From a young age, Betsy felt called to serve. Eventually this call led her to serve two years in mission in rural Panama with her young family.
During her transition back to life in the states, she recalls someone asking her, “What about the voice of God in you?” She identifies that moment as the beginning of her journey to re-connect with the Spirit within. Some years later, she would enroll in a spiritual mentoring program and eventually seek training in spiritual direction.
She is passionate about spiritual growth, transformation, and inner healing, and is particularly interested in the Body-Mind-Spirit connection. She desires for everyone to be in loving relationship with God, self and others.
Other areas of interest include yoga, biking, hiking, creative writing and songwriting.
Betsy is a wife, mother and grandmother. She lives in the Milwaukee area with her husband.
