Barbara Sparks is the founder of Health Coaching With Barbie. Her one-on-one approach allows for individualized attention and personal detail to lifestyle and wellness changes. Her desire as an accountability partner is to develop confidence in her patients and show them their true potential as they move from overwhelming fear to empowerment. Barbie's passion to serve others stems from years of suffering herself, with no real answers during her years as a Radiology/Mammography tech and busy mom. She, as well as her family, spent many grueling years in and out of doctors' offices and emergency rooms. Finally, a sweet friend introduced her to Functional Medicine! She spent endless days and nights learning about this path that led them to where they are today, happier and healthier. She decided to make it official and enrolled in Functional Nutrition Alliance! Barbie is now a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and is ready to teach everyone she meets how all the body systems work together to promote healing and inner peace.
