TESTIMONIALS
I had no question that what I said was held in a safe space...
Just having someone to hold space for me and listen as I organized my thoughts was life-changing. Betsy has a gentle way of being that I found to be just what I needed, as I processed my life’s issues. I so enjoyed the possibility to share authentically in every session, I had no question that what I said was held in a safe space. I never felt that I was oversharing. It was so nice “to feel seen and heard” for the hours we spent together. My meditation practice has directly benefited from my time with Betsy, and it's been fun and effective to check in and to have accountability. I loved being coached by Betsy weekly because I felt like I could see incremental changes in me and my thinking week by week. This safe space was paramount to me seeing that I am stronger and more capable than I know. I feel like I have made a new friend, while having a professional relationship that keeps me in a growth mindset. Betsy could coach anyone who needs to sort out minor/major issues, confident that the answers are not from her, they’re IN YOU, and you just need someone to help you find your way to them.

Betsy was patient, calming, a good listener, supportive...
As I reflect on my coaching sessions with Betsy, I’m forever grateful for the experience. Prior to starting my Peer Coaching sessions with Betsy, I was struggling with an autoimmune disease, self care and work-life balance. As my nurse coach, Betsy was patient, calming, a good listener, supportive and offered a wealth of resources to help me achieve my goals. I’m thankful for my time with Betsy. Betsy helped me to focus more on self care and start back doing things that brought me joy. I would recommend Betsy to anyone in need of coaching and mentoring by a Nurse Coach. Betsy has a wealth of knowledge as a Nurse Coach. My life changed for the better.

She will exceed you're expectations!!
It was an absolute joy working with Betsy as my first Mindfulness partner. Right from the start, I felt a sense of calm and ease that she brought to our meetings, so naturally. She proved extremely knowledgeable in the areas of mindfulness and meditation and intentional breathing.. I felt it was an honor working with someone already so confident with such modalities. I truly learned alot from her style, techniques, advice, and great constructive feedback.. She blessed me more than I can express in a simple testimonial. Not only did she share great resources, but she also shared a piece of herself and heart with every session. I would suggest anyone who seeks to be grounded, manage stress, be present and aware in situations, or curious to learn more about such great tools as Mindfulness, meditation, and breathing, to consider working with Betsy. She will exceed you're expectations!!

She takes her time to emphasize a powerful and effective session...
Working with Betsy has been a marvelous experience! Betsy has taught me new breathing techniques, as well as tools and resources I can send to future clients about beginner meditations. She is so enjoyable to work with and is really patient. She takes her time to emphasize a powerful and effective session. I would recommend anyone to Betsy whether starting out or not!

I always left the sessions with new insights...
I found Betsy’s approach to meditation very refreshing. I learned new techniques to aid my practice. I always left the sessions with new insights and valuable skills that I use pretty much every day. Betsy is very warm, intelligent, and inspiring. She guides the meditation in an easy-to-follow manner in a safe environment. The most significant and most immediate result I found was a feeling of deeper physical and mental rest. I love to work with Betsy, and I highly recommend Betsy as a nurse coach.

She helped me get to the core of what triggered decisions...
I'd had covid-19. I gained a lot of weight and I was in a depression spiral brought on by work and the pandemic. I deeply appreciated the attention to detail to the events that shaped my less than healthy food decisions. She helped me get to the core of what triggered decisions that were detrimental to my well being. I appreciated her professionalism and knowledge. I also really appreciated her introducing me to the Headspace App. It has helped me center myself. I've been making healthier food choices. I'm getting more sleep. Though I have a better idea of how to center and calm, I don't always do it, but I know how. I appreciate her work with me to develop those skills. I've come to recognize that my situation is not as hopeless as I thought it was. I'm capable of making better choices. I can set a goal and see my way toward achieving it.

Betsy helped me by giving me a safe space to explore my feelings...
Before working with Betsy I was struggling with my emotional well being surrounding parenting and general anxiety. I also had concerns about nutrition for my children and parents. Betsy helped me by giving me a safe space to explore my feelings and set goals to improve my behavior and confidence. She also researched nutritional needs for different ages and health conditions to help me improve my family's health.
Betsy was happy to personalize treatment and really listened to my needs and concerns before designing a program for me. I would recommend Betsy to anyone who has questions they are afraid to ask; she will make anyone feel comfortable and heard.

Understanding how to heal oneself is priceless and Betsy helps one do that!
It has been quite a year - 2020! Having our scheduled meetings was a delight. A focused time for myself and what matters to me was great.
Betsy is very kind, gentle, and professional.
Betsy showed me how to use Tapping for anxiety. The guided meditations were also wonderful. I always felt great after our meetings - relaxed and motivated.
I would recommend Betsy’s coaching to any of my friends who I believe would enjoy getting focused and want to learn more about themselves. Understanding how to heal oneself is priceless and Betsy helps one do that!

