Private Mentoring with Kathleen Barratt
A rare opportunity to engage this work directly with its originator, in a setting devoted to genuine inner transformation.
Where transformation becomes a return, guided by breath toward stillness and remembrance.
Private mentoring with Kathleen invites you into a one-to-one process of inner transformation with the originator of Barratt Breathwork®, in a space where the work can unfold in its full depth and continuity.
This work is not centered on technique, but on the inward journey itself — a gradual movement through old karmic patterns and perceptual habits that shape both the course of our lives and the depth of our meditation. As these patterns come into awareness and begin to release, a new coherence emerges, and the pathway inward begins to open.
The breath is the primary guide in this process, supporting regulation, energetic balance, and the natural turning of awareness toward stillness. Within this framework, metaphysical mentoring helps illuminate the karmic forces shaping experience, while meditation guidance supports the unfolding of deeper states of absorption and presence.
Through this one-to-one work, transformation is not something imposed from outside, but something revealed from within — a gradual alignment of breath, awareness, and insight that reshapes the way one lives, perceives, and meets life. From this alignment, the inward journey deepens, and a pathway opens toward stillness, coherence, and the quiet homecoming of Divine remembrance.
Schedule a ConsultationWho is This Work For
This work speaks to those who feel called toward genuine inner transformation.
It often draws those on this path whose attention is turning inward, and who sense that lasting change arises not from adding new techniques, but from working through the deeper patterns that shape their experience of life, practice, and perception.
Many who enter this work are yoga professionals, contemplative students, or individuals who feel ready to engage their path more directly, with consistency and one-to-one guidance.
What This Work Offers
This work unfolds as a process of guided transformation rather than instruction alone.
We begin with what is already present — allowing breath, awareness, and insight to reveal where regulation, clarity, or deeper alignment is needed. Through this one-to-one process, practice becomes less something you perform and more something you embody.
Individualized Breath Sessions
Each session responds to your unfolding process, working with the intimate relationship between breath, nervous system, and subtle energy to support regulation, coherence, and inward movement.
Metaphysical Mentoring
Karmic patterns, perceptual habits, and deeper inner dynamics are brought into awareness so they may be understood and transformed at their root.
Meditation Guidance
You are supported in developing or deepening an existing meditation practice that allows awareness to settle more fully into presence, where a deeper ground of being — and the movement toward Divine remembrance — begins to reveal itself.
Integration into Daily Life
The work is not separate from life. Insight, breath, and awareness are woven into how you live, relate, and respond, allowing transformation to move beyond the session into lived experience.
Private Online Learning PlatformÂ
You receive access to guided practices and recordings selected to support your process between sessions.
The Path of Transformation
As transformation unfolds, the breath refines, the nervous system softens, and awareness begins to settle into a quieter ground of being.
From this steadiness, the breath is no longer experienced simply as a function of the body, but as a subtle guide — orienting awareness inward, restoring coherence, and revealing a depth of presence that does not need to be created, only recognized.
This work supports you in:
Regulating from Within
Developing steadiness that arises from awareness itself rather than from effort or control.
Working Through Karmic Patterns
Bringing deeper conditioning into awareness so it can release its hold on perception and action.
Entering Inner Stillness
Allowing awareness to rest more fully in the quiet ground from which insight, alignment, and authentic guidance naturally emerge.
The Way the Work Unfolds
This work can unfold in more than one rhythm, depending on the needs of the individual and the stage of the journey. Some engage through an ongoing mentoring process that allows transformation to deepen over time; others enter through a more concentrated period of immersive practice.
Ongoing Mentoring
The mentoring unfolds in four-month arcs of eight sessions, offering a steady rhythm in which transformation can begin to take hold. Each arc stands complete in itself, while also opening the possibility of continuing further. Some pause at this point to integrate; others feel called to remain in the work as it deepens over time.

— 4-Month Arc
A timeframe that allows the work to deepen and integrate naturally.
Personal Intensives
For those who feel drawn to a more immersive format, Kathleen also offers private in-person intensives in Virginia, typically held over two to four days. These concentrated periods of practice allow the work to deepen through sustained breathwork, metaphysical mentoring that brings deeper patterns into awareness, contemplative inquiry, and meditation guidance held within a sacred space of presence that allows the work to deepen.
Some enter through the steady rhythm of mentorship, others through immersive practice, and many move between the two as the work deepens. Each rhythm offers its own way of supporting transformation, and the appropriate form often becomes clearer as the journey unfolds.
If something in this work resonates with you, the next step is simply to explore whether it feels right for your path at this time.
An Invitation
If you feel drawn toward a deeper process of transformation — one that unfolds through the contemplative practices of yoga, guided by breath and attentive awareness — this work offers a space to explore that path with clarity and grounded presence.
Because this work involves both personal and financial commitment, I offer a complimentary initial consultation. This allows us to meet, sense whether the work feels aligned, and determine together whether ongoing mentoring or a more immersive intensive feels like the right way to enter.
TESTIMONIALS
”The spiritual aspect of Kathleen's work really helped me feel safe, grounded, and surrounded by love. I was able to really be myself and explore my spiritual connection deeply in a non-judgmental setting with lots of support. The way Kathleen listens and brings such an open heart to sessions meant so much to me and made me feel at home and at ease.”
—Abigail Steidley, Master Life Coach & Founder of Mind-Body Magic Coach Training
"I have known Kathleen Barratt for over 25 years. I have known her as a breathwork facilitator, teacher and friend; in every category she has enriched my life beyond measure. In private breath sessions with Kathleen I grew in heart. In group study with her I grew in mind, and in friendship she has helped me grow as a person. The wisdom and compassion exhibited by Kathleen is very rarely embodied in one individual and I am truly grateful for her presence in my life."
—Martha Cordell, Intuitive Life Coach, Light Transference Therapy
"I recommend this training wholeheartedly and, that being said, be warned: the healing that happens personally under Kathleen's expert care is not for the faint of heart–you must be ready and willing to expose and explore your shadow to walk toward bliss and true joy. However, if you commit to the path you will find joy, clarity, and connection with the Divine in the most exquisite ways."
