Beth Larsen, writer and consultant for Instituto Xilonen has worked in nonprofit education and social justice causes for over 30 years.

Beth graduated from college with a Business Administration degree before spreading her wings, moving from Michigan to Colorado to pursue work in marketing and communications.  From there, she went to Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, where she was recruited as an actress for commercials and television.

After a successful career, Beth shifted her focus to educational nonprofits, to make a positive difference in the lives of low-income children.  Her marketing and communication skills and love of education were welcomed.  The Positive Thinking Foundation, Nancy Reagan Foundation, and Los Angeles Unified School District all benefitted from her unique skillset and heart for the underserved.

After 21 years in LA, Beth moved to Bend, Oregon, where she currently resides.  Here she spent 12 years with medical nonprofits, raising money and developing programs for cancer patients and immigrants before turning her 40-year love of holistic medicine and energy work into a new career.

Beth is a certified Shamanic Energy Practitioner, combining several types of modalities into her healing work with pets and people.  Beth brings her insightful nature and expertise with subtle energies to the IX Team.
