Guiding people through life’s most challenging landscapes toward connection, healing, and transformation.

Betsy Winter

Somatic Practitioner | Grief & Trauma Specialist | Experiential Educator & Guide

For more than 25 years, I’ve walked alongside people through hard and unfamiliar terrain—from rock faces and wilderness to the deeper landscapes of loss, trauma, transition, and change.

I’m a coach, somatic practitioner, and guide.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: even in the midst of profound difficulty, there are ways to reconnect with yourself, access your own wisdom, and discover what healing and wholeness can look like for you.

Pregnancy and infant loss is a central area of my work.
I have spent a decade supporting hundreds of bereaved parents and families, designing and leading support programs, retreats, and educational experiences, and helping providers better understand and support those navigating loss. This work is nationally recognized.

My training is extensive and continually evolving.
I’ve trained in trauma and attachment, somatic healing, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, grief and bereavement, and other approaches that help us work with the whole person—not just the story we can tell about what happened.

And I know this terrain personally.
I have experienced profound loss. I have also spent years understanding and healing from my own complex trauma—moving from believing something was wrong with me to understanding what had happened to me, how it shaped me, and how I could begin to become something different.

I believe the body carries wisdom.
Our bodies hold our experiences, our protective patterns, our grief, our love, and sometimes the things we have not yet found words for. Through embodied work, we can begin to listen differently—to what hurts, what needs attention, what has been protecting us, and what is ready to change.

My role isn’t to tell you what your healing should look like.
It is to create a warm, compassionate space where you can reconnect with yourself, strengthen the resources you already carry, and begin to trust your own inner knowing. Understanding your story differently can change your relationship to it.

You don’t have to arrive knowing exactly what you need.
You might be deep in grief. You might be trying to understand why something still feels so hard. You might feel disconnected from yourself or your body. You might be navigating life after loss, a difficult transition, or a pattern you’re ready to change.

We can start wherever you are.
