A 12-week program to finally put an end to stress-triggered flare-ups for good

Calm Mind Calm Skin program logo

From feeling deeply ashamed and constantly worrying about your next flare… to confident, free, and ready to take on life without stress holding you back.

Rosacea | Acne | Eczema | Hair Loss | Psoriasis | Autoimmune | Skin Cancer | Rapid Aging | More

Here's an important question for women stuck in the stress-flare cycle...

What sets apart the women who light up a room with glowing skin and effortless confidence... from those worn down by the relentless battle with their skin, hiding under clothes and makeup in quiet desperation?

If you guessed those women have flawless genetics, use the most expensive skincare, or spend hours meditating like a damn monk to stay calm — you’d be wrong!

If you guessed they never deal with stress, have unlimited time for self-care, and somehow don’t have any life pressures (do they have no job, a nanny, and a personal chef!?) — you’d also be wrong! Keep reading!

The cycle of stress-flare-hide feels like a rollercoaster with no exit

You dream of calm skin you can rely on, but that constant worry about your next flare-up keeps you from fully enjoying moments with your loved ones or looking your coworkers in the eye.

I totally get it. You’re an amazing woman, juggling it all, but every time you catch your reflection or feel your skin burning, it’s like a wave of shame and frustration washes over you.

It kills you that you can’t just feel confident and carefree, whether it’s during a work meeting, on a date night, or even with your partner. It’s like you’re carrying a 100 lb weight that you can never put down.

The real frustration? It’s in that never-ending cycle of flare-ups. You’ve tried all the “right” solutions, but it’s like a rollercoaster — one flare, then another, and the worst part is feeling like you’ll never be able to break free.

You’ve been lied to, and it’s not your fault

You’ve been told over and over that creams, diets, and prescriptions, are the only way to fix your skin and finally feel good about yourself.

You’ve literally tried it all. Journaling, yoga, and meditation too. And often they do help—for a little bit. But then:

Let's be real...

You're not asking for perfect skin. You just want to:

The 4 biggest myths that are keeping you stuck in the skin-flare cycle:

Myth #1: You just need to find the right cream or diet

You know it's a myth, because you've already tried them all and you've never had lasting results. But sometimes you still have a hard time letting the idea go. Real healing starts with calming the stress and emotional patterns triggering your flare-ups, not another band-aid solution.

Myth #2: Stress management is just about relaxing more

It’s tempting to think yoga, meditating, or simply relaxing will calm your skin, but it’s more than just unwinding. True relief comes from rewiring how your body handles stress. Without addressing the root, the cycle will keep repeating.

Myth #3: It’s all in your head—you just need to calm down

Ever been told to just “relax” and your skin will clear up? It's frustrating and dismissive. The truth is, your mind-body connection is real, and how your nervous system responds to stress is a key factor in your skin’s health. You need practical tools, not quick-fix advice.

Myth #4: You’ve tried everything—there’s nothing left

It’s easy to feel like you’ve hit a wall after trying endless treatments and methods that don’t work. But what you haven’t tried is a truly integrated approach that addresses the emotional roots of your skin condition. There is a path to lasting healing, and it starts here.

Imagine how it would feel to step out the door without layers of makeup and feel completely comfortable in your own skin?

What if you could...

Break the
stress cycle

What if you could finally break free from the stress-flare cycle and wake up to skin that stays calm, no matter what life throws your way?

Feel confidence
& ease

What if instead of feeling dread before every meeting or social event, you felt confident and at ease because your skin wasn’t controlling how you show up?

Woman smiling and excited to be free from stress-triggered skin flare-ups

Embrace
your reflection

What would it be like to embrace your reflection, knowing your skin isn’t something to hide but something you feel proud of?

You know there has to be a better way to heal your skin, but…

You're stuck in a loop

Every flare-up sends you back to the same creams and routines, even though they never really work, and you’re left feeling crushed all over again.

You're confused

With so much conflicting advice about skin, you don’t know where to turn for real solutions that are actually going to work for you.

You're overwhelmed

Between work, family, and managing your skin, you’re just trying to get through the day—finding a true fix feels impossible.

... and most of all, you're defeated. No matter what you try, the flare-ups keep happening, leaving you to wonder if clear, calm skin is even possible for you.

"You can't heal what you don't feel - and I feel so much more at peace. Normally I'd be spiraling right now!"

I loved how everything was broken down into specific lessons. Each time you came on, we learned something specifically that we could take to use in the real world. In this week, I think I used every single lesson. 

On the weekend, it was my due date for the baby that I lost and I thought it was going to be this horrible, terrible thing, like can I even survive it? One of the big lessons through all of this was you cannot heal what you do not feel. Since I couldn’t escape the fact that on the 15th I was going to feel it, instead, I ran into it, and it made the biggest difference. I feel so much more at peace.

