Holistic Coach, Reiki Master & Writer
About Coach Betsy
Hi, I’m Betsy, and I’m delighted to welcome you to my holistic coaching practice. I hold a degree in Health Psychology from Bastyr University, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding the intricate connections between mind, body, and spirit. My path has led me to become both a holistic life coach and Reiki master, and I’m deeply passionate about guiding others on their journeys of self-discovery and healing.
You may have found your way here because of changes in your health, a difficult diagnosis, shifts in your family life such as divorce or an empty nest, or transitions in your work. Or perhaps you feel called to explore a more spiritual path or are seeking support in living a sober life. Whatever has brought you here, know that you are not alone.
I’ve spent decades getting to know myself more fully and have come to deeply appreciate the value of thoughtful inner reflection. I provide a space where we take a compassionate and honest look within, beginning with the practice of finding simple joys in our everyday lives.
My personalized coaching sessions include opportunities to:
● Recognize your intuitive healing capacity with practical strategies
● Unlock your true potential in all areas of your life
● Connect with your authentic inner voice
● Learn to trust a higher power
Without connection and a willingness to step in, even the most practical tools will only take us so far. Wherever you are on your path, I’ll meet you there. I’ve worked with individuals across a wide spectrum—from those yearning to feel more expressive to those learning to embrace solitude; from those just beginning to explore personal preferences to those with strong, well-established ones. Gaining clarity about your own preferences in life—and claiming them—sets the standard for how you show up in the world. Whether you’re seeking balance in your home or work life, clarity in your relationships, or a deeper connection with yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I once heard someone ask, “What’s your secret sauce to life?” That question has stayed with me. After much reflection, I believe my answer is this: I’ve known pain. I’ve walked through suffering, addiction, family struggles, and health challenges—more than I often share. Those experiences gave me a deep well of compassion for the pain of others.
I wouldn’t necessarily choose any of it again, but I can see now how they shaped me into who I am today. And I love who I’ve become. In many ways, those struggles have turned into gifts. This is the heart of my work: to walk alongside others with understanding, to hold space for healing, and to remind you that you are never alone on your journey. Together, we can embrace the wisdom and light that already lives within us.
Joyful FACTS about Coach Betsy
01
I have a beautiful family with four wonderful grandchildren. Just like me, they all love exploring their intuitive, innate nature.
02
I enjoy traveling and discovering new places, always curious about what I discover that brings me joy today. One way I nurture this is by keeping a “joy list”—and I get so much excitement when I find something new to add. The ocean, in particular, brings me immense joy. There’s something magical about it, and I often find peace and inspiration simply being near its shores.
03
I’ve been sober for over 40 years and remain actively involved in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), supporting others on their journeys to sobriety. If you find yourself in the midst of this transition, I’m here to support you on a path I’ve known to lasting peace and a lifetime of sobriety.
