I'm Barbara Ptak, and I help over-givers remember to give to themselves.

You’re the one other people look to when something goes wrong.

Partner lost their keys? Kidlet’s shoelace untied itself right when they have to leave for band practice? Coworker forgotten how to make a spreadsheet for the sixteenth time this week?

Here you come

Keys in hand, ready to tie the shoelace, steeled to give yet another patient explanation.

You’ve spent so much of your life looking after everyone else’s needs, that you’ve hidden your own away.

You’re not even sure what you need beyond oxygen, a real night’s sleep, and a hot beverage before you talk to anyone in the mornings.

Your soul knows though. It knows you need:

  • Healthy relationships that feel easy as a deep breath of cool air – no more feeling unheard or unappreciated.
  • Confidence in your ability to ask for what you want - no more burying your own desires under that pile of things you “ought” to do for others.
  • Trust that the universe has your back – no more feeling disconnected from your spiritual self.
  • The motivation to go after that secret dream, the one other people said you were silly for pursuing – because now you get your validation from yourself, not others.
  • A clear sense of your next step – no more panicking and turning back just in case something goes wrong.

Problem is,

putting your own needs first is hard when you’re so used to caring for everyone else.

It feels like peering down a dark corridor, afraid to go on yet not wanting to go back.

​You can’t imagine what it will feel like. 

You're not sure you're even allowed to step forward.

Let's turn on the light together.

I use a process known as Soul Genesis™ to read the soul information stored in the Akashic records. 

​In other words, we dig deep into the treasure trove that is YOU. The highest and brightest parts of your soul have a message for you.

This message is a guidebook to yourself:

  • What your soul needs, and how to ask for it.
  • The pitfalls and obstacles that come up again and again on your path, and how to overcome them.
  • The scars that need a little extra TLC, and how to heal and care for them
  • Your strengths and magic powers, and how to use them.
  • Your true voice, the one that’s gotten buried under caring for everyone else in your life, and how to strengthen it.

You don’t need to “be your best self.” You’re already your best self.​


You just need to remember that – and I can help you.

What others have to say...

"Barbara is amazing! It was like someone handed her a "guide to me" for her to read from, she was so accurate. I felt refreshed and much clearer after our session, and much more understanding of myself and my own inner workings. There was a lot of joy and laughter in our session - Barbara really made me feel at ease and comfortable to talk to her about myself."

"As I discover new ways to learn more about myself, my place in this Universe and my journey on this earth, I am always touched by new layers of me that are uncovered. Since opening the door to these mysteries I have peeked around it with cautious eyes and one hand still on the knob ready to slam it shut if it gets too scary… However, the Soul Genesis reading pushed that door wide open and the path on the other side is now clear. Thank you Barbara, for helping me unveil my true self."
