How is hand analysis different from palm reading?
There are similarities between the two. Hand analysis considers the entire hand from the lines on the palms, color and shape of the hand, sections of the fingers to the patterns on the finger tips. It all has significance and identifies the unique you. With this system, you'll discover your life purpose and the barriers in getting to your full potential. You'll be exposed to tools and techniques for taking your life into your own hands. Unlike most people's perception of palmistry, hand analysis is NOT predictive and is not fortune-telling.

How does this REALLY work? What's happening here?
Just like your doctor can read your tongue to help read the symptoms of your health, your hand analyst can decode various information in your hands to reveal characteristics, strengths and weaknesses in your life. Antidotes and suggestions for transforming weaknesses into strengths are explored and defined.

What can I expect to take away from a hand reading with you?
You'll receive a clear definition of your life path and life purpose. Also, the lesson themes of your life will be described to you. You'll walk away with more awareness and understanding about the significance of the 'good times' and the 'bad times' in your life. Tools for you to see these 'obstacles' as allies will be explained.

Are you going to tell me when I'm going to die?
No. This system does not practice fortune telling, predictive or psychic methods. There may be an appropriate and helpful place for these practices, but not here. I do not and cannot read timelines for events. I have not been trained to perform predictive readings.

Can the lines on the hand change over time?
Yes, everything in the hand can change except the fingerprint patterns. The lines can change by getting longer, shorter, curvier or straighter. New lines can appear and old ones may disappear.

This sounds like counseling. Is this counseling?
I read what I see in your hands based on the training I've received. I am not a licensed therapist nor have I practiced as a professional counselor. I am a certified hand analyst with the International Institute of Hand Analysis. I offer council related to what I read in your hands.

What do you say to skeptics?
An individual with an uninformed opinion may be living a less than fulfilling life. I invite questions from skeptics. If I don't have the answer, the skeptic directs me to find it. I want to explore every aspect of this science (and art).

How does your coaching practice tie into my hand analysis?
Coaching will carry you deeper into self discovery because we focus on your particular issues and lessons according to your hands. Your 'shadow' will be explored so that you can understand it to allow you to reduce or even eliminate your fear of that darkness. Life lessons are like the dirt or soil to the most beautiful and fragrant flower. Together we'll cultivate your soil to create an ultimate foundation for you to come into full bloom.

Why do you read hands?
I love facilitating personal transformation and this is an excellent tool for doing that. I have found this is an effective and reliable way to assist people to discover deeper truths. Plus, people ask me to read their hands because of the recommendations from their friends who have had readings. Just knowing your life purpose promotes positive development. Illustrating the life lessons and their value is supportive of the soul's growth.

How did you become interested in Hand Analysis?
I am a 'seeker' of knowledge…of understanding life. I had wanted to know my life purpose for a number of years. My friend, Meg inspired me. She said, "You have to have your hands read by Beth. She'll tell you your life purpose." Since my reading from Beth, I've studied like a wild woman and have read hundreds of hands.

Where did you learn to read hands?
I have completed formal training and am certified with the International Institute of Hand Analysis (IIHA) in Tiburon, California. Richard Unger, Founder and Director of the IIHA, has developed a unique system that decodes Life Purpose and Life Lessons from fingerprints. The International Institute of Hand Analysis was founded in 1985 by Richard Unger.

What is your life purpose?
My life purpose is to provide service as a pioneer. The pioneer is creative and innovative in all endeavors. S/he is a mentor and a coach for another on their life path. Service is about choosing to service others and self. I choose to service in an innovative and profoundly creative way.

What is your life lesson?
Let's say, I have my shadow too. Please ask me during a session and I'll share it with you and how it has launched me into a new level of awakening.
