Success Stories/Rave Reviews

“There is no topic that I find more important or needed than Compassionate Parenting! As a guest on The Montel Williams Show, I discussed the importance of Compassionate Communication (Non-Violent Communication SM) in preventing domestic violence, which I believe to be the most crucial breakdown in parenting today.  Thank you for all that you do to generate peace!”

“Learn from the BEST – Dr Beth has Empowered men and women for over 20 years to step into their greatness with confidence and ease. America’s Teenologist is bringing the fun back. Life is not a balancing act, where you get stuck juggling all the balls hoping not to drop any. Balance comes when each ball has a joyful bounce and you get to win…thank you Dr.Beth for teaching us that if it ain’t fun it ain’t getting done and the 15 minute fun breaks. …truly you have blessed my life beyond belief. “.

Michelle Finnegan-Nixon

“My increased self-esteem has resulted in more fun with more people and a dramatic increase in my ability to do business successfully and to learn new business skills without the defensiveness caused by my low self-esteem in the past. If you are a teen experiencing home as hell and counting the days until your 18th birthday, let your parents know you want to talk to Dr. Beth, so life can be easier and more fun for you. If you are a parent of a teen experiencing your home as a war zone, and you are curious about finding a therapist your child will love going to… I recommend that you call Dr. Beth immediately! She is brilliant at rapidly bringing families back into collaborative communication.”

“I’m absolutely blown away at the speed, power and clarity Dr. Beth has brought to my life and my business! Before working with Dr. Beth, I would never have thought that these kinds of results were possible this fast! Diving in head first has been one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. It is worth many times over the investment I made in myself, my business, my family, and my personal life. The return on my investment is already pouring in from multiple directions!”

“Dr Beth has an innate ability to take a problem that’s filled with confusion, hurt, and even shame, and make me see it from a completely new perspective I would never have considered. I have seen her do this over and over with me and several other parents. My daughter and I are so grateful to have learned this unique way of facing our issues! Problems and miscommunications happen every day, but when it happens with your own child, it raises every red flag there ever was. For me, the issues I’ve had with my daughter were times filled with confusion and pain, and feelings of shame invariably came into play. Dr Beth’s unique approach instantly disarmed me and allowed me to see myself with love and compassion for the first time. By doing that, I saw my daughter through a new set of eyes, and as I changed, I saw the changes in her! Dr Beth’s work goes beyond any other parenting course I have seen or experienced. My daughter and I are so grateful to have found this tremendous resource.”

“Dr. Beth is kind, understanding, empathetic, positive, confident, easy to speak with, and has a great sense of humor. She helped to identify issues not related to postpartum that were affecting my everyday life and provided ways to solve them.”

Own Your Story, Uplift Your Life has been such a blessing to me. It has helped me to successfully navigate a challenging situation with my young adult son. Instead of turning into a screaming crazy person, I was able to see that his behavior was communicating frustration. I was able to calmly set boundaries and still be a caring and nurturing parent. And, in a matter of weeks, my son is more upbeat and positive than I have seen him in over a year. In addition, the program has helped me to reconnect and appreciate my husband at a whole new level. Because of the way Dr Beth facilitates the program, each person can work on her own challenge, whether it’s a challenge with a situation, a person or within herself.

“Dr. Beth’s energy and enthusiasm is contagious! Listening to her sing and seeing her connect with children makes you realize she has the potential to really make a difference in relationships between parents and children. Just what this weary old world needs right now!”

Carolyn Warren

Mother of two

“Dr. Beth’s songs are not only fun to sing, they teach life lessons. Life is about choices and Dr. Beth’s songs teach that concept. Dr. Beth’s songs have lessons for parents and children as well. When you are feeling bad about yourself, just sing Dr. Beth’s ‘One Kid Band.’”

Nelda Hart

Certified Reality Therapist

“These recordings provide a pleasant and ideal atmosphere encouraging developmental opportunities for interactions between the parent/caregiver and child. Both the lyrics and music foster healthy relationships while enhancing language and mental development in a natural environment. I highly recommend it as an important resource for parents, early childhood programs and day care providers.”

