About

Change is an important part of life, especially since, we can't escape it and it happens more comfortably when we embrace it.

I had the good fortune to be dragged around different parts of the world as my dad was transferred from one air base to another. I quickly realized that change was inevitable. It became the basis of the work that I do. Massage therapy is focused on changing the structure of the body and hypnosis is focused on changing the facets of the mind. I combined the two into the curriculum of Bluestone Academy of Massage, giving my students tools to address their clients on more than one level.

I have known Tim Barlen for over 25 years and attended many a class he has taught. Tim is personable, knowledgeable about his subjects and makes learning fun. Using gentle humor and patience, he allows the student to unfold in their learning process while still keeping accountability on both sides—student AND teacher—which is an invaluable asset in my professional opinion!

~ Pam Foster

LMT. CR. RM.

As a teacher, Tim has taught me so much about how to overcome my blocks and insecurities. I've been able to implement almost every tool and concept that he's taught me I get the answers I'm looking for in terms of changes and tweaks I can make to connect better with my students. He's a very knowledgeable teacher and human. I highly recommend his classes and workshops to all who are looking to up their professional game as well as raising the quality of their life.

~ Laura White Herbologist

RP, Spiritual Healer

I’ve worked with Tim on many different projects. As co-trainers or partners, as a teacher and often as a Padawan learner. I’m looking forward to next time. Coursework with Tim is far more than ‘I didn’t know that and now I do.’ Add in why you want to learn that, how is it valuable to you, what is the reality you want with your new information, your new insight, even your new opportunity to create a change. All of that is a far more engaging and enjoyable way to learn. Sound fun? It is. That’s your opportunity with Tim. Don’t be late to class.

~ Jack Gilyard

LMT, RP, Stuntman

I’ve known Tim since 1992 when he taught along side me at what at the time was called Seattle Massage School. He always had a wry sense of humor to go with a keenly laser like intellect. He initiated me into Reiki in the mid 1990’s. Tim has the ability to disarm folks with genuine sensitivity and that could be observed when he either taught or as the administrator / owner of Bluestone Academy of Massage program in central Washington. Tim is forthright, honest and a high sense of integrity. I count him as a friend.

~ Steven Goldstein

RMT, B.H.SC. MST, BA

Tim's ability to connect and listen to his clients is one of his superpowers. Hypnotherapy is a gift he brings to his clients. He is committed to his craft, always learning and staying relevant. Tim’s teaching style resonates with me because of his humor and how he makes the learner feel smart for just showing up. I always walk away from my time with Tim feeling empowered to achieve the task at hand. He has a way of conveying information that is approachable and real.
