About Barb

Aside from experiencing my spirit soar while dancing or meditating, two of my greatest joys are spending time in nature and I spending quality time with friends. My work-life covers 2 areas: facilitating women heal from the pain caused from violence against women and facilitating women learn self expression thru the art of middle eastern dance.

I've been working part time at a local not for profit agency, Support to Single Parents Inc., since the Spring of 2005. I am the coordinator for the Peer Support & Social Action program. It's a volunteer driven program that offers one-on-one support to women victims of violence and raises awareness on this issue in the community. I also co-facilitate a group called Changing Patterns for Rebuilding a New You for women who have experienced an unhealthy abusive relationships. I am grateful for my experience working with people in this environment: those who work at the agency, the volunteers, the people in other agencies in the community and the ones who come to us for support.
