"Barbara and her music have the capacity to open people
to the rich heart space that is so essential to real meeting.
She has helped me in so many ways as I've spoken to people about
the power of conversation.
She has helped set an inspiring and inviting tone at the start,
then accompany people into the space of deep dialogue, then help
us celebrate at the end. She adds an essential and joyful dimension
to my work with large groups."

Barbara McAfee's inspirational music and song-writing are
truly blessed things. Ranging from bluesy ballads to soul to achingly
personal folk songs, her music portrays the simple and profound
truths of human life: love, friendship, dance, the importance
of putting heart into everything you do. She is indeed a clear
channel for all that is creative, life-affirming and aesthetically
joyful.

whole enchilada.’ We really enjoyed her!

Barbara’s time at Orlanu Therapies was truly wonderful.
She created the exact experience I envisioned for my staff, patients,
and friends.
Michele Rozansky
Owner, Orlanu Therapies
Barbara has a great talent for recognizing where people
are holding back physically, in their breathing, and in their
voices, and guiding them to let go and discover the power of which
they are capable. As an executive coach I have introduced clients
to Barbara to work on these issues. They consistently report,
and I observe, that they not only learn new and deeper ways of
leading, but that those changes are sustained over time.

Barbara is a sage who helps unlock what is inside of me.
I begin to understand my potential, not just as a singer or leader,
but as a human being.
