Barbara Schenk

After years writing software programs for corporate America, I started designing my own life to my own specifications. Now I am using my knowledge and training to help others - you! - overcome the often overwhelming challenges experienced in our personal and professional lives.

The Havening Techniques are fully incorporated into all of my practices, helping you determine and resolve what may be holding you back. 

As the creator of Your Natural Strengths, I help you clarify your innate natural gifts, align them with your core purpose and incorporate those gifts into your daily life in a way that helps you feel purposeful.

As a leadership coach, I specialize in aiding your transition into your best being - professionally, spiritually, emotionally. 

With Havening, we dig deep to find whatever it is that blocks and prevents you from moving forward, whether it be loss, stress, tension, fears, distress, troubling memories or managing the day. Then we build the resilience you need to heal and live into your best you.

I have worked via Zoom with clients from all walks of life, all across the United States and Canada, as well as from Germany, Spain, Australia, Singapore, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Philippines, UAE, Netherlands, Hong Kong.

In my spare time, my other passion is music. I sang with the New York Choral Society for 15 years, with performances at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Opera House, singing backup for Andrea Bocelli at Madison Square Garden and singing live on NBC's The Today Show.  Internationally I've sung at San Marco's Cathedral in Venice; Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris; in Shanghai and Bejing, China; and on China's Great Wall.

I have been a choir member and organist in my local congregation since the age of 12, and have been the music director for the past 13 years.

I look forward to working together with you to step forward into your best you.
