Barry Rossinoff

Barry is the visionary founder of IbogaQuest who since its inception in 2009, embarked on his mission with a singular focus: to provide a haven for those battling severe addictions and seeking healing from mental and physical afflictions. Inspired by his personal friendship with Howard Lotsof, whose accidental discovery of ibogaine’s anti-addictive properties in 1962 ignited a lifelong passion for healing, Barry has witnessed the profound impact of this plant medicine for over half a century. Throughout the years, he has tirelessly treated hundreds of individuals, guiding them on the path to recovery and healing from addiction and trauma.​As a long time student of Tibetan Buddhism with Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, Barry has drawn a distinct line combining mindfulness practice with the gifts of sacred plant medicine. Revered as both the heart and soul of IbogaQuest, Barry is known for his unwavering love and respect for each individual who has graced the center’s doors. To Barry each person who enters IbogaQuest becomes family, forever welcomed into his home with open arms.
