Especially for women in the childbearing cycle, Betsy is passionate about focusing on the needs of your pregnant soul.  In one-on-one sessions Betsy holds the space for you to deepen your awareness of the sacred in each moment throughout the cycle of fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

Pregnancy and childbirth are profound transformations for our bodies and minds.  For those interested in a holistic approach to pregnancy and childbirth, the spiritual aspects of this great transformation cry out to be acknowledged and celebrated too.

From feeling the first flutterings of your child in utero to experiencing the moment of delivery, Betsy helps you to create a spiritual context for all that is happening to you as you birth yourself into motherhood.

By weaving together guided visualization, creative expression, and exploration of your story, Betsy helps you to awaken to and honor the body, mind, spirit connection in your life as an emerging mother.

Just as you pamper your body during pregnancy – indulge yourself in this quite time for reflection – as both your soul and your little one’s spirit unfold together!
