What my clients are saying...
Bethany's gifts of empathy and insight supported several critical decisions in my personal and professional life, new thinking and action around key stuck points that prevented me from moving forward (figuratively and literally), and self-compassion when attending to my own thoughts and emotions. Bethany repeatedly got to the heart of the matter by asking good questions and sharing perceptive observations; used extended metaphors that inspired a new way of seeing and acting. I consistently felt uniquely understood and supported by Bethany, meaning I’ve sought support for some of these items before from others who were rarely as effective as Bethany.
Amy, California
I have a deep appreciation for the way Bethany coaches through the art of witnessing. She invites me to go inward with the sorts of questions that widen my curiosity and often return me to lessons that have beckoned my attention for years. There are patterns and paths I have carved in the wild places between despair and hope. I wish for every minister or leader to have someone like Bethany, on their path, noticing and nudging to go inward, so we can move outward with more authenticity and freedom.

An hour coaching with Bethany is like doing a hard core workout. Afterward you feel a little sore and tender but you know you are growing some serious muscles! She is honest, upfront and is going to ask you the questions you are afraid to ask. I see Bethany as an original thinker, whose insights have shaped my ministry for the better.
Rev. Cheryl, Pennsylvania
Working with Bethany was extremely helpful as our congregation began a ministry to people with disabilities. Bethany exhibited much knowledge of the subject. She is adept at framing questions in such a way that help people think outside the box and tap into their creativity. Bethany is easy to talk to and always encouraging. She gave us the confidence and focus we needed to try something that our congregation had never done before.
