Beth creates an inclusive space for women of all ages and demographics; a shared strength is circulated, empowering each other to participate meaningfully within their desired comfort level. We gather to uplift one another and develop deeper connections with ourselves and others.

Soul Session Workshops & Private Events
I offer ongoing online and in-person workshops, women’s circles, transformational retreats, and deeper dive 1:1 sessions with my clients. I help conscious women gain clarity and courage to make empowered life choices. I know the experience of feeling like your life isn’t yours anymore and no longer representative of your deepest desires and dreams. Likewise, I know the feeling of being completely stuck and lost and being disconnected and alone, even when surrounded by loved ones and engaged in situations that look like they should be enough but aren’t.
I have found that prioritizing our relationship with ourselves allows us to reconnect with our joy, clarify our purpose, and create the conditions for everything we choose, including our relationships, to flourish and flow.
My mission is to help women embody their Truth by reconnecting to their Inner Magic to create the inspired and fulfilling lives their souls crave.
Each Women’s Circle meets once a month on the 1st or 3rd Tuesday of the month. The next iteration will commence March 21, 2023.
