Ultimate Self-Care: A Holistic Guide for Strength and Balance in Changing Times (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781982239473)

Since childhood, Barbara Halcrow was naturally inspired to support, encourage, and help others, and, it was through a near-fatal accident, that she was redirected to begin her life's work as a Social Worker, trainer, and healer. She received her MSW from the University of Manitoba. On this healing and teaching path, Barbara traveled to diverse urban and rural communities in British Columbia, Manitoba, and the Yukon territory in Canada, as well as Seoul, Korea. Her work primarily involved the areas of child protection, domestic violence, sexual abuse, mental health and addictions, and most recently, in adult/older adult health care. Barbara held many leadership roles across the health care continuum in acute care, rehabilitation, and community care sectors. Spiritually, being an intuitive, empathic person, Barbara always felt a strong connection to the beauty and power of nature, the realm of spirit, and the vitality of the loving energy that flows through all of life. Over the years, this deep connection led to further spiritual development and energy studies at home and abroad. Barbara Halcrow studied at Stansted, England's Arthur Findlay College of Spiritualism and Psychic Sciences. She also trained in several levels of the Melchizedek Method from the Kamadon Academy, Australia, and further received certification in Reiki healing in Vancouver, BC. Barbara has also completed a course in medical intuition from the International College of Medical Intuition, Inc. in British Columbia, Canada. Barbara believes that by offering ourselves more conscious love and self-nourishment, we will gain in personal strength and resiliency. She also acknowledges that by embracing gratitude, compassion, and forgiveness toward ourselves and others, we will enhance our ability to move forward in our sacred life journeys with increased clarity in our direction and purpose. This clarity can create swifter, positive changes in our lives, and in turn, we can more positively affect the lives of others, as well as the health of our earth.