Being in community and learning that I can cry in front of people has also really helped. Having a weekly space to go in which you can just have emotions being seen and felt and accepted was extremely special. The amount of sweet talking and soft belly breathing that I have been doing has been really helpful. Normally, I would be spiraling right now. So thank you!

Your life is meant to be fully lived.

You want to look back with no regrets, knowing that you had the confidence and freedom to embrace every moment.

The pressure of constant skin flare-ups keeps you on edge, but deep down, you envision a life where you feel comfortable in your own skin.

You picture carefree days, killing it at your work meetings, spending time with your kids and friends, and feeling confident at every event without worrying about what your skin is doing.

It’s not about having “perfect” skin; it’s about feeling confident, free, and ready for life’s moments. You’re used to putting your needs last, but lasting happiness and calm can only come when you feel good in your skin.

Luckily, there is a way to have all this WITHOUT endless treatments or temporary fixes!

Woman smiling and excited to be free from stress-triggered skin flare-ups

So what's the big secret to stopping the flare-ups for good?

It's permanently rewiring your nervous system with easy, practical steps so you naturally don't react the same way to the inevitable stress of life.

We each carry our own set of thought patterns, traumas, and beliefs that shape how we respond to stress. These deeply ingrained reactions can overwhelm your nervous system and lead to flare-ups. 

But when we work together to shift those patterns, the things that once triggered stress won’t have the same hold on you. You’ll feel calm and grounded without having to try—and when your mind is at ease, your skin will follow.

What if this was your norm...

At ease from the moment you get up

Imagine waking up with a clear mind that lasts all day. You’re calm, focused, and able to handle work stress, family responsibilities, and anything life throws your way—without your skin reacting.

Free from the endless search for the answer

Imagine no longer spending hours researching new routines, diets and creams, stressing in the mirror, or “trying” and failing to meditate. You’ve finally found an answer that works, so you can reclaim your time and energy.

Confident and carefree in every situation

Imagine saying yes to events, outings, and social moments without a second thought. Whether it’s the beach or a work meeting, you’re comfortable in your skin, and ready to show up confidently to anything.

Dr. Keira Barr, MD
Dual-board certified dermatologist

Hi, I'm Dr. Keira Barr.

And I get it, I've been there too. Just like you, I’ve spent years at battle with my skin.

As a dermatologist, all I did was try to “fix” my patients' and my own skin issues with creams and prescriptions—only to finally realize that I was only ever treating the surface.

My own vulnerable struggles with birthmarks, skin cancer, and aging opened my eyes to the deep connection between our skin and what’s happening inside.

I started to truly get it that skin isn’t just a thing that covers us. It’s directly linked to the nervous system and it’s a storyteller, reflecting our inner world physically, emotionally, and mentally. Stress and trauma make it worse, which transformed how I approach dermatology.

That’s why I created my mind-skin approach—a blend of evidence-based mind-body practices, lifestyle shifts, and ancient wisdom to help you heal from within. I’m here to offer real, lasting solutions that go beyond just surface fixes.

"The love and safety I felt in this group was unlike anything else I'd ever experienced. It was freaking incredible."

THIS WAS FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!! I didn’t know what to expect fully, but this exceeded my expectations. It was just the right combination of ‘woo woo’ and practical for the perfect balance.

The love and safety I felt in this group was unlike anything else I’d ever experienced. There were all different people at different points in their journeys and everyone was supported and loved and appreciated for where they were and what they needed. It was beautiful and I didn’t want it to end. Loved your honesty, engagement and passion and how you adapted as we asked and voiced what may work well for each of us.

This has been so, so incredibly helpful. It’s helped me better understand the way that I tend to approach things and that maybe there’s a better way to do that that won’t harm my skin.

"Dr. Barr helped me address my triggers, my overwhelm, and my body image issues, and how those things show up in my skin."

Before meeting together I was struggling with triggers from past traumas. I was feeling overwhelmed. I was also struggling with body image issues and the toll my skin condition takes on my mental health, and my harmful coping mechanisms.

While working together, Dr. Barr had me envision what I was feeling, what it looked like, and what it felt like. I had a moment of clarity and peace where I saw everything I was struggling with in one place. ‘Seeing’ my traumas take a new form, I was able to acknowledge them, and by doing so, it gave me a newfound sense of peace.

I would 100% recommend working with Dr. Barr. She helped me address my issue and provided guidance on how those issues show up in my body and then my skin. I learned, most importantly, that I’m not alone. I’m going to miss it, and I agree we should have infinite more sessions.

Thank you Dr. Barr – this has brought tears of relief. I think my true self has been trying to tell me some things for awhile and I keep pushing it down down down.

