WHY DO I CARE & WANT TO HELP YOU

Life is movement – a mindful self-care process that you fully control.

Our mind-body relationship is based on ongoing interactions with our internal and external environment.

Understanding these relationships and connecting with our needs is essential in unwinding patterns that no longer serve us.

“The art of seeing into ourselves and connecting with our needs is a journey full of surprises. ” – Barbara Depta

Allow me to share a few words about how I developed trust in listening to my body and how it helps me serve others today.

As an 8-year-old gymnast, I dislocated my elbow during a warm-up.  The injury in itself was not life-threatening, but the doctor’s actions at the ER were and changed my life forever.

I underwent two surgeries due to the doctor’s negligence in leaving the bones in a misplaced position for over two weeks. A pool of clotted blood accumulated and grew underneath the cast, causing excruciating pain. The large hematoma was created, and eventually, a blood clot blocked a main artery, cutting off the blood supply.

That’s when I learned to trust my body when it’s communicating with me.

I was told that if this went untreated for another 24 hours, I would have been gone.

Little did I know that vascular blockage and fascial scar tissue started to create emotional and physical compensatory patterns – the beginning of my journey and purpose in life.

In my early 30s, while helping some of the best pro athletes win championships, layer by layer, I started to resolve my own physical and emotional scar tissues that were deeply rooted in my body.

The pain, anger, and resentment from that incident were stored in my body, limiting not only my movement patterns but also my emotional growth. It was a silent deterioration of my well-being and relationships with others. 

At 43, I requested a CT scan of my heart arteries, and to my surprise, one of my main arteries, the LAD (“widowmaker” ), was 80% blocked. That’s when I took my heart into my hands. In three months, the bad cholesterol level decreased from 122 to 68. The same happened to all heart inflammatory markers – they dropped so much that my doctor did not believe that I achieved all of that HOLISTICALLY.

I’m creating an E-book, which will tell you exactly how I changed my heart health. For now, subscribe to my email – I’m excited to share it with you by the end of July 2025.

Over the last fifteen years, my mission has been centered on raising awareness about the systems that truly manage our health. The ones that store stress, our stories, and emotions.

We have the power and control to either feel “alive” and rejuvenated or tired and stuck. 

Is it possible that what’s holding us together is holding us back?

After studying health science in Poland and then in the US, and having been one of the first fascia stretch specialists in the US since 2010, I later became a certified performance coach specializing in mindful self-care.

I am here to help you co-create the body you want to feel and perform at your best.

Baltimore Ravens Bodies Recover

Baltimore Ravens Bodies Recover With Barbara Depta

As the Ravens prepare for their final regular-season game, their bodies are tired and sore.

This is especially the time of year that Barbara Depta can pay dividends.

Depta is a flexibility and mobility coach, certified nutrition specialist, and strength coach. What she really specializes in is fascia stretching, which heals tissues and speeds up rehabilitation.

She has been working with the Ravens since training camp and will have the task of rejuvenating the Ravens’ bodies and minds before they face the Cleveland Browns this Sunday with the playoffs on the line.

“The fascia system reacts to all stress physical, mental, and emotional,” Depta said. “It gets tighter if it is not treated, and a player’s overall functionality deteriorates. It is essential for physical and mental recovery.”
