Betsy’s counseling and coaching work is based on the innovative, co-creative healing modality known as the Sacred Self-Healing Method. This top-down healing method uses accessible tools such as the voice (with sound healing), the breath, and forgiveness practice to facilitate transformation.
Betsy’s counseling and coaching practice is experiential and provides straightforward self-healing tools that don’t require complex or costly resources.
Sessions typically include a check-in, a guided meditation, and/or time for healing work, which may involve chakra balancing, creative activities, breathwork, movement, ritual, sound healing, and EFT (tapping). The final part of each session is dedicated to reflection and goal-setting if desired.
Betsy’s counseling and coaching specialties are listed below:
Chronic illness support coaching
Chronic Illness Support Coaching is a health and wellness coaching service designed to help individuals navigate the physical, emotional, and lifestyle challenges of living with a chronic illness. It provides personalized guidance, education, and emotional support to improve well-being and quality of life.
A chronic illness support coach typically helps clients with:
- Symptom Management: Strategies for reducing pain, fatigue, and flare-ups.
- Nervous System Regulation: Techniques like breathwork, mindfulness, and brain retraining to help manage stress and autonomic dysfunction.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Guidance on sleep, movement, nutrition, and pacing to improve daily functioning.
- Emotional and Mindset Support: Coping tools for dealing with frustration, grief, and mental health challenges associated with chronic illness while setting healthy boundaries.
- Advocacy and Navigation: Assistance with medical appointments, self-advocacy, and understanding treatment options.
- Community and Accountability: Support in setting realistic goals and maintaining motivation.
Having a chronic illness is a job in itself. Betsy offers one-on-one coaching for chronic illness to help you understand your triggers, develop a rescue plan, and manage the everyday details of life that can be overwhelming.
Betsy understands chronic illness from the inside out, having Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Lyme Disease, nervous system dysregulation, SIBO, and mold toxicity. She writes about her journey with chronic illness here on her blog.
Nervous system retraining
All of Betsy’s coaching and counseling work is grounded in the need for nervous system retraining, and a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches to nervous system healing is ideal.
If you’re dealing with a chronic illness, a history of concussions, or feel held back by trauma, Betsy Leighton offers two powerful, complementary tools to guide your journey to peace and well-being: the Sacred Self-Healing Method and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP).
These combined approaches can help you heal from chronic illness, emotional and physical pain, and a feeling of separation from your source, ultimately leading to trauma recovery and peace through forgiveness.
Sacred Self-Healing Method: A top-down mind-retraining therapy focused on helping you come to terms with the circumstances of your life.
Safe and Sound Protocol: This is a bottom-up listening therapy designed to heal nervous system dysregulation, concussions, and trauma.
