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."
