parenting skills to her listening audience.
