Restorative Breathwork® Master Facilitator Training
This private mentorship with Kathleen Barratt is a highly individualized, immersive training for seasoned practitioners called to embody and transmit the most refined expression of Restorative Breathwork®. Rooted in advanced meditative practices and subtle energy awareness, this program guides you into the mystical dimensions of the breath—where presence becomes transmission, and stillness opens the way to spiritual unfolding.
A distinctive aspect of this training is the integration of bioenergy, a form of pranic healing rooted in the traditions of Qigong. As a practitioner, you will learn to sense and direct subtle energy, gently transferring it into the client’s field during breath sessions to support energetic rebalancing and deepen meditative states. This sacred energy work enhances the spiritual receptivity of each session, allowing the breath to lead both practitioner and client into profound levels of silence, insight, and soul alignment.
Through one-on-one mentorship, a guided practicum, and advanced breath and energy practices—including third-eye development and inner perception—you will deepen your capacity to hold space from stillness and serve as a clear vessel for the deeper currents of healing and transformation.
This training is offered by application and interview to those who have completed the Advanced Facilitator Training and are prepared to step fully into the sacred art of spiritual facilitation.
Training Structure
