About Betsy

"From this place in my life, I can tell you life is a journey. There are few straight

paths, but there are plenty of turns in the road and obstacles to overcome. My

path has brought me to this work. My goal is to help you on your journey from

wherever you have come from to wherever you are right now. The way forward is

found here in the present. Unlocking who you are in the present is the key to

unlocking the path to your future."

Betsy came to Bonding and Behavior after a long and fulfilling career in education.

power of nature to help heal the body and the mind.
