Biography

Kendra Barron is an artist, life skills coach and yoga teacher.

Kendra received her artistic training at the University of California at Davis where she studied with such outstanding artists as Wayne Thiebaud. She completed her work at Berkeley, where she received her teaching credential.

Education has always been her passion. Several years were spent teaching art in the public schools in the Bay Area. After Kendra's daughter was born, she shifted to teaching Adult Education art classes. That work inspired Kendra to return to school in order to acquire a masters degree in Arts and Consciousness from John F. Kennedy University and go on to teach at the college level.

Creating art is a multi-faceted process. While teaching satisfied the need to share, Kendra also exhibited her work and marketed it with the help of art consultants. A list of exhibits is available by request. Painting also took her on a personal journey of exploring sacred wisdom. Refer to the essay on creativity.

As Kendra's fascination with sacred wisdom grew, she was attracted to the study of yoga. It came as a surprise when she ended up teaching it. However, yoga is a creative process just like painting. It takes us into a timeless place, where we can get in touch with our essence. It presents us with a clear picture of our strengths and our challenges and provides an ideal vehicle for continued growth.

The name Kendra means "to know or understand". It has inspired Kendra to explore and understand how life works. In addition to her extensive reading and studies at John F. Kennedy, Kendra has trained with Angeles Arrien. It was a natural evolution to become a Personal Empowerment Coach, which blends the work of intuition, education and creativity. Kendra's fascination for symbol and the intuitive process is particularly useful in doing Tarot readings, a service which is available in addition to the coaching work.
