Barb Konotopsky
Shaman, Reiki Master, Certified Sound Bath Practitioner, Spritual TeacherI am a Certified Reiki Master, a Violet Flame Reiki Master, intuitive healer, meditation teacher and coach, and sound bath practitioner. My approach blends ancient wisdom with modern energy healing techniques, creating a safe and compassionate space where clients can release emotional blocks, restore energetic balance, and experience deep transformation.
For more than 17 years, I have been on a profound journey of self-healing, transformation, and spiritual awakening. Through life’s many transitions and experiences, I discovered that true healing begins within. Each chapter of my journey has deepened my understanding of the mind, body, spirit, and the incredible resilience of the human soul.
My path has led me to train as a Shaman in the ancient Peruvian Medicine Wheel tradition, where I learned sacred teachings that honor our connection to nature, spirit, and the wisdom of our ancestors. These practices continue to guide my work, helping others reconnect with their authentic selves and awaken their own inner healer.
Whether through intuitive guidance, Reiki, meditation, shamanic practices, or immersive sound healing, my intention is to support each person’s unique journey toward healing, clarity, empowerment, and spiritual alignment. I believe every individual holds the innate ability to heal, and my role is to help illuminate that path.
The Healing Power of Sound
Sound baths are a deeply restorative experience that uses the vibrations of crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other sacred instruments to promote relaxation and energetic harmony. These vibrations encourage the nervous system to shift from a state of stress into one of rest and renewal, often helping to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, support emotional release, and cultivate a profound sense of inner peace.
The human body is composed of approximately 60% water. Because sound travels efficiently through water, the vibrations produced during a sound bath can be felt throughout the body. While many people describe experiencing a deep sense of resonance and relaxation, it’s important to note that claims about sound directly “changing” the water in the body or producing specific biological effects have not been conclusively established by scientific research. What is well supported is that sound-based relaxation practices can help calm the mind, reduce stress, and support overall well-being.
My intention during every sound bath is to create a sacred space where healing frequencies invite the body to relax, the mind to quiet, and the spirit to remember its natural state of balance, peace, and wholeness.
“Healing is not about becoming someone new—it is about remembering who you have always been.”
Lorna Penner
Registered Massage Therapist, Shaman, Certified Sound PractitionerI am a compassionate wellness practitioner whose journey began more than eight years ago when I became a Registered Massage Therapist. While studying and building my practice, I discovered that I was highly empathetic and sensitive to the energy of both my clients and the spaces around me. This awareness inspired me to begin a personal path of growth, self-discovery and healing, guided by both modern therapeutic practices and ancient wisdom.
Drawn to a deeper understanding of holistic healing, I trained under a shaman versed in the ancient Peruvian tradition of the Medicine Wheel. I completed the Medicine Wheel three times, culminating in a transformative journey to Peru. There, I spent 10 unforgettable days participating in ceremony and working alongside High and Master Shamans. I visited sacred sites, including Machu Picchu, and immersed myself in the teachings, traditions and energies of the Andes. During this journey, I deepened my understanding of shamanic practices and received High Rites from Master Puma.
Inspired by my experiences in Peru and my growing understanding of energy medicine, I continued expanding my practice by becoming a certified Sound Bath Practitioner. Through the therapeutic vibrations of crystal singing bowls and other healing instruments, I create immersive sound experiences designed to encourage deep relaxation, support emotional release and promote energetic balance and alignment.
By blending my knowledge of the body through massage therapy with shamanic healing and sound therapy, I offer a unique, heart-centred approach that supports the whole person—body, mind and spirit.
I believe true healing begins when we reconnect with our innate wisdom and create space for transformation. My intention is to empower each person I work with to rediscover their inner strength and embrace a life of greater peace, balance and authenticity.
