Barbara's journey into natural health started when her first child became ill and spent weeks in hospital. This motivated Barbara to investigate the cause, find a remedy, and live a lifestyle that would prevent this from happening again. At 26, Barbara embraced Christianity and this put her on a new path to look at the human body from a creationist point of view as opposed to a product of random un-controlled evolution. Our bodies are intricately designed with all its inbuilt mechanisms to self-heal! Barbara was particularly inspired by the health writings of Ellen G White.

Barbara’s interest in health led her to study and obtain a Diploma in Naturopathy and later as a Nutritionist. Barbara’s healing success springs from the knowledge of the body’s ability to heal itself, and then working ‘with’ the body to achieve the healing response. Currently the Health Director of Misty Mountain Health Retreat, Barbara’s great passion and life work lies in educating people in the correct health principles that lead to longer, healthier, and happier lives.
