Betz McKeown, HTP, INHC, CTCM, OM, has been a practitioner of the healing and intuitive arts for over 40 years. Her energy and vibrational healing sessions draw upon her training and experience in Reiki, Healing Touch, Esoteric Healing, Polarity Therapy, and other energy modalities. Her signature technique, Integrated Coherent Resonance Method (ICRM), is inspired by each of these therapies as well as nervous system integration and somatic awareness. Betz’ intuitive readings, using oracle cards as her focus point, are as much prescriptive as predictive, providing her client with wisdom, guidance, potential outcomes, and inspired action. Her Holy Oil Anointings are a sacred art and ancient practice of applying oils that align body, mind, and spirit with divine presence, inviting healing, awakening, and transformation. Her sacred oils are alchemical creations infused with the essence of sacred plants, gemstones, and intention, blended in sacred space and infused with holy intentions. Betz is also an ordained ceremonialist, working with her clients to create individualized, unique rituals for rites of passage and special occasions.
