Where Behavioral Science Meets Self-Care
Hi, I’m Claudia — a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), a Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA), a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), and the hands and heart behind Barton Behavioral Health and Wellness, LLC — the home of Luna & Lavender™.
Luna & Lavender™ was born at the intersection of science, story, and healing. For years, I supported families navigating autism, trauma, dysregulation, and emotional overwhelm. I trained parents, guided therapists, and lived inside the world of behavior analysis with deep compassion and purpose.
But like many helpers, I reached a point of exhaustion.
I was teaching others how to regulate… while forgetting to extend the same kindness toward myself.
So I returned to creation — slow, sensory, grounding creation.
I began crafting balms, oils, herbal blends, and mindful rituals late at night after long clinical days. Through these small acts, I rediscovered my breath, my rhythm, and my own nervous system.
From that healing came a truth:
The nervous system listens to touch, scent, and ritual — more deeply than we realize.
And Luna & Lavender™ was born.
The Neuro-Behavioral Ritual System™
A new way to understand emotional wellness
As both a clinician and a creator, I saw that sensory rituals could become powerful tools for regulation. When paired with behavioral principles, they help the body learn new patterns of calm — the same way we teach skills in ABA, but with softness and compassion.
This became the foundation of the Neuro-Behavioral Ritual System™, a trauma-informed framework that blends:
-
neuroscience
-
behavior analysis
-
botanical healing
-
sensory regulation
Each Luna & Lavender™ product engages The Three Channels of Regulation™:
1. Somatic — Touch as grounding
The body responds to slow, predictable movement. Application becomes a cue of safety.
2. Sensory — Scent as emotional communication
Botanicals like lavender, frankincense, valerian, chamomile, and citrus interact with the limbic system to ease stress and shift emotional states.
3. Symbolic — Ritual as reinforcement
When you pair touch + scent + repetition, the nervous system begins to expect calm.
This is how new emotional patterns are learned.
These aren’t just skincare products.
They are Behavioral Wellness™ tools — sensory interventions that meet you where you are.

My Process
Small-batch. Handcrafted. Trauma-informed.
Every Luna & Lavender™ product is made by hand in small batches — intentionally slow, never rushed.
I use:
✔ high-quality botanicals
✔ infused oils
✔ therapeutic herbs
✔ nutrient-rich butters
✔ pure essential oils
I craft the way I teach:
slowly, gently, rhythmically.
Each product is a moment of regulation — for you, and for me.
What I Believe
• Healing begins with kindness.
• Slowness is a behavior worth reinforcing.
• Ritual is medicine for the nervous system.
• Science can be soft.
• Handmade care carries meaning.
• Touch, scent, and repetition teach safety.
• True wellness is not performance — it is presence.
Why I Create
Every product is an invitation:
To pause.
To breathe.
To regulate through rhythm.
To reconnect with your body.
To feel safe in your skin again.
Luna & Lavender™ exists to remind you that care can be both scientific and soulful — that the nervous system is always listening, and that you deserve rituals that help it feel protected, grounded, and held.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for allowing me to share these rituals of kindness with you.
Your healing matters.
