More about Barbara...
In 1988 at age 34, after a near-death experience, 5 days in intensive care, and a serious strep infection, Barbara J. Semple was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis. Back then there was little known about how to help a person dealing with rheumatoid arthritis. From this challenging period of deep soul searching, Barbara came forth choosing life, love and joy. And, she says a funny thing happened after losing everything in the prime of her life while being forced by her body to pay 100% attention to it. "The more present I was with my body's needs and care, the more I felt a sense of wholeness and spirituality. My body has taught me a lot about living with ease and grace," says Barbara.
"I've made it my personal mission to help as many people as possible start
applying and experiencing this profound touch of healing self-help because I
have benefited tremendously from these very same and very powerful Healing
Touch Quick Steps. I feel in
my heart of hearts that Healing Touch Quick Steps are the easiest routines
you can do to encounter dynamic healing results in the shortest time."
One of my greatest joys is teaching people therapeutic self-healing touch. I was deeply sick when I found healing touch therapies. Before getting sick, I had spent about 16 years making my way well up the ladder, so to speak, in the corporate world, having been director of marketing, and having a one person marketing and PR firm. Then a critical illness suddenly and dramatically changed my life path.
Let me tell you what happened. In my physical prime, I was a high-powered account exec selling bar code hardware with a million dollar sales quota to Fortune 500 companies. My shoes matched my purses that coordinated with my custom-made suits. I played racquetball five or six days a week. I played tennis. I was an avid downhill skier. I loved playing in the snow. I was very Type A, very physically active.
Out of the blue (to me it seemed out of the blue, in reality I was in a period of deep stress) came a serious strep infection and the diagnosis of severe rheumatoid arthritis. I was immobilized with debilitating fatigue and visibly red-hot joints. I felt totally betrayed by my body and God, anyone who certainly must not have taken very good care of me. I felt completely and utterly alone and hopeless. I couldn't stop crying. I'd never heard of rheumatoid arthritis and had no idea then that it is a serious autoimmune disturbance. I was 34. I lost everything. I could not take care of myself. I had to move back in with my parents and my dying grandmother. A dear friend made my car payments for nine months because I couldn't work.
 My immune system kept knocking me down while the meds to treat the disease were as harsh as the disease itself. Can you imagine? How would you feel if you were in your physical prime and you could not get up or down off the toilet without someone helping you? You are using one of those armrest kinds of rolling walkers to walk because you have no strength in your hands or legs. I felt like I was dying. I'm pretty sure I was.
One autumn day I began studies at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, California, which was an arduous task for me then. I went to learn a variety of
complementary healing methods to help myself with the difficult Western medicines I was taking. I'd come home from class feeling exhausted. Sometimes I even cried as I was driving home. I cried a lot back then. During my first practice session at an introductory class for the healing art called Jin Shin Jyutsu®, I felt like I'd been lifted off the massage table and transported into some profound healing place, though I remained totally still on the table. For the first time in over two years of pain and suffering, I felt that I might actually get better! I had hope again. That day everything shifted for me.
If I could have this great an experience in one practice session from a student putting her hands on me, that student who knew nothing about the art, how much more could I benefit from really getting into this art? This is important because you too can have your own profound healing experiences and you do not need to be a trained practitioner to encourage your own harmony. You can influence healing with your own fingertips and hands. I created the Healing Touch Quick Steps HOME GUIDE because I wanted my clients to have this extraordinary self-healing information in the most understandable form. Now you can have it too."
"Barbara Semple is an innately sensitive healer with a sense of humor and keen intuition. She is a powerful healing touch practitioner and a powerful presence.

Anita, Dancer, Yoga Instructor
"A healing touch session with Barbara is a special gift. Insightful and nurturing, she inspires growth on many levels. Her gentle touch helps restore balance and brings beauty and light [into my life]." Barbara J., Middle School Science Teacher
Usually a person finds Healing Touch Quick Steps because his or her body is hurting. Often times an individual calls for help when nothing else has produced relief or the doctor says she cannot find anything wrong. So while the person is focusing on relieving the pain with this self-help or with a complete healing session, he is delighted to find his mental, emotional and spiritual aspects are happier too. See Praise for some specific stories. Does that sound good to you?
May you experience a sense of wholeness and deep peace in your life, now and always. Consider checking out my Healing Touch Quick Steps HOME GUIDE self-help program. Instantly begin helping yourself. Really.
Blessings,
Barbara J. Semple
