Barbara Herbrandt
I am Barbara, born in Germany but living in Spain and Ibiza for 32 years, the last twenty-seven in the countryside of Ibiza. I worked for many years in film production but have always been interested in people’s health and wellbeing. I feel that the body and its energy have a great impact on the self and the soul.
I always believed that there had to be something beyond the material and visible.
So, I started to focus on the body and to work on strengthening its energy with different therapies that I have studied, including Craniosacral Therapy, the Grinberg Method, the Metamorphic Technique, and Holistic Massage, and, finally, Reconnective Healing and the Reconnection. But only when I approached breathwork seriously, studying with Alchemy of Breath becoming a breathwork facilitator, I realised that everything I had learned until then I could integrate into this practice.
I have been practicing now for 22 years, 4 of them Conscious Connected Breathwork and I have seen optimum results with my clients and even with myself as a result of these varying therapies.
I love to dance the 5 Rhythms, and I am trained in Reajuste Vital which is a shamanic dance practice working on the chakras. Dancing like this is Conscious Movement, which connects us with our body, our emotions, and the Earth and is commonly known as the ‘dance of life'. So let’s be dancers of life.
After a forced break of almost 2 years, due to multiple fractures after a heavy car accident (in 2020), I am back now with love and passion for life, to spread these powerful modalities and hold space for others in their growth and healing journey. If you feel called don’t doubt to contact me.
My philosophy – My approach to healing
My approach stems from the idea that the body can achieve its own homeostasis and naturally wants to heal itself. It is only necessary to remove the blockages that we create, consciously or unconsciously.
Homeostasis is the natural function all living organisms have to find inner balance and to maintain a healthy relationship with the environment in which we live. We live in close relationship with all the elements in our environment and we are, by birth, predestined by many patterns to seek and obtain everything we need to satisfy our needs.
Human beings are designed to perform these dynamics through processes in which three fundamental energetic forces work together: feeling, thinking, and acting. Any alteration, whether within ourselves or without, triggers a reaction involving emotions, thoughts, and actions intended to redress the imbalance suffered and to restore the conditions in which life can be maintained.
Often these reactions change our emotional, mental or physical structure, creating new pathological patterns or physiological and psychological blocks that break the normal conditions of wellness and health in which we were created.
An emotional impact affects thought patterns and behavior and also changes the physical structure of a person, in the same way, that an accident with physical consequences, also affects mental stability.
Reconnective Healing and the Reconnection, in particular, as well as bodywork integrated into Conscious Connected Breathwork, helps our body and mind to regain the ability to self-regulate and increase our healing potential.
