about the author
Barbara Rachlin Sklar
Author · Hypnotherapist · Spiritual Explorer
Barbara Rachlin Sklar is a writer, healer, and lifelong seeker of truth whose work bridges the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of human experience. With a background in clinical hypnotherapy and a passion for past life regression, Barbara brings a rare depth of insight to everything she creates—whether in the therapy room or on the page.
Her debut memoir, The Dots of Life, is a deeply personal exploration of the 7-year cycles that have shaped her evolution—from a free-spirited tomboy in 1950s Miami to a spiritually awakened woman who’s traveled the world, navigated heartbreak, built successful businesses, and faced illness and betrayal with grace. Her second book, Body Memories, dives into the realm of ancestral trauma and past-life remembrance through the lens of fiction, inspired by real visions and spiritual breakthroughs.
Barbara’s work is grounded in the belief that nothing in life is random. That we are all here to grow, to heal, and to awaken to the patterns— “the dots”—that connect us to our purpose. As a hypnotherapist, she has guided countless clients through spiritual and emotional healing, using tools like regression therapy and intuitive insight to help unlock what lies beneath the surface.
Over the decades, Barbara has continued to follow her inner voice, whether it led her to open a business, travel solo across Europe, or dive headfirst into a vision that defied logic but felt undeniably true. She writes with humor, honesty, and a fearless commitment to exploring the unknown.
Barbara lives with an open heart, a curious mind, and a soul anchored in the belief that healing is possible—at any age, in any lifetime.
