Profile
Joshua Barr’s heart-centered approach to healing combines bodywork, sound healing, the ancient science of Varma therapy, Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, and Reiki. His 20+ years of practicing healing work has given him a unique and holistic perspective of mind-body balance.
At 25 years of age, Joshua suffered a stroke resulting in complete weakness of his left arm and leg. The doctors predicted he would never use the left side of his body normally again. This experience propelled him to explore alternative healing methods to regain his strength. He pursued acupuncture, massage, Reiki, yoga, meditation and Ayurveda as his own healing tools, and ultimately, healed that which doctors determined was unchangeable. He was so inspired by the results of his personal transformation that he dedicated his life to learning these healing techniques to help others.
Joshua’s training includes time in Buddhist monasteries in Thailand and Cambodia, Hindu ashrams in India and studying with the Siddha masters of South India. He lived and studied with his beloved Guru, Sri Sakthi Amma, in Tamil Nadu, India for nearly a decade. Sri Sakthi Amma taught him the ancient use of sound for healing. This journey transformed his life and expanded his understanding of the intricate systems of the human body, mind, and spirit.
After training with master healers from traditions around the world, Joshua has developed his own style of healing centered around bodywork, meditation, sound healing, and compassion.
