About the Trainer: Bethany was born and raised in Peoria, IL and has spent both her professional and personal life loving her city and trying to improve the lives of those often overlooked. After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from Illinois State University in 2013, Bethany began her career in child welfare, specializing in private and international adoption as well as working with expectant parents. In 2016, Bethany completed extensive coursework through Texas Christian University and earned the title of (TBRI) Practitioner. In 2019, Bethany began to blend personal and professional strengths by becoming a licensed foster parent alongside her wonderfully supportive husband, Caleb. Bethany left the professional world of child welfare and is working as a Social Worker in the medical field with adults that have social barriers to accessing medical care. Bethany and her husband reside in Dunlap, Illinois along with their two children. Her two wild and precious kids have taught Bethany more about resilience, joy, and overcoming than any book, degree, or training ever could.
