ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Bethany Kovo.
Coach, space holder, writer, and creator of The Empowered Self Method.
I help women stop outsourcing their worth, reconnect with their bodies, regulate their energy, and live in alignment.
My background? I have a degree in Nutritional Sciences with a focus in Dietetics and a minor in Women’s Studies from UConn. I’ve spent over a decade in the wellness field—working in nutrition, fitness, mindfulness, personal development, and women’s healing. I’m also a certified coach, medical intuitive, and group facilitator.
But more importantly? I’ve lived this work.
I invented the Square Plate Method before blood sugar regulation became a TikTok trend—back when no one outside the diabetes world was talking about it. I’ve eaten hummus before it was cool (and enough oatmeal as a kid to last a lifetime). I survived an all-girls Catholic high school, college party culture, burnout, breakups, business pivots, and trying to “heal myself perfect.”
I’ve read the books, done the trainings, and still found myself feeling like I wasn’t enough. Until I stopped trying to fix myself—and started trusting myself instead.
That’s when everything shifted.
That’s when The Empowered Self Method was born.
It’s not another 5-step plan or quick fix.
It’s a layered, embodied, 12-step journey to come home to yourself.
Whether you’re craving community, clarity, or a deeper connection to your body and intuition—there’s a place for you here. My work is here to meet you where you are and walk with you to where you're meant to be.
Thank you for being here.
You're doing better than you think.
xo,
Bethany
“How can I describe a woman that has helped me save my life? It is hard to describe how I came to lose 80 pounds once I met Bethany and how much better my life is as a result. Bethany is full of ideas and optimism. I never was hopeless to her. Thanks to her, I started to learn a new relationship to food.”

“Before I came to Bethany, I had trouble figuring out how to balance my life so I wasn’t depriving myself of things I enjoyed. I wanted to lose weight but was really stuck. I have the tools to have foods I enjoy, while also remaining healthy and moving toward my weight loss goals.

“My life is changed. I have so many tools and I now understand how important it is to take care of myself no matter WHAT. I now understand what my body needs to have energy and feel satisfied. I set boundaries and stick to them, I have and use coping strategies at a job that causes me high levels of stress.”
