About Dr. Barbara Birsinger

Barbara Birsinger works primarily with women, who struggle with eating and weight issues, and she helps them to find peace with food, joy in their body, and meaning, purpose and passion in their everyday life.  Barbara is a leading thinker on treatment of disordered eating, with over 27 years of experience in the psychology of eating and weight issues, intuitive nutrition and health promotion. 

She is a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s Degree in Public Health Nutrition from the University of California at Berkeley, and a Theology Doctorate Degree in Spiritual Healing and Energy Medicine from Holos University Graduate Seminary, as well as an Ordained Minister in the International Church of Science of Mind. 

Barbara’s professional work began with managing health programs in hospital and medical settings, and later moved into private practice consultation with corporate executive and employee groups, national and local health care organizations, athletic, model and performing arts companies, health spas, schools and educational organizations, community groups and individuals.

Barbara is a contributing author in the reference textbook Health Promotion in the Workplace. Over the past two decades, Barbara has authored programs specializing in compulsive eating, weight obsession, Health At Every Size and body esteem.  Barbara has also worked with Intensive Outpatient Programs and Residential Treatment Centers for Eating Disorders and Chemical Dependency.

More recently, Barbara has been teaching and has authored trainings in the symbolic and archetypal meaning of hungers, food cravings and menstrual disorders. Much of her work is based on the cure and healing of her own eating disorder nearly 30 years ago, extensive research and clinical practice, as well as inspiration from many others with whom she has worked and shared experiences. Barbara’s innovative approach has been featured on radio, television, newspaper and magazines across the country.

Currently, Barbara resides in Sonoma County California, and is on staff with the Integrative Medical Clinic of Santa Rosa, the Community for Spiritual Living Well-Being Center of Petaluma, and the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa as Nutrition and Health Specialist.  Barbara is a consultant in private practice working with individuals, groups, and companies, in addition to conducting workshops and research, professional trainings, and developing innovative products for education and practice.
