It is a sad day for me and my fellow MFR therapists around the world. I have studied John Barnes’ work for over 20 years. I enjoyed hundreds of hours of direct personal training in his classes. I was hosted at his home in Sedona. I was treated by and treated others with him during my week in Pennsylvania.
His work is epic. It will live on through the therapists that continue to do and train therapists in his methods and thought process.
I feel honored and privileged to have been an understudy of this great legend. Farewell my teacher and leader. I will forever practice MFR in your honor and memory.
