Hello!
I'm so glad you've found me! My name is Barbara Buck and I'm an intuitive healer and IFS coach. I've supported thousands of people since 2000 with their healing and learning process. I trained at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts as an energy healer, life coach, and hypnotherapist, and have spent decades honing my craft and supporting people spiritually, physically, and emotionally. I've studied somatic IFS with Susan McConnell and certified as an IFS coach with Connor McMillen. I've also recently been honored to join Richard Swartz's IFS Circle program to go into an even deeper dive with the Internal Family System model.
I started my own personal healing journey when a beloved pet became ill and I looked for an alternative means to help her heal. I was also ill at the time, but it took her healing to push start me into my own journey. I have always been a skeptic, so I have to see how things work before I dive into them. Energy healing, and IFS have been a big part of my journey, and I'm grateful to be able to share these things with you.
My own journey has made me a better conduit for healing. Stepping out of the way and holding space for others has become an effortless process, which allows my clients to get the most out of their experience.
I am committed to helping people to reconnect to Source and Self energy, embracing their personal power and life path, and to finding grace and healing where they least expect it.
I hold a safe and non-judgmental container for people from all walks of life and beliefs, and I embrace you with open arms when you step into it.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey.

Why Internal Family Systems Coaching?
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) within life coaching creates a powerful blend that addresses both the mental and emotional aspects of personal growth. Here’s how this approach can benefit individuals:
​
-
IFS coaching is great for everyone and can support you with all aspects of your life, whether it's finances, creativity, relationships, or projects you’re struggling to complete. It can even help with the spiritual aspects of things. Perhaps you want to work on your intuition, but find that you’re blocked, or you don’t know what your life purpose is. IFS coaching can support you with these things, too!
-
Internal Family Systems Coaching can help you explore your inner parts and emotional landscapes and help you to better understand your underlying motivations, fears, and desires. This emotional awareness is crucial for meaningful changes. When IFS is combined with coaching, it can help you translate these insights into specific, actionable goals, which can make it easier to implement change in your lives.
-
IFS is self therapy. You can learn to recognize and dialogue with your parts, which will lead to a deeper understanding of what drives your behaviors and choices. With this self-knowledge, you can set goals that align with your true values and needs, rather than external expectations or fears.
-
IFS encourages compassion towards all parts of yourself, including those that may feel critical or defensive. This self-acceptance can enhance confidence and motivation in pursuing goals. Understanding the roles of critical or fearful parts can help you address self-sabotaging behaviors, making it easier to stay committed to your objectives and heal on an even deeper level.
-
IFS can help you learn to identify what triggers your emotional responses, which makes it easier to respond more effectively rather than react impulsively. With the support of an IFS coach, you can create practical strategies to manage and heal difficult emotions that may be keeping you from your hopes and aspirations.
-
When we choose to move toward our goals, we can have polarized parts that have conflicting needs and desires. We can often get stuck or frozen, distracted, or exhibit self-defeating behavior. This happens because our parts don’t agree and one or more will step in and try to “help” by keeping us from success. They often don’t want us to suffer from disappointment or have different ideas based on past experiences that are no longer a part of our life.
