Bethany Reid
Matushka Juliana (Bethany) Reid is a wife and mother whose life-long search for truth led her, along with her family, to the Orthodox Church well over a decade ago. She, her husband, Deacon Sean Reid, and their two teenage daughters attend St Maria of Paris Orthodox Mission in Hamilton, Ontario, where she serves on parish council. After homeschooling her daughters for many years, Bethany furthered her education through Adler Graduate Professional School in 2021 to add coach training to her previous education: BA (Sociology) from Gordon College (1992), and Bachelor of Social Work from McGill University (1995). She is trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), having at her disposal many tools and skills to help clients identify and pursue their values and to deal more effectively with any difficult thoughts and feelings that get in their way. Bethany has always had an interest in helping people successfully navigate through their lives and recently joined Deacon Sean as a coach and part-owner of Arrowhead Coaching and Facilitation Solutions. Bethany delights in coaching Orthodox women who seek to align their lives with their values, and frequently finds herself inspired by and impressed with the positive changes her clients embrace in their lives. As an Orthodox Christian, a clergy wife, and a person who has embraced motherhood and homeschooling as her vocation, she understands the context, the pressures, and the opportunities that such life circumstances enkindle. Her coaching helps clients navigate this complexity and find greater peace, joy and meaning in the midst of challenge and uncertainty. |
Testimonials
I reached out to Bethany to help me align my values with my daily life and also to help me find a sense of direction. As a stay-at-home mom and homeschooler, I was feeling a bit aimless. Not only did Bethany help me identify my values but she also helped me connect them to what I was already doing. She worked with me to identify areas where I could take concrete actions in line with my values.
Her weekly session preparation forms kept me on task for the next session and also held me accountable to take action. It was also important to me that Bethany is a practicing Christian. I felt comfortable sharing my faith life and spiritual journey with her. She was an incredible resource to me as a newly Orthodox Christian.
Thanks to working with Bethany, I have a much greater sense of purpose and know where my gaps are and what actions I need to take to fill them. I highly recommend Bethany as a coach. I truly enjoyed working with her.

When I started working with Bethany, I was struggling as a homeschooling mom of four young children. I was overwhelmed and conflicted about my homeschooling choices. We had three sessions, during which Bethany guided me through the process of looking at my parenting values and choices and identifying some of my roadblocks. I found Bethany to be an attentive listener and comforting presence, qualities that allowed for honest introspection.
The outcome of my time with Bethany is a better understanding of the actions I need to take to find the clarity I seek regarding my parenting. Before our sessions, I was more confused due to recycling my own thoughts and Bethany helped me expose the thoughts and look beyond them, at my own values and expectations. She was patient and attentive in guiding me through the process and I am grateful for the experience of working with her.

Coaching with Bethany was a pleasant and purposeful experience. Before working with her, I had struggled with many parts of my life and felt lost. One of the major problems I had was not knowing how to unfold the next chapter of my life in terms of career, parenting, and personal development. I felt trapped with so much fear that prevented me from moving forward.
Bethany is very professional and patient and has perspective and good listening skills. She helped me set small goals in every session and share my progress during the next session. This allowed me to direct my journey and have a clear future vision. It’s one step at a time, but I am happy and grateful for working with Bethany!
