Barbara Piper works at MMS Institute as a coach and facilitator of our Coach Training and Inner Negotiation Workshop in both Amsterdam and Northern California.
As a professional coach, Barbara works with both individual and corporate clients. She started her 20+year career in Corporate Communications and later moved into Health Care Management. During these years Barbara could always be found in a personal development or in an organizational training hub, either learning about management development or learning about different ancient wisdom traditions, meditation, mindfulness, compassion, somatic work and systemic constellations. In her work, her focus has always been in the realm of people and communication.

Clients who come to Barbara are often looking to find ways of relief from stress and find more inner peace. Mindfulness and Compassionate conversations are key to finding calm and clarity; to become more resilient.

Barbara holds a Master degree in Communication and over the past 3 years, she studied at Stanford’s CCARE Institute (Cultivating Compassion and Altruism) which combines rigorous academic research with experiential contemplative, meditation practices.

Today, Compassion has become the focus of much of Barbara’s work. As an entrepreneur in compassion, she is founding a centre to bring more inner peace to people with technology at the heart of it.

Vision and Mission: ‘When you drop from your mind into your heart, life is clear and purposeful’
