meet Dr. Barbara Newlon
“The greatest joy in my work is treating babies and children. They are gifts
that remind us of our true nature. Treatment with cranial sacral osteopathy, and when needed, homeopathy,
is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child.”
Dr. Barbara Newlon received her Osteopathic Doctorate in 1981 from the Kirksville
College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri, and has
been treating children in Marin County since 1985. She has completed more than 1,000
hours of postgraduate training through the Cranial Academy, an affiliate
of the American Osteopathic Association. Dr. Newlon has taught the cranial
concept since 1982 at the Osteopathic College in Pomona, California,
and at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Vallejo, California.
She has served on the Board of the Osteopathic Center for Children
in San Diego, California.
Dr. Newlon is honored to have studied with several of the leading cranial sacral osteopaths in the
United States, all taught directly by William Garner
Sutherland, D.O., the founder and originator of cranial sacral osteopathy. These
include Anne Wales, D.O.; Edna Lay, D.O.; Paul Kimberly, D.O.; Robert
Fulford, D.O., who is discussed in Andrew Weil, M.D.’s best-selling
book, Spontaneous Healing; and Viola Frymann, D.O., founder
of the Osteopathic Center for Children in San Diego, CA.
A practitioner of classical homeopathy
