Affirmations

It seems that all the aspects of her ministry help people to deepen their connection to and understanding of themselves while tapping into something beyond the ordinary. The various paths move people toward healing, hope, and clarity.

I am grateful for the way in which she helps me to not only connect to my “authentic self,” but to value it. By her careful listening and responses that are infused with her broad knowledge of spiritual writers and practices and powerful stories, I feel valued and understood by her. I also appreciate that she shares from her own work and self-growth. This helps to form a true healing relationship.

Most importantly she gave me the invitation to the process. I feel safe and encouraged.

Bethany listens to the stories of people’s lives, seeing them as sacred stories, and helps them connect with the divine and find meaning and purpose in their own lives. …She is very committed to learning about the depth of spirituality from many different faith traditions, and so she is able to help guide people by honoring their own spiritual path.

There aren't enough beautiful words to describe what its like to get a reading from Bethany. Every time I get a reading from her I'm overwhelmed by the kind, loving, and supportive messages of the cards and the gentle way Bethany delivers them. Her readings always speak to exactly what I need to hear and have helped me learn so much about myself and how I can start growing from my past and into the future. Even when faced with something that is hard to hear, Bethany and her cards hold your hand through the process, making you feel warm and loved as you sit in the moment. I always leave a reading feeling better than I did when I went in.

Spiritual direction has encouraged me to dig deep, to really explore my spirituality and examine why I feel the way I do. Most importantly, having a spiritual director is allowing me to grow and let my own beliefs shine, all while incorporating the spiritual beliefs and practices of my childhood and youth.

Bethany has a calm demeanor, an open mind, a judgment-free space, and love. Also gentle nudges and challenges. She is a fine spiritual director and those under her guidance are blessed to have her.

Bethany is one of the most in-tune, enlightened, and caring people that I have had the opportunity and privilege to know. My life is truly better because of her and her sage wisdom.

My quality of life has improved as a result of Spiritual Direction. I gained the courage to say no to things that no longer served my growth or that created stress and tension in my life…I have also been able to approach a major transition in my life with less fear and apprehension and more openness and curiosity about what life will bring. I have learned that the more challenging the situation, the more I can learn from it. I am learning to struggle less and accept my experience as it is, and stay with it no matter how painful.

Bethany brings deep listening – I feel that she really understands what I am saying. She anticipates my needs – everything she says exactly answers my questions and concerns, and often even those I have not yet been able to formulate in my mind. She offers deep emotional connection and understanding of the soul. She is full of optimism – I always feel better and easy to move into life with all its difficult situation, people, and emotions.

Bethany helps me realize the potential in myself; showing me that I have all the tools I need already. She guides me gently back to the things I once knew before my world fell to pieces. She makes me do the hard work, but it is always in a positive light. And for that, I am grateful.

I spent a lifetime trying to understand what vexed me. In just 45 minutes, Bethany nailed it. Not only did she help uncover what I had struggled with all my life, but she did it with such gentle love. I've felt more peace since I began Spiritual Direction.

No matter your journey or what path you are on, Bethany is INCREDIBLE. I spent just one hour speaking with her, and could not believe her font of not only knowledge, but wisdom. She helped me so much in just one meeting. No agenda. No ego. Just me and what I need, rising to the surface of consciousness.

Spiritual Direction is helping me to be more aware of how love moves (and sometimes doesn’t move) in my life. Bethany sees things in a different way than I do and her insight has been helpful and so spot on! It is helping me be more kind and loving.

I especially appreciate her gifts of deep listening. She is adept at discerning the direction I am heading, and then gently guides me there without pushing. She brings such kindness, acceptance, and generosity to her work.

Bethany is…calm, loving, and it felt safe to explore issues (especially ones that hurt). She listens. Truly listens. And she gives great resources which I am grateful for.

Her love and passion show through as well as her knowledge. I have enjoyed this journey (even with the growth pains) and it truly helps to see that I am normal with my spiritual journey.

I believe that this is Bethany’s gift, she sees what we don’t see in ourselves and guides us there so gently that once you catch a glimpse you are compelled to move closer. It's as if her very being provides a loving, secure and inviting space to explore who you are and what you are called to do.
