Joshua Carter (aka Teen Jesus Barbie) is a local business owner, adjunctive health practitioner and Drag Queen, all rolled into one. Joshua has been a practicing RMT for 14 years, and currently combines body work with other trainings he has studied, such as CranioSacral Therapy, Reiki, and Algonquin Energy Medicine. He is currently part of a practitioner owned and operated clinic in Downtown Edmonton, Healing Connections Wellness Centre. Joshua's curiosity in the unseen, energetic and spiritual aspects of life continue to inspire his exploration of the physical manifestation of wellness.

The art and expression of Drag and gender fluidity has always been a part of his life. Joshua believes that, like Spirit, no one is confined by their body's assigned gender but in fact a perfect blend of both and neither. Drag is a platform to explore and express the dynamic human experience. To play with boundaries, to make light of limitations and to raise the energy of life through laughter and fun. There is no higher vibration than Love.
