Betty is impassioned about guiding people in their personal evolution to sustained change and uses multiple modalities to create lasting results. The key benefits include: successfully solving personal issues, activating the ability to heal, finding greater happiness, enhancing creativity, and increasing productivity and longevity.

After reading "Cultural Creatives" by Paul Ray and Sherry Anderson, Betty realized she was a cultural creative and had been one her whole adult life. For being at the fore front of women going into business and with what she contributed to the community she was listed in Who’s Who of American , Who’s Who of the West and Who’s Who and she continues to be listed year after year.

In the late 1980’s she was among the first to be a Personal Life Coach which is now exploding as a number one nationwide profession. In the 1990’s she developed and gave Personal Money Management Seminars that have now become a major seminar subject.

In the early 1990’s she wrote her first book called Secrets of Living Life Abundantly. In a private reading with the Buddha Consciousness channeled by Diane Chapin it was suggested Betty write about what she had learned in how beliefs impact our life. Although Betty had never desired to be an author she took the suggestion seriously and began to work through her resistance to writing by getting up at 4 am on a regular basis and writing. After the editing process, her first book had been written and it would be followed by articles for alternative papers. In one of the last readings done by Diane, it was suggested that Betty’s work be included in this web site. She was most honored to be included.

Secrets of Living Life Abundantly!Secrets of Living Life Abundantly focuses on beliefs we hold in the subconscious mind around money, plus, along with the Addendum (Financial Planning) Worksheets, it instructs how to develop money management skills. The beliefs we hold in addition to money management skills determines the amount of money we have in our life and how we spend it. This manual was used by Betty as source material for her Personal Money Management Seminars and is available on this web site.

Her energies are currently focused on writing and for the past three years she has been writing The Shadow of Idealism In Being A Good Person. Betty had been raised to be a good girl and a good woman and to the best of her ability she had sought to live the code of a Good Woman. However, as a young married woman with three children she was so miserable that one day she stood at a dinette window and cried out to God from the bottom of her heart for change, regardless of how much it cost her. Change did come—in ways her wildest imaginations would never have come up with. A synopsis of her story will be a part of the Thank Good I/Inspired Authors Series whose first book will be released in 2007.