I am so glad I joined the program. I discovered so much about myself. I am more open than I have ever been, it feels so uplifting.

The muscles in my face are lifting. My world has moved from monotone to colour.

It helped change my perspective of tiredness, emotional exhaustion, and value of personal input. 

Thanks so much to you and the group for turning my frown upside down!!

Robin W.

This is for you if you're…

exhausted

You’ve tried every cream, diet, skincare regimen, and guided meditation out there, and nothing seems to stick.

Sick of it

You’re so. damn. sick. of working so hard to manage your stress & lifestyle, only for flare-ups to come back again and again.

So. Done.

You're absolutely DONE with your skin controlling how you feel, what you wear, what you're allowed to do, and where you can go.

And you're beyond fed up with feeling like a failure for never doing enough, or that this is just how life is going to be (trust me, it’s not!)

"I've learned to trust myself in a new way. The shift in how I handle big emotional situations is quite remarkable!"

Before we started working together, managing my stress and mental wellbeing was a bit chaotic, though better than most, but I knew there was room for improvement. Now, I can more easily and readily get into my body, recognize my physical emotions, and take back control of them. One unexpected shift was being able to handle a big emotional situation with my husband—how I worked through it was quite remarkable! I’ve worked with other coaches before, and every coach offers different things. You are a great listener and facilitator and give amazing direction on how to handle emotions in the body, without going directly to the mind and thoughts first. The most valuable part of this experience has been learning how to trust myself in a new way. Absolutely, YES, I would recommend Dr. Barr to anyone considering working with her!

Selfish? No way. you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to do this.

We’re all used to feeling guilty for taking time or spending money on ourselves. But imagine what they get:

"I felt so safe, seen, and heard, which is rare when working with a health professional. Thank you for validating my feelings!"

Thank you for validating everything that I am feeling.
The thing that stood out to me and drew me in the most to work with you was your energy— I felt so safe, seen, and heard during our appointments, which is rare to me when working with a health professional.

All the support you need to finally let your skin (and confidence) shine.

"I feel more in control. More calm. Less anxiety—I was even able to stop my anti-anxiety medication!"

Before I joined this group, I was barely hanging in there. I was going through some challenging times and knew I needed help to work through the issues going forward. Now, I’m better able to put challenges with my husband’s health into perspective and accept that I cannot change the outcome. I can focus more on what I can do to keep myself on an even keel. I’ve felt more calming of my nervous system and less anxiety—I was even able to stop my anti-anxiety medication. Your approach and exercises have been a great match for me, more in-depth and supportive than I’ve ever felt with any therapist in the past. The in-depth sessions built on one another and left me feeling more in control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Here's everything you need to know to get on your way to a calm mind and calm skin:

Calm Mind, Calm Skin™ is a live, intimate 12-week group program designed to help you heal stress-triggered skin flare-ups from the inside out. 

You’ll learn easy-to-implement, evidence-based strategies to permanently calm your nervous system and transform your skin for good so that it’s no longer the first thing on your mind when you wake up in the morning! 

This program is for women who are so. done. with surface-level solutions and quick fixes that never last. If you’re ready to dig deeper and finally reclaim control over your skin and confidence, this is for you. It’s tailored for those willing to show up, participate, and integrate the practices that make a real difference.

However, this isn’t for you if you’re looking for a simple skincare product or prescription-only solution. If you’re not ready to explore the deeper emotional and stress-related aspects impacting your skin, or you’re looking for a one-time quick fix without active involvement, this may not be what you’re looking for.

I get it—truly. Most of my clients have come to me feeling defeated and skeptical after years of trying creams, diets, and prescriptions that only offered temporary relief.

What makes this approach different is that we address your unique stress and trauma patterns at the root, using proven mind-body techniques to permanently rewire your nervous system. Over time, you’ll naturally start reacting to stress differently without even having to think about it. 

And you know what that means? 

Calm skin without all the effort. No unwieldy meditation sessions, no obnoxiously long skincare routines, and no painful diets that make you feel like a weirdo.

We’re not putting band-aids on symptoms; we’re healing the source of the problem. And you’re not doing it alone—I’m with you every step of the way.

Imagine waking up refreshed, not even thinking about your skin. There’s no rushing to the mirror, dreading what you’ll see, how much hair has fallen out, or how many new spots or patches have appeared.

You just get up and choose what to wear based on what you WANT to wear, not what your skin is doing. Maybe you decide to wear barely any makeup, and that feels totally okay.

You feel calm. No anxiety. Just comfortable and at peace.

At work, you’re focused solely on your tasks. You’re excited to share your ideas in a big meeting, and while you’re a bit nervous about asking for that promotion, it’s not because of your skin (and you’re no longer worried that stress will trigger a flare-up).

