About Douglas Barber

After breaking his back twice in his early twenties, Douglas had a wake-up call that his purpose was to help others heal from pain—especially relationship pain influenced by attachment styles. Following a divorce, he spent 16 years studying the relationship patterns that truly create lasting, fulfilling connections. 

Now a Certified Relationship Coach and Emergent Care Practitioner, Douglas brings a blend of insight, spirituality, and heart-centered communication to his work, helping clients build self-trust as they transform relationships. His gentle manner and keen understanding create a healing space where clients experience profound growth and transformation. 

He created The AWAKE Method to help successful single women stop choosing the wrong men and build healthy, emotionally available partnerships later in life.

Douglas has been happily married to Eileen for over 23 years, and they share their life with Maple, their 21-year old, and their Westies, Penny and Max.
