Her interest in culturally informed, integrative, whole-body practice has led her to work with adults interested in developing a therapeutic relationship that can facilitate emotionally transformative experiences.

Dr. Barakett’s curiosity about the mind - body - spirit connection continues to fuel her ongoing education focused on integrating and releasing unconscious emotion on all levels, and on tapping into one’s innate ability for healing.

Kyana’s passion for the profound healing animal relationships can provide started at a young age, spurring over a decade of fostering and rehabilitation for cats and dogs. These relationships created a deep reverence for the living ecosytems we all inhabit as animals and all facets of nature are compassionate, keenly attuned witnesses in the healing process.
