Barrett Freibert
is a spiritual and trauma-informed coach, writer, yoga instructor, and a muse for transforming challenge into epiphany.
I guide clients to release trauma and self-sabotage that is blocking them from achieving their deepest desires in work, love, and life. I use scientifically proven techniques to identify and release trauma, emotional blockages, limiting beliefs, unwanted thought patterns, or behaviors that create self-sabotage. Then, we work together to create new empowering beliefs, mindset, and neural pathways that support their goals and create last results.
I empower clients to accomplish their goals using the Enneagram, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), trauma release modalities, embodiment practices, meditation, yoga, reiki, energy work, and more. I am a certified Master Trainer, Practitioner, and Coach of NLP, Enneagram teacher, Reiki Master, a certified 500-hour yoga teacher, Brainspotting and The Emotion Code practitioner (two powerful trauma release modalities). Although I attribute most of my success as a coach and teacher from direct life experience…
A decade ago in my mid-twenties, I had just mustered the courage to leave a lucrative job that was not aligned with my core values. I was completely burnt out from work and from running away from my unhealed wounds and traumas. And still hadn’t processed my parents divorce when I was 11, my father’s sudden death when at age 14, and other traumas.
My coping addiction was to escape this exquisite pain through busyness. I lusted for the experience of being alive and had no interest in feeling anything else—so I got high off pushing myself through overworking, over exercising, over cleaning, partying, multitasking, reading, succeeding, socializing, and staying busy constantly. Rest and digest were not in my vocabulary. Even after I left my full-time job, the universe saw I had no intention of slowing down and forced a screeching stop to my “overdoing” with chronic insomnia, Lyme disease, adrenal fatigue, and a host of other mystery illnesses.
Being sick was my biggest blessing in disguise. During that time, I realized that until I processed, released, and began to heal my traumas (as well as the limiting belief that “I am not enough”) they would control my life. To take ownership that my running away, “busyness,” and unresolved trauma had created my illness was excruciating; AND it was also the most empowering moment of my life. If I co-created my illness, depression, and exhaustion, then I could un-create it. This realization was the impetus to complete healing and wholeness.
When I began to process and do release work around my traumas I healed my Lyme and sleep returned. Not only did trauma release work help heal my physical body, it also put me on the path of my true purpose—which is coaching, teaching, and writing.
I have healed myself from past traumas and illnesses including; chronic insomnia, Lyme disease, disorderly eating, depression, anxiety, abuse, and grief. And you can too!
I feel most at home practicing yoga, writing poetry, sipping coffee outdoors, hiking, laughing hysterically with friends, and belting music driving down winding country roads, windows down, hair blowin’ the wind…
Testimonials
“I first meet Barrett as a yoga teacher and signed up to coach with her. I had just gone through divorce, a loss of a parent, trying to accept that my kids are grown and starting their life’s, and wondering how to find happiness and what my life would look like in my next chapter.I had done therapy and read self help books in the past, but they didn’t create the results I knew were possible.
Through the Enneagram and trauma release work with Barrett, I began to understand every choice I make determines who I am and my present circumstances. This embodied learning inspired me to make necessary changes in my life to achieve my goals. Barrett helped me release my past traumas and self-sabotage patterns, challenged me, and inspired me to not only do the work, but stay in the work. Not only did Barrett help me with her own talents and coaching, she provided a network of resources to help me heal my body. Through her network of professional experts, she introduced me to Cryotherapy, holistic nutrition, chiropractic work, breath work, and a spiritual journey.
Since I started working with Barrett one year ago, I feel the best I have ever felt mentally and physically. I have lost 30lbs, found a solid relationship with my children, let go of toxic people in my life, sleep the best I can remember, let go the sabotage of food and alcohol that had been my crutches in the past. And I walk around with joy in my heart! Thank you Barrett!” — Rob Morrison
“I’ve spent most of my life in therapy and doing advanced personal work and can say confidently that Barrett is one of the most intuitive and compassionate coaches I’ve worked with. She was able to help uncover issues that I had suppressed for decades. It hard work, but Barrett made sure I felt safe and was extremely knowledgeable about everything we uncovered. Not only did I feel safe to remember, emote, and process with Barrett, but I walked away with a empowered perception of old wounds, myself, and my future. Through our work with NLP & the Enneagram, I have manifested an abundance of happiness and success both personally and professionally - beyond what I ever thought imaginable. Barrett has given me the tools to uncover core parts of myself, and not only unlock but begin walking in my full potential. I’m incredibly grateful to have met Barrett and am confident she has the ability to help anyone. I trust her knowledge, training, and intentions. I’d recommend everyone looking to grow, increase personal awareness and heal old traumas to work with Barrett Freibert.” — Barrett Gargala
My journey with Barrett began on a yoga mat and evolved to personal and career growth through her Enneagram leadership and teaching. I was searching for a way for my team to develop an authentic connection by learning more about ourselves, and the Enneagram was the unlock. Barrett compassionately lead us through the Enneagram results helping us navigate the nuances, leading us to personal & team insights and “aha moments”. She is intuitive and well versed in bringing the Enneagram to life, providing comfort and allows space for fantastic dialogue. This process has unlocked personal and professional progress for myself and my team - I’ll be forever grateful for Barrett! — Jennifer Lett, Director, Guest Experience, KFC US Operations
Working with Barrett as my empowerment coach was incredible. She helped me release baggage that allowed space for inspiration and manifestation, especially in my relationships. I am now in a committed, loving, spiritual, healthy, and fun relationship with the man of my dreams. Barrett helped me set goals that turned into realities. Even though we coached around relationships, Barrett’s coaching also improved my spirituality, career, finances, and health too. I always looked forward to our weekly sessions. I highly recommend Barrett! - Sarah Kohnhorst
Six months ago, I contacted Barrett to improve my emotional state after a failed relationship. Through her coaching, I've learned so much about myself and the root behind so many of my thoughts, feelings, and reactions. Even though it wasn't my original reason for reaching out to her, I have lost 15 pounds over the course of our work so far! I am more confident in my body now than I've ever been. I would strongly recommend Barrett to anyone looking to better themselves in any aspect of their lives. - Suzy Yoder
