Barbara Hudak is a Registered Nurse, Licensed Massage Therapist (Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork), and Reiki Master Practitioner-Teacher.  In December of 2008, Barbara was inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing^®, Beta Upsilon chapter, closely affiliated with Arizona State University. For over 25 years, she has been dedicated to assisting individuals on their healing journeys through her nursing profession.  Her nursing career began in the U.S. Air Force, where she served 12 years on Active Duty, and currently is serving in the inactive Air Force Reserves.  She maintains her nursing skills on a part time basis at a world-renowned medical center in Phoenix. Her clinical expertise includes medical, surgical, intensive care, recovery room, emergency department, flight nursing & administration.   

Her father's death in 1994 was a catalyst for change and growth.  Throughout her nursing career, she had been subtly aware of the difference between "healing" and "curing", but Barb began to realize that a holistic nursing approach resonated with her.  Healing encompasses more than the absence of physical symptoms; healing may occur in the absence of a physical "cure". In 1996 she, and her husband Stephen who was also on active duty, were reassigned to Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix.  It was during their first year in Arizona that she discovered Reiki and embarked on a personal spiritual journey.  Over time, she learned techniques that could assist with healing "root cause" core emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic issues that frequently, if not always, underlie physical "symptoms". 

In her private practice as an active Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner of over eleven years and Licensed Massage Therapist of over nine years, Barbara shares messages of healing, self-empowerment and  inspiration to her clients as she encourages them to become conscious of, and gently awaken, the powerful healing potential that lies dormant within each of us.  Conscious awareness of our self-healing capability is an important step in lovingly understanding and embracing well-being on all levels.  Barbara believes that we are "hard-wired" with "heart -focused antennae" (kind of an early warning system). When we begin to trust this wisdom, and listen to our heart, we will never be led astray.  It is our responsibility to discern the information that our body is sharing.  In order to perform at our best, we must maintain our system (similar to maintaining our car) - our body needs a periodic "tune-up" & "balance", on all levels.

Passionate about sharing the message of self-empowerment during her classes, Barbara encourages attendees to accept, honor and give thanks for their own personal life journey, since it delivered them to where they are today.  Perceived challenges or struggles are often necessary for spiritual growth and self-rediscovery.  Without an occasional rainy Arizona day, it is easy to take the beauty and warmth of our glowing sun for granted.
