Barbara Sparks MA, RN, BS
I believe God – not me – is the healer. The health promotion services I provide are simply aids to help you help your body heal itself – just as God designed it to do.
My Academic Background includes undergraduate degrees in both Nursing and Health Education, a master’s degree in Health and Wellness Counseling, a certificate in Nutrition, a certificate in Health and Wellness Coaching from Harvard Medical School and a certificate of training in Aleph-Tav Body Systems from Dr. Alphonso Monzo III. In addition to these courses, I have taken many bodywork classes in the United States and as far away as China at the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing.
Highlights of my professional Career History in health and wellness include being the Senior Health Coach for Lenovo – the largest computer company in the world, the Diabetes Prevention and Management Director/Educator for Wake County in North Carolina, a Health Educator for the Council of Independent Colleges of Virginia, a Disease Management Consultant for Anthem, a Registered Nurse in both hospital and private health care settings, and a licensed massage therapist with a private practice in Virginia for many years.
I have never considered any of my positions as just-a-job. All have been personal missions to help people live happier healthier lives as Designed FOR HEALTH is now.
