About Bethany Smith ​

​​​​

I’m Bethany Smith, a certified Holistic Health Consultant dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their vitality, happiness, and inner wisdom.

​

I didn’t grow up in a world where health was simple, understood, or supported.
Like many, I thought I was doing "okay" — until my body, mind, and spirit made it impossible to keep ignoring the truth.

At just 19 years old, my body broke down in ways I couldn't have imagined.

I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare and frightening neurological disorder where the body's immune system attacks its own nerves.

 

Almost overnight, I lost the ability to walk, function, and care for myself.

I was fortunate — plasma exchange therapy (plasmapheresis) saved my life.
Through this procedure, harmful antibodies were filtered from my blood, allowing my nerves to slowly begin healing. 
It was a miracle intervention at a critical time.

But while the emergency treatment helped stop the immediate attack, it did nothing to address the deeper healing my body desperately needed.

There was no follow-up guidance, no nutritional education, no support for rebuilding my body or restoring my strength.
I was discharged into survival mode — carrying invisible trauma, chronic inflammation, weakness, and emotional wounds that would follow me for years.

​

Years later, after ongoing pain, fatigue, and unexplained symptoms, I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) —
a connective tissue disorder that affects the body's collagen, making joints unstable, healing slow, and pain a daily companion.

​

Living With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

 

What EDS looked like for me:

• Constant joint dislocations and subluxations

• Chronic, widespread pain that stole my energy.

• Mental overwhelm that stole my creativity and rational thinking. 

• Digestive struggles and nutrient absorption issues.

• Debilitating fatigue no amount of rest could cure.

• Feeling "trapped" in a body that wouldn’t cooperate.

 

I was told, again, that I would have to “live with it.”
But deep inside, I knew survival was not enough.
I believed there had to be another way.

"You are not broken. You are becoming."
​

Turning Point: Choosing to Heal Anyway

In 2022, my true healing journey began — triggered by what I can only describe as a spiritual re-connection during a guided meditation.

For the first time, I listened — truly listened — to my body, my intuition, and the divine guidance that had always been quietly speaking.

I changed everything:

• How I ate

• How I moved

• How I thought

• How I lived

I stopped waiting for permission.
I stopped settling for symptom management.
I started reclaiming my life.
 

 What Changed:

• I lost 60 pounds naturally, without harsh restriction.

• I regained strength and energy I hadn't felt since my teens.

• I healed emotional wounds that had held me back for years.

• I rediscovered joy, freedom, and a purpose that had been waiting all along.

​

My Mission: From Surviving to Thriving

Healing isn’t a destination you reach and forget.
It’s a relationship — a living, breathing partnership with yourself.
It’s about learning how to listen, trust, nourish, and grow again — one conscious step at a time.

Today, as a Holistic Health Consultant, I guide others through their own healing journeys —
not from a place of perfection, but from a place of lived experience, deep compassion, and strategic, personalized support.
