Years later, I became a nurse. When the pandemic hit, the systems meant to heal people started to break me down.
I was trained to care for others, but no one taught me how to care for myself.
This work—what I offer now—is my response. A reclamation. A revival. A return to what matters.
As a trauma survivor and trauma-informed facilitator, I guide with sensitivity, respect, and choice. That means invitational language, real options, and no pressure to force your body (or your heart) into anything it’s not ready for.
ABOUT
Hi, I’m Bethany—yoga teacher, writer, and space-holder for the messy middle of becoming.
If you’re anything like me, you didn’t exactly fit in growing up. You stood out. You spoke up. You felt things deeply—maybe too deeply for a world that wanted you quiet.
That sh*t hurts. So, like many sensitive kids, I found my own way through. I wrote. I drew. I documented heartbreak and high school power plays like a junior goth war correspondent with a glitter gel pen.

Sometimes we fall apart — we break down in quiet ways no one sees. Through yoga, meditation, and rest, we begin the slow return — not to who we were, but to who we’re becoming. Here, we honor both the shimmer and the shatter, the cracks laced with gold.
We’re whole not despite the breaks, but because of them.
No pressure. Just presence.💎 -
To inspire and inform through mindful practices and creative expression that support healing, agency, and self-restoration.
