Meet Beth Ann Townsend

Beth Townsend created Healing Traditions in the spirit of bridging the many teachings, traditions, and techniques she has encountered over a journey of more than 40 years. Today, her work is rooted in the teachings of Dr. Rosita Arvigo through the Abdominal Therapy Collective, Inc. and the Wisdom of Water, Plants and Prayers which is supported by her lifelong learning across cultures and practices.

Beth is an educator for the Abdominal Therapy Collective, Inc. Beth is one of a handful of people formally trained as an advanced instructor.  In addition to supporting her own clients, Beth now also teaches fellow practitioners who want to share these special, time-honored techniques with their clients.
