Barbara King has been in love with fashion for as long as she can remember. At the age of 5 she was organizing her drawers and showed an extra added interest in creating the perfect outfit. Growing up her love for style and looking great didn’t fade it only intensified and motivated her to attend fashion school. After graduating she happily plunged into the exciting and colorful world of fashion and style. She headed straight to big cities like New York City and Los Angeles to gain experience, knowledge and inspiration about the fashion industry.

STYLE - Barbara took a leap of faith when she became an entrepreneur in 1995, starting her own fashion consulting business. She has been helping people organize their closets, shop the fashion trends and find a style that best works for them ever since! She has a passion for helping people identify the perfect colors and styles as well as mixing and matching accessories with favorite pieces of clothing that bring together the ideal look for a busy individual that doesn’t even know where to begin when it comes to the contents of their closet. Barbara has the ability to walk into a closet and understand where a person is and where they want to be and help them find the path to getting there. She does everything from helping them purge the old and outdated, to understanding what clothes fit best for their shape, to where to shop for what pieces as well as what to look out for. She’s great and helping people find exactly what they need on their specific budget!

BODY - Even before jumping into the fashion industry, Barbara was always aware of her body and she took a special interest in fitness. She understood at an early age that in order for clothes to look great and fit great we must take a special interest in caring for our bodies and keeping them healthy and fit. She hasn’t always loved working out but she loved the feeling after a great workout and even better than that, she loved finding the perfect dress that always fit just right! Over the years she tried different forms of exercise in an effort to stay healthy and in her search she discovered her love for Yoga. Today Barbara teaches both spinning and Yoga classes but it’s the Yoga that has helped her develop a great sense of spirit and helped her grow as an individual. Her love for Yoga isn’t only in the fitness part but also in the grounding, the relaxation and the inevitable connection to God. Barbara gives both private and group Yoga classes in which she guides her students into stretching their bodies and strengthening their muscles while entering a meditation of positive thinking, self love and harmony with all.      

MIND - Through the years of working with a variety of individuals Barbara has come to understand that beauty is a gift that comes from within and that fashion is only the outer layer. In her years of style and fitness she discovered that looking great in pretty clothes and having a fit body didn’t equal beauty in an individual if they didn’t feel beautiful from the inside. She slowly began reading books to help her understand the psychology of the human mind and why some people just can’t find happiness no matter how much material wealth or physical beauty they might have. She experienced a time of great hunger for knowledge and wisdom and fed this need for more as often as she could. Time and time again she witness people not really being happy or beautiful even after going through the process of fashion consulting or getting fit. There was something greater missing and she recognized that even in her own life. She had a constant longing and yearning for more. In time she came to understand that the mind is a powerful part of our existence and we much each take the time to understand our own personal belief system and make the necessary revisions that can put us on the path to success. Today Barbara offers Life Coaching and helps people understand what’s blocking their happiness as well as guiding them into a path that leads them to finding their purpose and passion in life. She enjoys being an inspiration and motivation for others and believes everyone deserves to be successful, healthy and happy!

Balance – After starting her coaching career, it didn’t take long for Barbara to put the pieces of the puzzle together and understand that people tend to shop and eat based upon their thinking and feelings of the moment. She continued to work and study and clearly saw the relationship between the way we feel and think to the actions that follow and the results however undesirable they may be. She understood that people can have the best of intentions and still end up in the wrong place or space because the path wasn’t right and if we only work on one part we will only get partial results. She couldn’t help but get excited as she understood that each part is connected and that the secret to happiness is finding a balance in the three – mind, body and style! Today Barbara has created a unique and special blend of her three favorite passions and joyfully guides people into creating a better version of themselves via Life Coaching, Yoga classes and Fashion Consulting.