Carol Ann Gardner

Child Development Instructor, Butte/Yuba Colleges

“Dr. Beth has created a marvelous tool to help parents and children acknowledge something experts have known for some time – you are valuable just because you are. While I may be upset with something you have done, I love you with all my heart because you are the most precious person I know. Quite a message and Beth delivers it with warmth, kindness, gentle prodding and song.”

Susan Siegel

“Excellent! Dr. Beth gives solid advice regarding parenting. She taught me how to understand what I feel therefore how to react to different situations. She helps you get to the root of the problem – no matter how painful – which makes the healing take place.” “Life changing! I learned tools that helped me, that ended up helping my children. Dr. Beth taught me when you don’t take care of yourself and make sure that your own cup is full, everyone else in the family suffers. I thought my child’s behavior was all his fault and his personality, when in reality, he was just begging for some love and compassion.” “Dr. Beth helps you grow up and take care of yourself first. I am in control of my life, and I now know how to nurture myself. If you really want to be in charge of your life, love yourself, and find your personal power, Dr. Beth is the woman to work with.“

What People Are Saying About DrBeth

“DrBeth offers a unique and insightful perspective on the angst of being a teenager as well as the confusing and sometimes frustrating role of being a teen’s parent. She enthusiastically and clearly reframes the maelstrom that sometimes results from ongoing confrontation and gives the information and skills needed to move on constructively, respectfully, in mutual support and awareness. Everyone will leave a DrBeth workshop empowered with a new appreciation of themselves and their capabilities, as well as those of their family members.

Valarie Burgess

Sister-to-Sister Summit Co-Chair, American Association of University Women, Orinda-Moraga-Lafayette branch

“What IS it about DrBeth that’s so engaging? Is it the infectious laugh, the feeling that the wonder-filled child is so very close to the surface? Maybe it’s the vision of love and compassion for all parents and all children; this vision that she lives and breathes, balanced with rock-solid professional credentials and a deeply committed personal practice of self-growth and authenticity.”

Jasmine Samrad

“As a colleague, Beth holds the possibility of greatness for herself and others like no one else I know. She is truly an inspiration!”

John Kinyon

Trainer, Center for Nonviolent Communication

“I was amazed how quickly she could sense issues and challenges. I felt very safe and held. I gained clarity, increased self-confidence, as well as an alternative perspective of life. Her 10 Keys program is phenomenal!”

Ilana Schwartz

AZ, Center for Nonviolent Communication

“Hi DrBeth- I just wanted to say thank you for all your help with my family. Dave has been going to AA meetings, pretty much every day since our last conference call with you. He’s leading the whole thing, we were back East for Christmas and in a different city almost every day. He looked up where the nearest meetings were and made arrangements to get there. He’s been reading AA books and telling us about his experiences at the meetings. He went out with a group of his friends and shared with them his decision to stop drinking. He called my dad yesterday and said he’s been 14 days sober and is feeling amazing!

I’m being more authentic with him and not trying to be so perfect. We’ve been talking more and I’m really enjoying our new connection.

I have tears in my eyes right now as I think about how much you’ve helped us. I feel so much gratitude, thank you SO much!

p.s. hope you had a great holiday!”

Shannon Law

“I was greatly moved with you sharing your vitality, joy and wisdom. You come straight from the heart with what my inner teen has been waiting and wanting to experience all my life. Your sharing opened doors for me to be able to speak my voice that has been silent for a very long time. I am truly grateful. You are helping me have my “no” so that I can trust myself to speak my truth in every situation in my life including my relationships with friends and companions. And I know it will bring forth my gifts in sharing my creative expressions so that I can reach more people myself and step into my own personal sharing where I have been holding myself back. And now I can step out of the shadows of my life to show myself and others who I really am. Thank you for awakening the power with in me.”

