Dr. Barbaranne Branca

Mindfulness Meditation Instructor

Galaxy Brain and Therapy Center

Dr. Branca is a retired neuropsychologist, certified mindfulness meditation instructor, certified Zentangle (meditative drawing) teacher, artist, and poet.Among her special interests include working with individuals who have sustained a traumatic brain injury, altered physical functionality, chronic pain, and PTSD.  Her work is informed by a serious accident that she had some years ago, and she radiates empathy and compassion because of it.Writing poetry and making jewelry are both part of her meditation practice--she feels that developing one’s creativity in harmony with spiritual understanding is essential for connecting to the Higher Self.  Dr. Branca is guided daily by the story of the Dalai Lama, who was asked by a seeker for the fastest way to enlightenment--The Dalai Lama looked at the seeker with gentleness and simply said “Be kind.”
