ABOUT MINERVA

The Minerva Educational and Wellness Treatment Center, was founded in 1995 by Dr. Betty deMaye-Caruth and is dedicated to educating, practicing and promoting awareness of holistic healthcare options.

An Educational Center. We offer classes to anyone who is interested in learning alternative and complementary methods of healing. This also allows our students to affect change in their life, career and their physical and emotional wellness. This includes, but is not limited to, classes on Reiki, Aromatherapy, Healing Touch, Integrated Energy Therapy and Flower Essences. Over the past 15 years we have trained practitioners in these therapies and many have opened their own healing centers or gone into private practice, all have developed a new skill that they use for themselves, family and friends.

A Private Practice. Dr. Betty has an office and sees clients for treatments in many of the therapies that are taught here. It has been an honor for Dr. Betty to help people deal with the transitions that occur in this life. Some are dealing with cancer, chemotherapy, radiation, depression, the onset of a sudden illness, divorce or death of a loved one.

A Voice. Dr. Betty has dedicated her life to get the word out about alternative and complementary medicine. There are people in this world who are not aware that there are many avenues to health and the importance of treating not just the body, but the mind and spirit. She also introduces others to this path through her various speaking engagements, the Minerva Website, E-Newsletter and the many articles that Dr. Betty has written and published.

Minerva is more than just good health, it's all about you, your needs, your goals!

Minerva Educational and Wellness Treatment Center is dedicated to helping people learn how to take care of themselves and become a part of their healing. Located 2 miles outside of the town of Honesdale, PA, Minerva provides information and treatments in what was known as holistic medicine to the population of Wayne County. As the years have passed the name of holistic medicine has changed to complementary medicine and we now draw students and clients from many states. In our 15 years we have seen many people pass through our doors seeking a better life; many have become practitioners in the healing arts through our educational programs, others have found that changes in their day to day habits helped them to achieve and maintain wellness in their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

We offer classes on many therapies such as yoga, reiki (all levels), aromatherapy, flower essences, integrated energy therapy and the use of prayer and affirmations. Dr. Betty also has appointments for private clients. Private sessions may include many of the therapies mentioned previously and other techniques to deal with stress and life style changes. The client and practitioner set up goals and a treatment plan that is workable for both. Dr. Betty is available five days a week for appointments at Minerva as well as distance therapy sessions, Betty deMaye-Caruth RN, PhD, RM/T CHTP has been involved in this work for over 30 years in both private practice and hospital settings.
