Meet MaryBeth
For much of my life, caring for others came naturally. As a nurse, pastor, daughter, wife, and mom, I spent years supporting the people around me. Learning self-compassion hasn't changed my desire to care for others. It's changed how I cared for them.
Today, I offer courses, retreats, and contemplative practices that invite people to become kinder companions to themselves and, from that place, let compassion naturally ripple outward into their relationships, communities, and the world.
