What People Are Saying About Dr Beth
“Dr Beth 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.

Everyone will leave a Dr Beth workshop empowered with a new appreciation of themselves and their capabilities, as well as those of their family members.
“What IS it about Dr Beth 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.”
“As a colleague, Beth holds the possibility of greatness for herself and others like no one else I know. She is truly an inspiration!”
“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.”
“Dr Beth 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! Dr Beth 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. “
