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 had been referred to Bethany by a friend. Bethany truly has a gift. I went into my time with her with an open mind and not really knowing just what to expect. I was blown away. To start, Bethany is a beautiful soul. From the moment I met her, I felt like I had known her long before that moment and was overwhelmed by a sense of calming, as well as, trust. Her place of business is very welcoming and charming. The spiritual journey we went on was so incredibly beautiful. The spirits we connected with, I believe truly were there with us in that moment. It was honestly life-changing and lifted my spirits. I am so thankful for my friend that directed me to get and for my time with her that day.

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.

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 met me where I was in the moment and was able to help me begin to unravel some paralyzing anxiety. She was able to affirm that spirit was inviting me and help me to begin to have confidence again to relax and listen.

Nancy Matteuzzi

Bethany listens extremely carefully, and then draws on a big variety of resources--some commonly found in my denomination, some I've never heard of--to hold up a mirror of sorts that reflects to me another way to look at what I'm trying to articulate or explore. That really helps me a) not feel crazy, or like I'm the only person who ever wondered about something, and b) helps me formulate the next step in my thinking on the subject.

-WB

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.

-ARB

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.

I came across A New EverAfter and was taken aback by the magical energy of the Instagram page and was completely intrigued by her readings. After receiving a reading I was blown away by the nature of how the charms and guidance cards gave insight that I could resonate with. I have never experienced a reading where the charms are another form of communication of guidance. I was surprised at the accuracy of the reading but incredibly grateful that there was a consultation session to unpack the reading and to see what techniques or messages could give further support. I highly recommend A New EverAfter, and definitely looking forward to another reading soon.

Bianca Lentini

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.

I had the privilege of attending an intimate group event where Bethany and another medium where both demonstrating evidential mediumship together with the same Spirit! An advanced mediumship technique that she nailed on the first connection with Spirit. At first, I was so wrapped up in watching her give the evidence to the group and the feeling of love that was permeating through the air that I was in complete shock when I realized that it was absolutely 100% my paternal Grandmother. She brought through the essence of her soul and described how I remember most of our time together! After Bethany was able to validate her with a relationship, physical description, activities important to her and even bring through certain smells associated with her she gave me the most wonderful healing message of love. This activated so much healing in me as this woman was also the only mother figure for most of my childhood and there was so much that was unspoken after a very traumatic family event. Knowing my grandmother is at peace and no longer holding onto some of the most painful life events in our family was such a relief. I had no idea how much I needed that until I was given this gift from Bethany's reading. She was incredibly compassionate and gentle in her approach. I would definitely recommend her wholeheartedly and I look forward to getting another reading from her in the future

Hope Taylor

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.

Anon

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.

-JB

The reading was amazing! Bethany delivered a very accurate message to me from my maternal grandmother, Rose. It was a very powerful message and that will stay with me forever. Thank you, Bethany, for being the vessel.

Julia Brown

Spiritual Direction has been really helpful for me because it provides someone with expertise and context for me to process my questions and ideas with. Someone who cares about me and that journey.

Bethany brings patience, broad context, and expertise that can provide examples to explain things to me.

Anon

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.

-SG

I had the privilege of receiving a reading from Bethany recently and can only say I suspected she may have been stalking me from across the ocean as she could see my situation all the way from the United States to here in the UK with astounding clarity! It was absolutely spot on and gave me great insight into what I've been dealing with and guidance to move forward. Bethany has a wealth of tools at her disposal which made for a more concrete reading with one tool backing up the next's findings. Making for a more thorough and understandable reading. On top of all this Bethany was an absolute delight to talk to, like meeting an old friend who has known you as well as the very essence of the universe for a long time. I would highly recommend her services for anyone searching for some soul clarity and direction.

Catherine ODea-Hughes

My session with Bethany was soothing, pleasant, and beautiful. She listened to me and asked the questions that would help me find the answers inside myself. In her presence and eloquence, she guided me to my own inner wisdom and knowledge. Working with her will help my long-term unfoldment as it has made me more reflective and thoughtful about my mediumship.

And, I was immediately able to put into practice what I learned with her and found that my readings had more depth, meaning, direction, and inspiration.

Bethany helps mediums see where they are at, what their intentions are, what they really want for their mediumship as well as develops clarity for where they want to go. Like me, Bethany knows that mediumship is an important service to others and her gentle guidance helps mediums see their work in new ways. - Silvia Maria Grazia

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.

-HB

My Full Scope Reading with Bethany was so insightful and absolutely amazing! I thoroughly appreciate the different tools Bethany uses for the reading. From the Jungian backdrop to Astrology, it all comes together so seamlessly. The collection of charms makes it the most beautiful reading I've ever seen. Most importantly - and most impressively - Bethany's knowledge of all the tools she possesses and uses creates a very accurate and detailed reading. She is phenomenal. I have been given encouragement, focus, and a clear understanding of my journey.

Michelle Ahmed

My work with Bethany is the guidance I have been hungry for my whole life. In our spiritual direction sessions, she is compassionate, wise, and present. I don’t think I have ever worked with a counselor or therapist who was able to enter the heart of my thoughts as quickly as Bethany. She is comfortable and comforting in the midst of the mucky, deep messiness of life. I consider her a guide who helps shine a light on the questions I need to explore, the emotions I need to feel, and the discoveries I need to process in my personal, evolving relationship with God.
Bethany has a unique, true gift for companionship and directing with an open heart and loving mind.

KW

My time with Bethany has been so beautiful and healing. She really knows how to create sacred space between her, yourself, and Spirit, leaving ample room for deep spiritual insights . I've had some wonderful a-ha moments that have left a sweet impact on my heart and I'm so grateful for having this time together. If you've been thinking about it, this is your sign to partner with Bethany and embark on your own spiritual journey with her. You won't regret it!

CA

When I first came to Bethany, I felt very competent in spiritual growth and was continually seeking to understand the root causes of my tumultuous life experiences. I was continually thrown about by ups and downs of my emotions and spent most of my time trying to remain functional, while feeling like life was slipping by me. Bethany’s profound wisdom and ability to clearly see me has helped me to heal my impulse to continually fix myself and to stop digging for answers, while still being present to the unfolding of the Divine in my life. This has propelled me to find such ease and grace in my daily life, catalyzed me into knowing my own power and now I have the energetic freedom in my daily life to focus on starting my own thriving business. Of all the spiritual growth modalities I have been blessed to experience in this life, being a Spiritual Directee of Bethany’s has been the most powerful of all, and I look forward to continue receiving support from this sacred relationship for many years to come.

JY

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

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.

-KD

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.