Then, a friend calls and invites you to a girls’ weekend out of town. Instead of anxiously calculating how to manage your elaborate skincare routine, diet restrictions, and hiding your skin, you just say an easy yes!

Later, when your honey wants to get close, you actually feel excited. You’re not scared to take off your clothes or obsessing over what they’re thinking. You’re relaxed, present, and enjoying the connection like you used to.

And then—you go to bed. You’re not staying up way later than you should, googling how to fix your skin and feeling more confused and defeated.

Nope. You simply go to bed and get a great sleep because your skin doesn’t hurt, and you’re not tossing and turning, worrying about it.

Imagine having a day like that, every day. That’s what’s possible with this program.

Only you can decide if that’s worth the price tag. If you could buy all that off the store shelf for three payments of $397, would you?

The truth is, we often spend that kind of money easily on a trip or other extras without a second thought. And this is a permanent, root-level solution that saves you from future spending on things that don’t work. So in a way, it’s actually saving you money.

I get it, though. The hesitation is often not really about the money—it’s about worrying it won’t work for you. That’s why I offer a guarantee: if you fully participate in the program and honestly don’t feel any better about yourself, you’ll receive a full refund.

The live group sessions take place once a week and typically run about 90 minutes.

Beyond the sessions, you’ll have access to simple, actionable exercises that only take a few moments per day—nothing overwhelming or just another annoying “to-do” on your list.

A key goal of this program is to avoid leaving you with a pile of daily practices you need to maintain forever. That’s why this approach is different. You’ll use the program and its tools to rewire how you naturally respond to stress, so you can be free from anxiety and enjoy calm, clear skin without any burdensome long-term effort.

Each group is kept small and intimate with a max of 20 people. This allows for personalized attention and a supportive, close-knit environment where you can feel seen and heard.

I understand that sharing personal struggles can be challenging. That’s why we keep the groups small and create a safe, supportive space where you can open up at your own pace.

In fact, past participants who were hesitant have found the group setting to be incredibly relieving, and absolutely wouldn’t want it any other way. 

Connecting with other women facing similar challenges is a powerful experience, allowing you to learn from each other’s stories while I coach them through the healing process. Often you get “a-ha’s” and insights you wouldn’t get when going through the process without the group. 

Note that if you do strongly prefer one-to-one support, Keira offers private coaching as well.

The program is delivered live over Zoom, so you can participate from the comfort of your own abode. Each session is interactive, giving you a chance to ask questions and connect with me and your fellow participants.

And don’t worry—while we encourage you to attend the live sessions to get the most out of the experience, all sessions are recorded so you can catch up at your own pace if needed.

Yes, every skin condition is influenced by stress and the nervous system, so this program works for every skin condition.

Here’s a non-exhaustive list: Acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, alopecia, rashes, herpes, cold sores, rapid aging, skin cancer, shingles, hives, vitiligo, lupus, dermatitis, scleroderma, lichen planus, melasma, ichthyosis.

If you would like reassurance that this will work for your situation, email me here or book a 20 minute Connection Call.

While everyone’s journey is different, many participants notice shifts in their stress levels and skin within the first few weeks. The real transformation comes over time as you consistently apply the tools and techniques you’ll learn throughout the program, and your nervous system permanently settles into its new way of reacting to stress.

Insurance often only covers quick-fix treatments in the conventional medical setting (the one you’ve been burned by so many times), and the work we do is deep, personalized, and holistic.

I focus on lasting mind-body healing, not surface-level solutions. The way I practice goes beyond what insurance companies recognize, but I do accept HSA/FSA payments through TrueMed® which many clients find financially helpful. Learn how

Yes, I’m a board-certified dermatologist. However, in this setting, which operates outside the traditional prescription-based medical system, we focus on somatic and psycho-dermatology techniques to address the underlying stress and trauma causing your skin issues. My goal is to equip you with tools that heal from within—so ideally, you won’t need medication.

That said, if medication seems like a necessary part of your care, I require you to have a local dermatology provider. While I’m here to guide your holistic healing journey, I’m not a substitute for direct medical care. If you need help finding someone, I’m happy to refer you to a trusted provider through my extensive network.

Your skin—and your peace of mind—can’t wait any longer. The price you’re paying by not addressing this at its core is greater than you may think.

Consider the priceless time lost worrying about the next flare-up, and the hours spent trying every cream and cover-up you can find. Think of the mental energy consumed by self-doubt and overanalyzing your appearance, wondering if everyone else notices too.

Reflect on the moments missed—declining plans, avoiding the spotlight, feeling half-present in your own life because you’re focused on managing, hiding, or stressing over your skin.

The cost of not solving this now is steep. Research and experience shows that if nothing changes, you’ll be in the same spot in 6 months, cycling through the same frustration and disappointment. This is your chance to break that cycle for good.
