Since joining Barbara’s practise over 6 weeks over, I can safely say that this is the most optimistic I have felt in well over a decade in regards to my overall health. I have struggled with chronic pain, inflammation, and a relatively weak immune system; but after a few short weeks I am beginning to feel like how my body should feel. I look forward to the coming weeks of furthering my progress.Thank you, Barbara!

Barb helped me uncover some digestive issues that were causing me much abdominal pain, bloating and breakouts around my jawline. After just 2-3 days I was bloat free and my stomach discomfort had subsided. I lost centimetres around my stomach, it was a miracle.It’s been almost a month since I saw Barb, my skin is free of breakouts and feeling an overall feeling of lightness. I should have seen Barb sooner. Highly recommend her! 😀

I started seeing Barb Feb 2020, she made me realise a few home truths - stuff, if truth be told i already knew but needed to hear it from an outside source. We took a longterm approach to my diet and whilst some changes had to be made, they were not unrealistic - I think thats what i lked the best, it was all very realistic and fitted in with my life - I didnt have to start doing any drastic separate food shopping or meal prepping - it fitted... in with the family - I even got the kids eating more fish.After years of going to the gym and trying every exercise known to woman, and not seeing any results, suddenly after a look at hormone levels, organ functions, general body upkeep, I was starting to see movement, steadily over time i was losing Kgs for the first time in years. Thank you Barb for the on going help and support.read more

I can highly recommend Barbara. I had skin problem lately. I visit Barbara and she was like little detective when she asked me what has changed since I got the problem. That way she found the reason of my skin problem - it was not great diet, stress, alcohol and so on. I followed her suggestions and in 10 days my skin was like before. Thank you for your help.

The reason I chose to go see Barbra at vital you was because of the amazing reviews that she had on her website and the information that was provided on it.I had a rash on my back for over a year having went to the doctors on numerous occasions with no results from e change. Within 2 weeks of going to see Barbra I had amazing results the rash was gone.I found the process very easy with a lot of information being passed onto me which made me... realise what was causing the rash.I would highly recommend her to anyone and have already done so to a lot of my friends.read more

After 2 years in a job that took a toll on me mentally and physically. I’d gained around 18 kilos in weight, I was exhausted and felt outright horrible.I decided it was time to start being kind to myself and make some changes. I set out looking for someone who could help me make those changes, who was knowledgeable, empathetic and committed and I found Barb. After meeting her for the first time I knew I didn’t need to look any further.Barb is... a wealth of knowledge and went to work straight away to understand me, what had got to me to the point I was at and what I wanted to achieve.Following detailed questions and some tests, Barb set me on a path for success.I’ve almost reached my goal weight with only 7kgs to go. I feel clearer in my mind, I have more energy and just feel a whole lot more healthier and positive.I love catching up with Barb, we have a great chat, a laugh and she holds me to account when I’ve strayed from the path.I can’t recommended Barb enough, she is amazing. Her techniques are simple and easy to follow and she gets results!read more

1. Why did you choose to see me:I chose to see Barb due to constantly being on a different diet and/or exercising and not seeing any changes. I wanted to find out why my body would work with some diets and not others but why the weight wouldn’t stay off.2. How did you find the process:Barb’s process starts from the beginning to find out what your goals as well as possible issues may be and work from there, she can give you a run down and how... to best approach your options. I found this to be the best as now I knew what I was working with and what would work with my own body type and issues.3. What results did you get:So far my result have been satisfying with 5.8kg down in 6 weeks. Ive been keeping a good diary and making sure I check labels when I shop. I’ve learnt a lot thanks to Barb so far and I hope to keep learning as I go.read more

After years feeling that my health was not 100% (but Drs saying nothing was wrong with me), a friend recommended I see Barb and it was the best thing I did for my health! At my first meeting Barb listened to me talk about how I was feeling – physically and mentally. By the end of the meeting I knew that finally there was someone who understood what my body was doing (or not doing!). I have not only lost weight (currently the lightest I have... been for years!), I also have more energy - and best of all more confidence! Thank you Barb (and your magic machine!) - I could not have got this far without you.read more

I came across Barb when doing a search for a local expert as I was approaching menopause and I wanted dietary and supplement advice. That was around 8 years ago and I credit her with me not gaining any weight during menopause. She is a lovely woman and incredibly knowledgeable and I recommend her to all my friends

After one session with Barbara my persistent flaky forehead and itchy scalp disappeared. She looked in her book and gave me one tablet on mineral to take a day. Within 4 days it was gone. Magic!

To anyone out there looking for genuine answers regarding any health concerns they may have or for those who have gone to GPs or specialists here in Australia and been offered nothing more than medication or harsh treatments to deal with symptoms;You may be interested in what I have to say.For over 16 years of my life, I sought out countless GPs and specialists for help regarding severe cystic ACNE that I had been dealing since my teenage... years which never subsided as I got older.No matter which supposed “medical professional” I consulted, I was always given the same 2 options. Antibiotics to be taken twice a day every day, indefinitely. Or, to do a heavy course of a medication known as roacutane, which has a long list of horrible side effects on the body and on the mind.I opted for the antibiotics, which I took on and off for over 16 years.They would mask the symptoms somewhat and lessen the chances of such severe breakouts, but if I stopped for even a few days, I would quickly break out in cysts.Over the past couple years I have been making a conscious effort to understand and improve my health on all levels. To which, I had some gradual improvements. It wasn’t until the end of last year, that I met an amazing natural therapist named Barbara Traub, who in one single consultation identified some of the many causes to the effects that I had been experiencing for as long as I could remember.I found out that I had a chronic zinc deficiency which was contributing to my Acne.I found out my entire lymphatic system was a wreck.I hadn’t exactly looked after my body through my 20’s, so it was not exactly a big surprise to find out that my liver and my adrenals were compromised as well.The list of issues revealed to me was actually a lot more extensive than what I have mentioned, but these begins to paint a picture.To say I was in a bad state would be an understatement, and if I had not met Barbara, there’s a high likeliness that I would be unaware of so many of these issues to this very day.Once the issues were identified, she began treating me and since then, my health and appearance have drastically improved.Anyone who has seen me over this time can attest to that.At the beginning of all this, I went on a juice fast for a week in conjunction with Barbara’s treatment and after 1 WEEK, I was able to stop taking the medication that I had been tied to for so much of my life. 1 SINGLE WEEK guys.I have never taken that medication since, and I never will again. Thank God!Barbara also showed me how the very medication I had been taking was actually contributed to the poor health of my skin and consequently making my Acne worse.I could go on much longer about this, but I just want to let people know, that if you have any issue regarding your health or well being, I can not possibly recommend a better natural therapist than Barbara Traub.Barbara has made an incredible difference in my life and for that, I am extremely grateful. As far as I’m concerned, she is my new doctor!She is an extremely kind and friendly person, who genuinely cares about the people she treats. Not only that, but she has a vast knowledge on the subject of health and wellness.You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by going to see her. I really hope this message can help make a difference for someone else the way it has for me.read more

I highly recommend Barbara to anyone.Barb you’re an angel thank you!

I have personally seen Barbara on a couple of occasions for different issues, and I must say her knowledge and expertise is amazing. I have also brought my son in to see Barbara as he suffers with headaches and Barbara had a little chat with him, so after he ran through his daily routine and all his sports activities, as he is a busy boy. Barbara recommended some of her amazing products for him. They’ve worked... I highly recommended Barbara and... if I ever need to see her again, there would be no hesitation. She truly knows her work.read more
