Her passion in life is to help others achieve their “personal best” and live the healthiest, fullest lives possible. She has been called a change agent and a visionary by her clients and students.

Since 2015, LaBet has chosen to become a “home free” nomad. She is relentless about sharing the “how to” of living a freer (less encumbered by stuff) lifestyle that authentically flourishes in spite of and overcoming all ACE, PTSD, ADHD, DR, PHD, etc. labels beside our names. Survive or Thrive? It’s a choice, our choice! Choose today to thrive!
I will show you HOW! Join the WELL WOMEN THRIVE TRIBE today and allow me to be your guide. The only requirements for membership are Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness!

What is a Pilgrimage?
A pilgrimage is travel for a soulful, sacred purpose in which one practices the arts of attention and listening, of reading sacred texts, of meandering toward the center of every place, of renewing oneself daily, and of practicing gratitude and praise singing. My work is designed for those who intend to embark on a journey with a deep purpose but are unsure of how to prepare for it or endure it. I teach the skill of personally creating your own journey everywhere you go and the daily practice of slowing down, lingering, savoring and absorbing each stage of the journey. Buddha called it mindfulness and Ray Charles called it soulfulness!
LaBet’s Pilgrimage Story
I embarked on my first pilgrimage in 2005 when I left my family in Barcelona, Spain and bought a solo ticket to Pamplona to walk the first four days of the Camino de Santiago in order to sort through the confusion of menopause. Ten years later, in 2015 after a divorce and getting sober in 2009, I let go of my home and set out on the Via Francigena pilgrimage in Italy for five weeks with six fellow pilgrims.
We walked 354 miles and my life was forever changed once again! I returned to my teardrop camper and set out on a six week adventure to the west coast and Canada with my labrador retriever, Lila. Since then, I have been home free and never once lacked a place to lay my head at night. The generosity of friends and family and the grace of God has always provided.
I have since walked the Camino Primitivo in Spain and the St. Francis of Assisi pilgrimage in Italy to find that what they say is true, “first you walk the Camino and then the Camino walks you!”
