People
involved in Spiritual Awareness Counseling are people
taking steps toward real change.
"I
worked with Barbara for several months to explore
some career and relationship issues.
She is an extraordinarily talented counselor! I was
deeply impressed with her gentle but very effective
approach. She has a unique ability to help identify
sticking points in a person’s behavior patterns
-- in a completely non-judgmental way -- while offering
a safe and loving environment to explore them. She
has a warm and generous spirit and yet is very focused
and skillfully hones in on what is important. I call
it “relentless love” and it works! I recommend
her to anyone who is ready to meet and get to know
themselves at the truest, deepest level."
Carole Johnson
"Some of the most profound and spiritual
peace I’ve
experienced has been at the invitation of Barbara.
She creates a warm and spacious environment
of loving inquiry allowing the truth in the moment
to be explored.
Barbara holds the space as it is and invites you
to reach, gently stretch, and drop into your experience.
My practice of thought and judgment has been released
and has shifted into an opening of essential self…feelings,
and heart. I now know joy, peace…and have the
ability to speak my truth with grace and deep loving
appreciation."
Jan MacAulay
"My
experience of self-inquiry is practically linked with
my experience of Barbara Reiner.
She has been a steady and clear guide who works most
abundantly from love. Barbara's presence repeatedly
has the effect of inviting my resistance to melt,
my curiosity to rise, and the resonance of truth to
be heard. This is a powerful strength that informs
her work. Her very being infuses me with energy and
a desire to commit to this path."

"Barbara
Reiner is an inner wilderness guide you can trust.
She is hands on and involved, staying with her clients
every step of the way. I think very
highly of her integrity in her personal and professional
commitment to this
work."
Jett Psaris, co-author of Undefended Love
"In my work with Barbara, I experienced her as
encouraging, supportive, kind, clear and direct.
Barbara also brought a sense of humor and lightness
to our exchanges. Within a spiritual framework, she
held the larger view and helped keep me focused. I have
unhesitatingly
referred friends to her and will continue to do so."
Michelle
Mills
"Barbara
Reiner, through her wisdom and unconditional love,
has helped me to make the choice of moving towards
being all that I can possibly be.
She
supports me while I explore new territory and helps
me to take risks without being attached to outcome.
Barbara, in her gentle way, insists on authenticity.
She does this through careful listening, thoughtful
and provocative questions and comments and relevant
homework.
I
feel held by her in my journey towards fulfillment."
Laura
Chase
"Because of her own integrity and commitment,
Barbara's presence is a consistent inducement to move
towards truth and compassion.
She assists this journey with skillful questions that
invite the personality's grip to loosen and consequently
allow an ever deeper exploration of what is essentially
true in the present moment. Her own direct experience
informs her work and is used to creatively catalyze
others to move towards a more intimate and loving
relationship with themselves. How Liberating!"
Ellen
Fishburn
"In
my work with Barbara, I have repeatedly found that
she knows intuitively where I next need to stretch
myself, and beckons me gently and lovingly to fully
inhabit that place."
