Bio and Contact Information

Who is Kathryn Barr and Abounding Health?

I have been working in the alternative health field for almost 20 years. I began studying herbs and homeopathy when my children were small and I wanted an alternative to drugs and OTC medicines. Studies included numerous classes and seminars, independent learning, and working with other practitioners in an apprenticeship type learning environment.

Training as a birth professional included numerous classes and seminars with other doulas and childbirth educators, along with years of independent study and five years of midwifery training with the Association of Texas Midwives midwifery training program.

The Titus 2 Birthing material and certification programs came about because there I had a desire and numerous requests from other birth professionals for a faith-based program for labor support and childbirth education that included option-based materials, homebirth materials and vaccine safety information. Titus 2 materials have been presented and used for more than 10 years. Workshops have been presented from coast to coast.

Training as a Breastfeeding educator was received from the Texas DSHS Brestfeeding Training program offered through the Texas Breastfeeding Initiative. As a former brestfeeding mom and a birth professional, I believe that breastfeeding is a valuable gift for both mom and baby.

Many of the modalities I currently use as a traditional naturopath were part of the training I received as a birth professional. Others modalities were things I became interested and pursued independent of that focus.

Abounding Health is the vehicle I use to practice what I know to assist others to reach new levels of good health and wellness. It covers a variety of activities and educational offerings.

In addition to my alternative health work, I am an ordained minister through Servant House Ministries. I currently serve as a chaplain and chaplain coordinator at Unity Church of Dallas.