Aome St. Laurence

Licensed Psychotherapist

“DrBeth taught me how to be compassionate with my toughest inner critic, how to stop judging my emotions giving myself permission to feel them without it “meaning” something bad or wrong about me. Since I’ve applied her 10 Keys in my life, I have been able to connect with EVERYONE in my life so much more. I’m not as emotionally triggered by what those closest to me feel or say.

I can understand my daughter and her emotions more and give her permission to feel, which in turn has allowed her to express her feelings to me so authentically! DrBeth helped me make sense of all the feelings and thoughts I had that felt so crazy inside. She taught me how to get to know the emotional children within me and how to take care of me and ultimately love me. She gave me the best relationship I have ever had – the relationship and love of myself. “

“Beth connects with parents in ways that help them feel good about themselves and their children. Her 10 Keys program changes how parents respond to ‘parent education.’ She creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that encourages participation and includes important topics such as setting limits with children, creating boundaries in families and being a ‘blended family’. She teaches that parenting starts with their ability to have empathy for themselves and for their child’s experience. Beth is a truly gifted therapist and teacher.”

Dr Z

Proud mom Dr. Z with her awesome son "D"

I have been intentionally keeping my nose out of your dealings with Beth. Your decision, both sides mean too much to me to interfere so I am sitting neutral…. with that said she was just here and I wanted to tell you a bit about it.

Beth has always listened and given great guidance when needed, this was the first time we had continuous, focus time to solve the world’s problems and mine/ours…

We/I have an amazing life: love, friends, family, home, biz, service, adventures, travel, intellectual pursuits, ….. but also have my share of struggles. And those struggles were looping and keeping me (us) stuck and not getting to move into all that I have been dreaming, wanting, enjoying,…

Beth worked with us individually and then together. We worked on our communications, our day to day existence, our happiness, our businesses,…

Honestly, I feel like a new person! I have clarity, I am happy, my dreams are emerging, I am (fill in the blank with the good stuff) ____________

And since she has left a few repeat patterns had reappeared to test us (as they do) but they did not take hold the same way 1. The mindset was different 2. We had tools to use AND 3. We have Beth on-call/speed dial to hold us accountable to all our new agreements…

I have done my fair share of personal development. Always leaving with a plan and super jazzed. Then I get back to life… Beth brings the chance to make it stick and get to the root, which is always what blows it up. A personal development coach that understands business and the licensed therapist that knits all the relationship/personal stuff together that is focused on you is very unique and I think one of the few ways that have the impact I know I am looking for AND need.

Honestly, I am trying to work out how to get her here in person more often and pretty much pay her a salary that is the type of impact she has had on me/us. She worked with us individually, together, our teams, our projects, our future, and our lives. Next focused time will be on our ‘life book – future creations’, we needed to do the other first and now we are ready!

Everyone will leave a DrBeth workshop empowered with a new appreciation of themselves and their capabilities, as well as those of their family members.”

“DrBeth can take the misery out of living with teenagers from both the parent and teenagers perspectives. She just “gets” teens and is very good at explaining their need to argue and explode and dissent and want the opposite of anything you suggest or want, because that’s what they are supposed to be doing at this age.”

“The Most impactful direction that DrBeth has given me when dealing with my 17 year old Son, was to encourage me to ask him the question, and allow him to discover his own answers. It empowered him to create his life choices and it allowed both of us the confidence to know that he can find his own solutions.”

“I wanted to tame my daughter’s defiance without having her lose her wonderful spirit. We fought horribly about teenager issues, some important, some really inconsequential, that blew up into real battles. DrBeth helped us defuse the situation and see how much we love each other despite the fact that we are going to have to deal with lots of issues and how each of us can see the issues without adding emotion and anger.”

“She gave my son the insight to see the true consequences of his actions, which gave him tools to make good decisions for himself, not just to please or displease us.”

“She gave us the tools to get along better with our children by showing us how not to react to their emotional and hormonal outbursts and pointing out what we did that set them off. She gave similar tools to our son and daughter which will help them in their relationships, not only with us but with others as well.”

“DrBeth is great with teenagers. This is her gift. She is Magical.”
