About Bethann
As a compassionate guide and educator, I dedicate myself to illuminating the path for others through life's most profound transitions. Witnessing my mother's difficult passing, which starkly illustrated the antithesis of dying well and consciously, ignited my mission to transform how we approach end-of-life experiences.
My approach is rooted in a rich tapestry of experiences. Living in Hawaii close to an active volcano and swimming with whales and dolphins taught me invaluable lessons about life's natural rhythms and the power of connection. As a traveler, I've immersed myself in diverse cultures, honing a sensitivity that allows me to relate to people from all walks of life.
My background as a dancer and artist has instilled in me a profound appreciation for the beauty of human expression. These creative pursuits, combined with my love for nature exploration, have shaped my holistic view of life and death as interconnected parts of a greater journey.
At the heart of my work is a belief in the transformative power of love. I've come to understand that love is the gentle force that guides us through life's transitions, including its final moments. This perspective, coupled with my intuition and experience, informs my approach to end-of-life coaching, where I strive to bring grace and dignity to those I serve in the sacred death process.
If you're seeking guidance in navigating end-of-life decisions or wish to explore a more mindful approach to living, I'm here to support you. My goal is to help you embrace the full spectrum of human experience, fostering a deeper appreciation for life through a thoughtful exploration of death. Together, we can honor life's journey and approach its end with grace, dignity, and peace.*

Bethann’s guidance helped me navigate through the monumental experience of saying goodbye to my father.
The week he died I had phone conversations with Bethann that helped ground and prepare me to be fully present with the hospice experience. Her wisdom about the end of life transition was like a healing balm that soothed my soul. I have so much gratitude and love to Bethann for the blessing of her consultation on this journey.
