IANDS NoVA Barbara Bartolome - The Amazing Life of a Double-Dead Redhead!

Barbara Bartolome shares the story of her 1987 near-death experience (NDE), at age 31, where she flatlined during a medical procedure and watched her resuscitation from a ceiling vantage point, while communicating to an incredible, loving entity who she deeply felt was God/The Creator. When she returned to her body, Barbara shocked the neurosurgeon, orthopedic surgeon, and medical support team with accurate details of what she’d seen and heard during her cardiac arrest and subsequent resuscitation.

In those days, there was very little information about or cultural acceptance of experiences like hers, so she chose to not speak openly about her NDE again for more than twelve years. During those years, Barbara started assimilating her NDE and wanted to understand more after speaking to a nurse friend. Subsequent research revealed she was far from alone in having an NDE.

After discovering the NDERF.org website in 2007, Barbara submitted her NDE story for their archives, never guessing what a major opening that would bring to her life. In 2009, she was invited to the IANDS Conference in San Diego by NDERF Founder, Dr. Jeffrey Long. Still having very little knowledge of NDEs and completely ignorant of their after-effects, a chance comment by one of the speakers at that conference set her upon a quest that eventually led to a surprising new NDE discovery!

Barbara and her NDE have been featured on the NBC Today Show, and in the 2011 movie ‘Afterlife’. She is also the subject of a documentary by French Filmmaker Anthony Chene, which has currently garnered over 730,000 views. Her NDEs have been featured in Guideposts’ new book ‘A Choir of Angels’, in U.S. News and World Report, The Sun (U.K.), and various other print articles, podcasts, documentaries, TV, and radio shows.

In the 1980’s, Barbara held a Department of Defense SECRET Clearance, and worked for Hughes Aircraft. Both she and her husband, Victor, are now retired from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She was recognized as an Unsung Heroine, in 2000, for her volunteer work in the community and named Santa Barbara’s Businesswoman of the Year in 2004, for creating and operating a wonderful paper arts store in downtown Santa Barbara. Barbara loves finding ways to make a difference both in and far beyond her local community.

This is a quite amazing interview. Mrs. Bartolome is very sincere and explained everything in great detail. I like her style of telling her experience. Mainly just telling her facts and not trying to convince anyone.. And I also really liked the Q&A afterwards. This interview was a very rewarding and wonderful experience for me. Thank you, IANDS Northern Virginia for having Mrs. Bartolome on your program. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
