Bethanie is passionate about helping people grow through life’s transitions. She is a Certified Mindful Change Coach, specializing in Health and Wellness, and a Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF). Bethanie started her professional career as a high school teacher. She saw the wide variety of individual needs of her students and learned quickly that she wanted to be able to dedicate more time to helping students on a deeper level. After earning her Master’s of Education in School Counseling, she worked as a Career Development Coordinator (helping school counselors enhance career development practices), and then as a High School Counselor in Career and Technical Education. After several years as a school counselor, Bethanie fell in love with the practice of coaching, and became a Certified Mindful Change Coach. Bethanie and her husband (who is a therapist) own a coaching and counseling practice where they help people along the journey toward wellness.  Bethanie loves education and coaching, so being a part of the Guiding Mindful Change training team is a wonderful fit. 

Though she has many interests, Bethanie spends the majority of her free time either running or dancing. She lives in beautiful West Michigan with her husband and their two teenagers. As a family, they have had the fun goal of visiting all 50 states and have thoroughly enjoyed the experiences and beauty along the way.

Erica is a wife, mother of five, and a Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach specializing in mindfulness, bariatric weight loss, and energy healing. A Certified Mindful Change Coach and Level IV Reiki Master, Erica empowers clients to embrace self-love and achievable goals in their wellness journeys. Through her holistic approach, she emphasizes the importance of small, meaningful steps toward change, helping clients overcome the "all-or-nothing" mindset.

Drawing on her extensive background as an elementary literacy interventionist, special educator, and clinical mental health counselor, Erica supports clients in navigating life's challenges with resilience and purpose. Her personal experiences with transformative health changes and balancing a busy family life inform her compassionate coaching style. Erica is passionate about helping others prioritize self-care, rediscover joy, and align their lives with their deepest values.

She holds a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, and an M.Ed. from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. Erica practices in Plaistow, NH, where she offers energy healing, coaching, and workshops tailored to guide individuals toward sustainable wellness and fulfillment.
