After graduating from Northwestern University with Honors in Writing, attending the University of Virginia School of Law, and "doing time" as an associate at Philadelphia's most prestigious law firm, Morgan Lewis, Barbara recently began her own law practice. Focused employment law advice, compliance audits, handbooks, and employee training programs, Barbara has a broad-based understanding of how to prevent, mitigate and recover from the inevitable problems employers face. Employees, as human beings, bring all of their foibles with them to work, and conflicts inevitably arise. Barbara has litigated age, sex and race discrimination, sexual harassment, disability and FMLA cases for both employers and employees, and understands the myriad federal, state and local laws that employers often encounter only after having violated them. In short, Barbara practices the preventive medicine of employment law. In addition, for her 40th birthday, Barbara treated herself to a grueling five-month yoga certification program at Yoga on Main in Manayunk, and now teaches classes and theraputic private sessions at Maitri Yoga, in Media, Pennsylvania. She co-teaches an innovative class entitled "Sweet Dreams: Yoga Techniques for Children’s Sleep" with her four-year-old daughter, Carrie. Bringing to bear both the rigorous analytical training of a lawyer and the intuition of a mother and yoga teacher, Barbara helps parents to cut through the highly charged emotional baggage of bedtime, from Ferber to the Family Bed. She teaches parents how to use practical breathing, bonding and relaxation techniques to create a bedtime ritual that works for each family.
