and stress-release practitioner, and founder of the Center for Mind Skin
MedicineTM. For over two decades, she’s bridged dermatology, neuroscience, and

A bestselling author (The Skin Whisperer), researcher, and sought-after speaker,
Dr. Barr’s work has appeared in leading medical journals and major media outlets.
Her groundbreaking research on her signature Somatic SkincareTM process, a
trauma-informed nervous-system-based approach to skin healing, is challenging
conventional thinking on the relationship between skin, stress, and trauma.
She advises startups, global corporations, and the pharmaceutical industry, and
serves on the board of the Association for Psychoneurocutaneous Medicine of

redefine skincare as a pathway to safety, self-trust, and self-compassion, so

confidence living in it.
