Beth Sturdevant is a visionary and modern-day spiritual healer shaped by many worlds—cellist, mother, teacher, writer, healer, and energy medicine worker.
Her work is devoted to helping people reconnect with their inner truth through awareness, reflection, inner strength, and community, creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow.
Her life’s journey has carried her across continents, into sacred ceremonies, onto world stages, and deep into the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human spirit. Each chapter of her evolution has forged the fierce, compassionate, and grounded voice she shares today through her art, her teachings, and her writing.
Beth’s early story began with the cello—an instrument that became both her anchor and her doorway. As a professional musician, she has performed and collaborated with artists including Harry Connick Jr., The Eagles, Il Divo, Train, Hoobastank, and Barbra Streisand. The cello carried her from Broadway pits to international concert halls, and into ceremonies, celebrations, and intimate spaces where music became medicine. For Beth, sound and vibration are a living language of the heart—one that resonates through the body, beyond words, reconnecting people to themselves and to one another.
Her path transformed again through full-time single motherhood—a calling that demanded strength she did not yet know she possessed. Motherhood revealed the raw realities of resilience, devotion, sacrifice, and the warrior spirit required to protect and nurture what matters most. It became both her greatest teacher and her most humbling mirror, shaping her understanding of love, endurance, and rising again after profound trauma and loss.
For over a decade, Beth has immersed herself in the study and practice of shamanism, spiritual healing, and energy medicine work.
She has been welcomed into sweat lodges with Lakota warriors, mentored by Indigenous healers, and guided through initiations that have reshaped how she listens, sees, and walks in this world. Her healing work blends intuition, lived experience, and a deep understanding of the body, mind, and spirit connection—offering calm, steady support for those navigating change, transition, and self-discovery.
Her path continues to unfold as a devoted student of shamanism, rooted in reverence, curiosity, and deep listening. She approaches this work as an ancient, living practice—one that spans cultures and continents, and has long served as humanity’s earliest form of healing, connection, and understanding of what's seen and unseen.
Beth has studied with teachers from around the world, including Pete Bernard, Shenoah Taylor, Annette Høst, Christine Mark, and Lisa Sture. Alongside her extensive training in Spiritual Healing, Energy Medicine, and Core Shamanism, she is currently deepening into her ancestral roots in Scandinavia—walking the sacred path of the Völva, the Norse seeress, and the ancient practice of Seiðr: a form of trance-based wisdom work that weaves together spirit, fate, and the exploration of non-ordinary worlds.
Beth has led countless healing circles for women and mixed groups, with a focus on cultivating inner harmony, authentic connection, and emotional awareness. Her circles provide a supportive environment where individuals can reconnect with themselves, regulate their emotions, and develop a deeper sense of clarity and presence.
She also offers one-on-one healing sessions, holding space with compassion and integrity for those seeking deeper healing, insight, and inner harmony.
For the 5th consecutive summer this year, Beth will lead an adventure and empowerment retreat for women in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York. These immersive experiences weave together wilderness, adventure, and community, to awaken the courageous, resilient spirit that lives within every person. She has also designed and led empowerment workshops and classes for women and teenage girls, supporting them in reclaiming their voice, strength, and embodied knowing.
As a writer and storyteller, Beth shares her lived experiences and spiritual teachings through reflective blogs. Her writing is both a mirror and a threshold—offering stories, reflections, and teachings that illuminate what is often hidden, giving language to the unspoken, and reconnect readers to their own innate intuition and self-awareness. She believes storytelling is a form of medicine—one that carries wisdom across time, dissolves separation, and reminds us of the deeper truths we all carry within.
Beth Sturdevant’s life is a testament to transformation and the fire that refuses to be extinguished. She continues to walk the path of the warrior—one who meets life and adversity with integrity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to evolving the human spirit.
Through her writing, her connections, and her teachings, she invites others to rise, to remember, and to reclaim the power of their own stories—returning them to the truth of who they were always meant to be.
