My name is Barb Tharp, and I’m both a Certified Body Code and Certified Emotion Code Practitioner. Now that I’ve finished my first career, I’ve moved onto a new one in a field where I get the opportunity to help people find and correct physical imbalances or misalignments, as well as release the trapped emotions which inhibit them – physically, emotionally, and behaviorally.
I first heard of Emotion Code in May, 2013, when just out of curiosity, I went for training in another modality. At the time, I had been dealing with foot pain for 13 years, and had been restricted to rocker bottom shoes for many years, as they kept me off of the balls of my feet, where the pain was originating. The trainer at this session is well versed in many techniques, so at the end of the first day, she offered to try Emotion Code on my foot issue. I quickly agreed, and within 15-20 minutes my pain was gone! When I returned for the 2nd day of training, I wore regular shoes – a pair I hadn’t worn for many years – and was totally comfortable the whole day. She did some finishing touches on that 2nd day, and the pain has never returned. Obviously, with results like that, I was quickly sold! I didn’t have to figure out what was causing the pain, didn’t have to relive anything, or do any of the other things that either the medical community or a therapist might address. Certainly there is a place for both of those professions, but in the case of physical imbalances and trapped emotions – many of which could have been there for years – Body Code and Emotion Code are a rapid and painless way to get resolution.
Emotion Code also addresses the heart-wall, the wall of protection that 93% of the population builds up to keep from being hurt. After getting resolution with my feet, I asked about working on my heart-wall, as I knew I had had a less than stellar childhood. To start, my heart-wall measured “infinity” miles thick! I guess it would be hard to find one thicker than that! Throughout my training, I’ve cleared them from 250 miles thick up to millions of miles, and I’ve come up with a couple that have also measured infinity. It can take a number of sessions to resolve the thicker ones, but from my standpoint, I can say it was so worth it! Many of my trapped emotions became trapped when I had polio at age 5. Not only did I feel I had been “abandoned” in a hospital for a month (since I was in isolation), but I also felt I had done something horribly wrong to be punished so severely. No wonder I built up such a thick wall of protection! And I was not aware that I was carrying around any unresolved emotions from that time in my life.
The results for me though were totally amazing! Many people, once the heart-wall is gone, feel lighter, or like a weight has been lifted. In my case, I didn’t really feel anything immediately, which wasn’t surprising as I had obviously decided at a pretty young age, that I was not going to feel, and no one was going to be able to hurt me. I had a feeling though that one day I was going to wake up and realize I was a totally different person. It wasn’t quite so dramatic, but it definitely did happen. I had always been very shy and withdrawn. I was so afraid of rejection and being judged that I would hardly even ask someone to go to lunch with me. Within a month or so of having my heart-wall cleared, I began to realize that I no longer felt that way. I’ve become a much more social person, and easily connect with others.
Life for me has become something I never even dreamed was possible! Even though I was totally sold on Emotion Code, I would never have considered becoming a practitioner. But once that heart-wall was gone, it was quickly obvious to me that I had finally found my life’s calling. I’ve always wanted to make a difference, but hadn’t been able to come up with a way to do that, considering the trapped emotions that had been holding me back. That has all changed now though, and I want to save the world 🙂 – one person or one animal at a time!
Yes, this works on animals, too, and I have had tremendous results with my cocker spaniel, pets belonging to my friends and relatives, and also some rescue dogs, with unknown but likely traumatic pasts. I work regularly with dogs from No Hound Unhomed, a dog rescue in Colorado Springs, that currently operates out of Camp Bow Wow. I love animals, and offering my services there is my way of being able to give back to the dogs, the tremendous amount of joy that many have given me.

I live in Colorado, U.S., but the techniques of both practices allow me to work with people anywhere. While this work can be done in person, it is frequently done by phone, and if necessary we can also connect by Zoom, e-mail or text messaging.