The biggest value I received was the help she gave me in developing my awareness...
Betsy is very easy to talk to and it was nice to weave in different topics into our discussions. Betsy had a number of good suggestions for resources to help with meditation, exercise, nutritional knowledge. It was nice that she had had experience with what she recommended. The biggest value I received was the help she gave me in developing my awareness of what I was doing that was positive and what I could do to make some improvements.
Increased awareness, gave me more intention, exposed me to resources that I was not familiar with, helped me with accepting what I am doing without beating myself up about what I am not doing.
I think the resources that Betsy introduced to me will be the pathway to greater insights and learning. I think I have to do that on my own. I think the coaching was as it should be – set me in the right direction and develop the tools to be able to move in that direction on my own.
I recommend her to anyone who is interested in their health and wants to add mindfulness and a more holistic approach to maintaining their well-being – mind and body.

One of the most meaningful sessions was when we did a guided meditation...
Thanks Betsy!! You were great!
Since leaving a difficult marriage, I have been going through a transition and transformation toward a new life and self. My children are now both (recently) out of the nest and I thought coaching might be useful to clarify my goals and give me the tools that would help support me in this new stage of life.
Betsy was easy to talk with and I felt very safe opening up to her. She was a good listener and her suggestions were practical and doable. She emphasized the importance of living in a more purposeful way: visualizing goals and then forming the habits that will lead you to them. By breaking things down into daily goals with weekly check-ins I felt supported and guided through the process, and consequently found myself more productive and happy.
One of the most meaningful sessions was when we did a guided meditation. It took me through many stages, including making peace with my past and visualizing what I wanted for my future. I ended up being surprised that my future visualization was different than what I thought I had wanted. The session made me realize the power of visualization and meditation to reconnect with my inner self, reground, and reassess my goals. It gave me a renewed desire to incorporate meditation into my daily routine.
Betsy emphasized and re-emphasized the importance of habits like morning visualization and daily goal setting, exercise, making lists, and meditation. Her mantra of living life in a purposeful way, and with daily habits that lead you to your big goals was simple, yet inspiring. She even used examples from her own life to show that it could be done. She sent a weekly goals checklist after our sessions along with multiple links to resources that could help in reaching individual goals, giving me additional tools to continue on my own.
I felt like what Betsy did for me was extraordinary and yet also not, in that what she did is something I can now do for myself, in large part thanks to the tools and philosophy she shared. I would wholeheartedly recommend Betsy.

The thing I liked most about our coaching relationship was the humor and sense of fun she brought to our sessions...
Before I started working with Betsy I had relapsed on drugs, had lost my sense of spirituality, and was very physically unhealthy with no plan on how to change these things. Betsy listened to me carefully and then provided me with practical ideas for making positive changes in my life as well sharing exercises both physical and mental that helped me to begin my journey towards healing.
My experience with Betsy was very positive. The thing I liked most about our coaching relationship was the humor and sense of fun she brought to our sessions which made me feel like I was dealing with a friend instead of a professional.
A benefit I achieved from working with Betsy was beginning an exercise routine, and actually losing weight by the end of our time together. Betsy also helped me get through some spiritual blockages I was suffering from at the time.
I have gained insight into some very self destructive patterns and was shown that I didn’t have to keep repeating these patterns.
I would recommend Betsy to anyone who wants to work on all aspects of their human experience. If you want to improve your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health you are the perfect candidate for Betsy’s unique and exciting approach to healing.

The fresh insights and questions that she added brought my thinking on old themes in my life to a whole new level...
Working with a coach was a new experience for me, but Betsy made it feel so natural and easy. Her warmth and excellent listening skills together with her ability to "echo" back what I said in her own words made me feel heard and understood in a really new way.
The fresh insights and questions that she added brought my thinking on old themes in my life to a whole new level. She was kind and empathetic but not unwilling to bring forward new ideas and questions to challenge my status quo and complancency. My thinking had fallen into such a rut in my own mind and working with Betsy really helped lift it out onto a new track.
The specific challenges I brought to our sessions revolved around finances, household management, and communication with my spouse. I came away from sessions with Betsy with specific tangible tasks, goals, and ideas on how to address those problem areas in my life and with a sense of having been guided by a caring, wise, friend.
I have always said, "I can handle this problem on my own" or "things will get better on their own eventually" thinking made me independent, strong and optimistic but now realize the folly of such thinking. Why struggle alone when expert help is available. Anyone with problems or challenging issues in their life (i.e. everyone) could benefit from Betsy's coaching and would enjoy the process very much!
