Meet Betsy

Betsy's journey into healing work began when she stepped onto a yoga mat at age eleven, not knowing that this practice would become the foundation for a lifetime of guiding others toward embodied living and wholeness. After nearly a decade of practice, she earned her 200-hour certification at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in 2011, drawn to their inclusive, compassionate approach that honors every body and every story.

What started as personal healing naturally evolved into a calling to create safe spaces where others could discover their own path to transformation. For over twelve years, she's taught yoga and meditation to students from ages four to one hundred, believing deeply that healing practices should be accessible to all.

Her understanding of the body's wisdom deepened through her study of Polarity Therapy, a holistic healing modality that combines eastern and western medicine to support whole-body wellness and nervous system regulation. After experiencing the life-changing effects of this gentle, body-centered approach in her own system, Betsy pursued training with Janice Marie Durand at the Tree of Life Center, drawn to how Polarity Therapy helps clients feel truly embodied and reconnect with their innate capacity for healing. This work beautifully complements her yoga and mindfulness practice, offering another pathway for people to discover the resources they already possess and develop practical tools for living well.

When her father died, Betsy faced one of life's most profound transitions and discovered that grief could become a doorway to deeper purpose. She transformed her sorrow into art by co-producing Captain Scott B and the Great Adventure, a documentary that follows her journey of completing the film project her father had begun. Through vulnerable storytelling, writing, and narration, she illuminated how we can turn our deepest losses into sources of healing, connection, and creative expression.

This experience of walking through grief with presence and courage led her to create the Embracing Death, Dying, & Living Program, where she guides others to live more fully by embracing life's impermanence and preparing mindfully for its transitions. Today, Betsy offers group classes, workshops, one-on-one sessions, and transformational experiences that honor the body's wisdom, the heart's resilience, and the spirit's capacity for transformation—always supporting others in aligning with their deepest values and discovering the full adventure of being human.
