words of admiration

Beth is a fantastic teacher. I came to Beth following a snowboarding accident that left me with a fractured T5 vertebrae and chronic pain in the surrounding region. I was also recovering from a lower back strain. Basically, my whole back was messed up and causing a lot of discomfort. Beth's approach was unique in that she combined strengthening with flexibility and mindfulness to not only treat the existing symptoms, but also to prevent injuries like this from happening again. Beth is a great listener as well, and we spent a full session going over all aspects of my health, so that she could tailor a set of exercises to my specific needs. Beth is also a genuine and caring person, and I'd highly recommend working with her. —Kelden

I experience stress-related chronic pain and anxiety. I had no idea yoga therapy could help until I started with Beth. She not only guides me through the steps in identifying why I am stressed and which part of my body is affected, but also teaches me how to ameliorate the pain on my own time. Excited to continue learning! —Mary

I worked with Beth to heal a lower back injury that was only getting worse over time and traveling into my hip. I hadn’t realized that so much of my pain was connected to my mental and emotional health. Beth helped me to connect all of the dots so I could tap deeply into the root of the pain. She is thorough, empathetic, and held me accountable, which is what I needed to support healing and growth across all pillars of my health. I not only found a yoga therapist in Beth, but a true confidant and healer. I can’t recommend her highly enough, especially for people who are living life on the go and need practices that work on the days when you just can’t hold down your routine. —Katie

Beth is such a lovely teacher. Her energy is so calm and kind. It’s really easy to open up about how I am feeling and what's going on in my body. Some of my reasons for working with her are deeply personal and she was the first person (ever) I felt comfortable sharing with. She held the container, always judgment-free, and really opened the gates for deeper healing. She also put in the extra time outside of our sessions to do research and send supportive ideas + meditations my way, which was a lovely and unexpected treat. She truly has her heart in this work and is beautiful at what she does. I would highly recommend Beth. —Gina

I’ve been fortunate to work with Beth during her Yoga Mindfulness groups at Foundations, where she provides a holistic, integrative approach to substance abuse treatment. Beth connects easily with clients, and is able to facilitate powerful groups that encourage clients to focus on a “mind body spirit” approach to healing. Beth is thoughtful and caring when putting together group practice, and plans groups specific to themes that arise within the milieu. She has been an essential addition to the treatment team, and clients consistently speak highly of the groups that Beth facilitates. I would recommend her work to anyone seeking to integrate yoga into a wellness practice. She’s a joy to work with! —Russ

I came to Beth with chronic upper back pain and lower back stiffness that made it difficult to get out of bed some mornings. Beth assessed my condition in our first session to help me understand what was happening in my body. We did a number of sessions after that, where Beth instructed me on yoga exercises to help address tightness in my hips, thoracic spine and shoulders that were creating tension in my body. She would also leave me homework exercises to do in between sessions to continue my progress. I was nervous going on (as I was not a Yogi by any means), but Beth was kind, compassionate, and helped me learn quickly. I was feeling better almost immediately and can now say my lower back pain is almost non-existent and my upper back pain gets better every week. Our sessions even helped me discover a (newly found) love for Yoga, which I have been practicing at a studio outside of our sessions. Beth was wonderful to work with and I could not recommend her more. —Omar
