Holistic Health Coaching That Resolves Root Health Issues
Unresolved health issues are often the root cause of health and sleep issues. Dr. Barkins helps you get 'unstuck' with clear explanations and steps to take to become healthier in body and mind.
As a physician-trained nutritionist and health coach, Dr. Barkins acts as a health navigator and educator. She is an expert at detecting the root cause (functional medicine), even in complex cases. Her holistic approach is based on 35+ years of experience with thousands of clients.
The root causes of current or hidden health issues investigated to solve your health puzzle. The UNSTUCK proprietary method focuses on health first: restoring balance in the body and mind, not just treating symptoms. Clients who are interested in self-help benefit most.
Health is rebuilt through tailored diet, nutrition, stress reduction, lifestyle alignment, body/mind exercises, and other holistic methods that work in conjunction with your current conventional treatment.
Sleep Coaching That Goes Beyond Common Strategies
You've probably been through sleep training and testing. If you had minimal results, this may help you. One consultation is usually enough to pinpoint the problem.
Unstuck sleep methods use pattern recognition (connecting the dots) through interview and system analysis to uncover emotional, mental, energetic, and physical stressors so they can be addressed. Natural remedies and finding the underlying cause of the sleep imbalance will tranform your days, and your nights.
43% of Gen-xers report poor sleep quality
50-70% of seniors have poor sleep quality
Without good sleep, your body can't heal.

Linda D.
"For nearly five years, I lived with broken sleep. It would take over one and a half hours to fall asleep, I'd wake up several times a night, and often lie awake for what felt like forever. It was exhausting and discouraging, and I started to believe that good sleep just wasn’t possible for me anymore. Sleeping pills left me lethargic the next day, so I decided on a holistic approach. I met Dr. Rabia Barkins and it's amazing, after two phone sessions I'm able to sleep well, consistently, and regained my energy! Surprisingly, my good sleep even maintained during 2 months of major stress in my life.
The consultations addressed my specific needs. With a mix of gentle exercises, a few key natural supplements, and changes to my habits. Now, I fall asleep easily, and when I wake up during the night, I’m able to settle back into sleep instead of staring at the ceiling for hours. I recommend Dr. Barkins to anyone who has sleep issues."
Frank. R.
"I highly recommend Rabia for those seeking holistic health solutions. I have been working as a healthcare professional for many years, and I could not pinpoint the underlying causes on my own, but Rabia's methods have been instrumental in finding the origin of the problems. I already noticed improvement after the first session.
Body-mind exercises and lifestyle improvements that she has suggested have made a big difference to the recurrent headache related symptoms I have had. I also found that her incorporation of the Emotional Freedom Technique and her intuitive skills have been quite helpful to improve my health. The follow-up sessions have been helping to positively shift recurrent stress related patterns."
Jacklyn G.
"I did not have sleep or health problems when I consulted Rabia- it was an emotional blockage. I was stuck in life. She used her methods to find the underlying cause of the lack of balance in my life. Rabia also helped me change my life with Emotional Freedom Technique. Her intuitive health coaching helped me become aware of emotions that blocked me from taking care of my health. I also learned how and why I make decisions that are not always in my best interest.
I followed Rabia's recommendations which included nutrition, lifestyle changes, and emotional awareness clearings. My life changed immediately. I found a more suitable living space easily, some new gig jobs came my way, and I improved my health habits so that I can prevent future health problems. My work and life are more balanced and I'm much happier as a result."
Ann B.
"Unstuck methods have reversed my sleep problems. I had spent five years trying everything, and not having any results. Rabia's custom sleep coaching helped me sleep within weeks. Previously, I had sleepless nights, woke up often, and it took hours to fall back asleep. I also have moderate sleep apnea that wasn't completely fixed with a cPAP. After Rabia's input, sleep apnea is not keeping me from sleeping anymore. Rabia's methods made a significant improvement and so far, the results have lasted over the past two years."
Cathy S.
Janice C.
"I’m so excited! Everybody who knows me notices a change. I’m so grateful for the help from Dr. Barkins that I can’t even believe it.
I read all the books and got all the vitamins for self-treatment. You can’t do it for yourself. You need someone to hold your hand. I couldn’t do it, I tried. After treatment with Dr. Barkins, my stomach isn’t gurgling anymore and I’m not constipated anymore. I am healthy, now. I’m doing this 100% for as long as it takes. I know this treatment is good for me.”
“Thank you Dr. Barkins for encouraging me to do specialized testing. Finally, I have a clear picture of my health issues for my digestion and with my hormones.
Thanks to you, I am no longer out there trying to find the correct diagnosis.”
About
My interest in holistic medicine started after college. I was working with special needs children. Some were injured by a toxic drug that led to deformities and handicaps (Thalidomide). I learned about the potential adverse effects of some pharmaceuticals and I was drawn to learn about natural remedies, nutrition and natural healthcare. I realized that we can prevent and reverse many health issues with diet, exercise, stress relief, and natural remedies.
I went back to college for 4 years for a Doctor of Chiropractic degree (healing the nervous system through the innate intelligence of the body) and a Nutrition Certification for physicians (2 years)- including lab testing, herbs, natural remedies, diet, and lifestyle.
I teach free local classes to help others learn about self-care with holistic health and how to make better health decisions with their primary care doctors and for self-help. Our bodies are resilient if we know how to care for them. I help private clients to navigate the holistic and conventional healthcare options to choose the best treatments.
After learning from my own personal experience, CBT, and other studies, I became a specialist in sleep. I have helped myself and others with health and sleep, especially when conventional methods did not work. My mission is to support others to be the best version of themselves and to restore health and happiness.
When I'm not helping clients, I am hiking in the redwoods, playing with art, Qigong, writing, reading.
Yours in Health,
Rabia
