I’m Barbara Horsley (formerly Barbara Loomis) educator and practitioner of abdominal therapy. I’ve worked with thousands of bellies and each one is uniquely beautiful and has a story to tell.
I’m constantly curious, I love studying anatomy, physiology, and herbal medicine as well as biomechanics of natural movement. I have a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching people how to care for their reproductive and digestive organs. What lights me up is to see people connect with the inner beauty and wisdom of their bodies.

“Thank you Barbara for being such a beautiful spirit and healer on my path. You’ve made such a difference and continue to in so many ways that I can hardly express. Thank you for being such a blessing in my life.”
“The menstrual cycle following my treatment was not only pain-free, it was lighter and lasted two days shorter than usual. Overall, the two sessions with Barbara left me feeling more grounded and in balance with my body, which was very empowering.”
