Breathwork Coaching & Spiritual Mentorship
Virtual + In Person Options Available
Dana Bolt Barber offers guided breathwork and spiritual mentorship designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and intuitive clarity. Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply embodied—meeting clients where they are while gently guiding transformation.
Dana’s work is centered in spiritual healing that is uniquely catered for each client she serves. Dana is an incredible space holder. She is especially gifted in helping deconstruct harmful ideologies from high control religion and purity culture. She will help you discover what aligned communication and behavior looks and feels like on a deep, somatic level. Her breathwork coaching is a very direct and effective modality for individuals to find their own freedom and spiritual center without relying on harmful systems. She believes that the MIND-BODY-SPIRIT all needs to be engaged to create real healing.
Dana grew up in Michigan in a devout Evangelical household. Much of her spiritual views were shaped by purity culture and a drive for perfection. As Dana grew up and out of her childhood conditioning, she saw the incongruencies with the church teachings. While she no longer identifies as a Christian, she has found deep meaning in spirituality and has spent well over 25 years exploring the spiritual path without the conditions of high control systems.
Dana has had many experiences that helped shape her current spiritual beliefs and mentorship offerings. This includes obtaining her Social Work degree and working with vulnerable populations in the 2000’s, further demonstrating inconsistencies with church teachings. She also is incredibly gifted with grief due to facing her grief in real ways when her Mother unexpectedly died in 2013. Dana has also survived a severe sepsis infection that has taught her about her own shadow and helped inform her forever winding spiritual journey.
Dana feels passionate about creating personal liberation in her family line. She does this work for her ancestors as well as her own children as she believes that healing the root and living a spiritually aligned life is the key to personal and collective liberation. Dana is IFS-informed and has trained in Breathwork with teacher David Elliot and has completed multiple coaching programs. Most importantly, Dana identifies as a Mother, Wife, Sister, Neighbor and Friend. Her relationships are the center of her life and she hopes to help mentor others towards deep connection in their lives.

Dana is empowering in the kindest, supportive and most understanding way. She has offered resources in her coaching that have helped both with my life vision and daily outcomes. She lead me with no judgement at any point in my journey. She is sincerely the type of human you want alongside you when working to be your best self! The Breathwork session I had with her was enlightening! I hadn’t ever experienced it, so it was great to do this with Dana. She gently walked me through the process, and had a great listening ear afterward. I look forward to working with her again!

“I participated in a group Breathwork session with Dana and it surpassed my expectations!

For me, this type of meditation was amazingly intense and definitely helped me tap into a new awareness of myself. I highly recommend Dana and her Breathwork magic!”
Jessica-Realtor, Fort Collins, CO
It’s difficult to accurately describe the profound work we accomplished in 6 months. Every session with Dana felt productive, supportive, nurturing and so incredibly genuine. To say that she was born for this work feels like an understatement. I am thankful for the light and skill that Dana shared with me. My personal and professional life have benefited tremendously from her creative and natural ability to wade through some of my difficult life circumstances. It felt so comfortable to share my fears and my successes with her and to look to a brighter future of adventure with a wide open heart.
Sara-Physician, Seattle
The first time I talked to Dana I was skeptical that she was going to help mostly because of my past experiences with talking to someone. However I was very wrong. I think she could hear the nerves in my voice the first time I picked up the phone so she kicked it off with making me laugh, from right there I knew that I was sold. Within the first 15 minutes I felt like I was able to trust and just be open with her, she was so easy to talk to. I had no idea what path I wanted to take, I was nervous about the world and really couldn't answer a single one of her questions. As the weeks progressed I felt stronger, more confident talking to her. She gave me confidence to talk to her about things that I wanted to change. Even though I'm still on my way to becoming the person that I want to be, with each passing day I feel more and more confident with myself and I have her faith in me to thank for that.

I always looked forward to Dana's calls - always right on time. She has this beautiful Great Mother energy that you never want to leave! I wholeheartedly recommend her work- it is a force for Good. With gentle questions, Dana completely transformed the way I view my spirituality. Today, I have a new empowering belief about the world.
Alicia -Conscious parenting coach & Mom, California
Dana is hands down one of the best coaches I have ever worked with. She came into my life where I was feeling lost, ungrounded and unable to make clear decisions. She helped me navigate some of the most difficult decisions and transitions in my life in order to be led to what was truly going to serve me in the best way possible. Her coaching, intuitive and empathic abilities to relate and help me be led to the answers within myself have made the utmost difference in my life; helping me find my purpose, understand my relationships, and let go of old patterns that were no longer serving me. She is such an amazing force of light, strength and love. I would recommend working with her to anyone who is truly ready to experience profound shifts and changes in their life!
