My Journey
If you are looking for tools, community, and support on your journey, you are not alone.
My name is Barbara Schellenberg. I have been on a journey of awakening since my early twenties. I am trained as a chiropractor and early on in my schooling, I found a deep calling to work with children, so I found myself immersed in anything and everything to do with kids. I studied cranial sacral technique to alleviate the trauma of childbirth, N.E.T (Neuro emotional technique), gentle instrument techniques like Activator and Torque Release Technique, as well as acupuncture and being a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. I have learned a tremendous amount about how the body, mind, and energetic field work.
I am the mother of two beautiful, highly sensitive girls and currently live in Florida with them and my husband. I am highly sensitive myself, so I’ve lived this journey from the intensity that a highly sensitive person does. It’s not easy! Since I was a little girl, I remember dreaming about how magical it would be to be a mom. I would imagine rocking my baby and basking in the awe and wonder of the mother I would be someday. Nothing could prepare me for the deep pain of the moment when my dream shattered. I realized I was not the mother I dreamed I would become. In fact, I was so far from it, I didn’t even recognize her. I felt like I was the complete opposite. I heard myself saying and doing everything I swore I wouldn’t do. I yelled, I blamed, I shamed, and I got angry. I felt it as a deep pit in my stomach as my guilt skyrocketed, and I cried in desperation. I was devastated. I felt like a total failure. Have you ever experienced a moment like this?
I want to share with you that this moment of awareness, acceptance, and complete vulnerability can be the greatest blessing we can have as a parent.
As gut wrenching and painful as it is, this is the exact moment we know we need to seek help. The help is here, right now, waiting for you, and it’s way easier than you think.
What I didn’t know is that I was not alone, and neither are you!
Through my own relationships and especially my children, I have experienced the reflective power of the mirror and how deeply it disrupted my world, yet at the same time provided me with the most amazing opportunities to heal my childhood. My parenting journey has blessed me with countless challenges that have been my greatest gifts of discovery and healing. I have studied literally all the parenting techniques out there, and many are very useful, but to truly Transcend, we must go deeper than “techniques.”
I know sometimes you feel alone. You feel unheard, misunderstood and even unsafe in your own home. I see you; I hear your call for love, and you are not alone. I will help you decode your child’s call for love and help you see that it is also your own. The magic is in the process of distillation of the symptoms. “Bad” behavior is a symptom of an imbalance. The goal is not to change the behavior, but to grasp the opportunity to connect, rebalance and receive the beautiful message that behavior is holding for you. When the lesson is learned, the teacher is no longer necessary.
My destiny is to facilitate a conscious parenting revolution to have a positive impact on the consciousness of humanity; I invite you to join me on this mission.
