Credentials for& Betsy Ingram

Betsy is a fun-loving soul who has had the honor of working with crystals and stones for years in many ways. Both as a stone and mineral researcher in her “day job”, and as a teacher of crystal metaphysics and Native Spirituality, and a practitioner of Energy Balancing sessions. She has been regularly teaching classes in Crystals and Stones in and around the Greater Lehigh Valley/Philadelphia area for nearly 10 years. Her initiation into this Path of Service was to have first studied and, later, worked with Brooke Medicine Eagle as her Assistant for her Native Spirituality Workshops offered in Montana. She considers this work and study in Native Spirituality to have been her primary step on a magical journey that has stretched across the country in finding her true Path of Service.

After spending time working for Brooke, Betsy started to focus more and more on the energy of Crystals and Stones. In an effort to fully understand the metaphysical and holistic power of Crystals and their effect on our energetic fields, she has sought out and taken the opportunity to study with crystal teachers such as Herb Stevenson, a Native Teacher and Crystal Experience Instructor, Vivien Schapera, author of “Everyday Magic”, Gene and Barbara Jackson, and has also attended several workshops given by Melody, world renowned crystal author of “Love is in the Earth”, Dawn Silver, author of “Jewels of the Lotus”, Ken Harsh, author of “Guide to Stones”, and Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsain, authors of “The Book of Stones”. Betsy has even authored her own booklet about the metaphysical properties of crystals and stones, as well as several published articles on both stones and general healing.

In addition to her scholastic study of the stones, Betsy classifies herself as an energy worker, holding certifications in Levels I and II of Melody’s Crystal Healing Method, Levels I, II and III in Crystal Surgery as developed by Vivien Schapera,, and Levels I, II, and III of the Integrated Energy Therapy ® method of Angelic energy work, as well as additional certifications in several alternate crystal healing modalities offered by Dawn Silver. She has been trained in the use of Vogel Crystals, as designed by Marcel Vogel, and she has also completed her Master/Teacher Certification in Usui Reiki.

Betsy is an Affiliate Member of TAOMCHI (The Association of Melody Crystal Healers and Instructors), and a registered member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals.

Betsy’s focus on her teaching and energy balancing style is to first and foremost, have fun. Laughter is a vital part of life, and she hopes all who come to her carry their Hearts lightly. She also works to empower her students and clients to make their own choices, encouraging them to follow their Heart in all matters of their Path. Her life, writing, classes and energy work circle around the Native belief of “Mitakuye Oyasin”, a Lakota phrase used to Honor “All My Relations”, be they Human, Four-Legged, Winged, Rooted or Stone. Her love of Service allows her to offer her energy work in a loving and compassionate manner. She uses a grounded, down-to-earth approach to address all situations, and invites all people to visit and work with her towards balance. She offers her Path of Service with boundless Gratitude to All That Is.
