Instructors' Bios
Joanna MacQuarrie
Joanna first experienced Healing Pathway over twenty years ago and introduced it to
congregations in Grande Prairie, Calgary and Peterborough. She completed her own
HP training after retiring from active ministry. It is a gift to introduce people
to HP, which offers further tools for caring for one another within congregations,
families and communities. She’s excited to behold how some simple energy balancing
techniques and an intention to work with the divine Spirit can so enhance well
being in mind, body and spirit.
Barb Loynes
Barb took her first Healing Pathway course in 2011 and completed the
last one in 2016. For many years she was a practitioner at Glen Cairn United in
Kanata as well as First United in Ottawa. After moving to Perth in 2016 she became
an instructor and formed two groups one at St. Paul’s United Church, Perth and
with Trinity United in Smiths Falls. Healing Pathway enriches her life as she
offers this heart centered ministry to others.
