"Rebecca has been an incredible help to me at a point in my life when I am going through a major transition. Through art, creativity and spirituality as well as a solid psychological approach that helped me reimagine my life in a very difficult time. I have already recommended her to several friends." E.L. - Guatemala

Coaching is a living journey in co-exploring the landscape into self-leadership. Like a flowing river, life moves continually along, but disruption, crises, trauma, and loss presents resistance to moving forward. Dear one, you are a creative soul equipped with an inspirational Source of courage, the agent of your own change. Central to my contemplative, psychotherapeutic process is to provide a safe space for clients to discover this innate Compassionate Presence as we work together to uncover and reframe perceptions through engagement with our emotional intelligence and felt sense. Through this embodied process of self-inquiry, what I call Life Excavation, we feel into the light and shadow, the trauma, shame and guilt of our lived experiences for the purpose of shifting, releasing, and integrating parts that no longer serve us, nor our communities or greater collective. As we learn to reconnect with our ground of being we acknowledge the truth of reality and the unresolved sense of stuckness that zaps our vital lifeforce of inner joy, health, and wellbeing. Challenges need not be perceived as fixed identities or story, but are signals to awaken and walk through the resistance and darkness. One step at a time, through tracking the felt sense, deep listening, co-resonating and regulating, we build a supportive and nurturing container; a capacity to feel the full spectrum of emotion without the fear of being flooded or overwhelmed. The client’s intuitive knowing, safety and pace is honored, and leads the exploratory learning process.

“Rebecca has been my life coach, meditation advisor, and somatic therapist for over four years. She has opened up my life to self exploration, to mindfulness, the practice of mediation, to self awareness, to self worth and to a field of endless possibilities. With her gentle and compassionate guidance, she helped me pave a path of introduction to my true self. My early life led me to a paradigm of unhealthy thinking. With Rebecca’s guidance, i have begun the beautiful path of rewiring mental and emotional habits which no longer serve me. Rebecca is a very special coach and counselor. She has been my agent of change. I am forever blessed by her wisdom, her expertise and her mentorship to a life well lived” P.S. Marblehead MA, USA

MindBody Therapy/Somatic Coaching: We recognize that the body, or the soma, houses an internal wisdom to protect, heal, and regulate our needs for safety and survival. Most of this occurs beneath the threshold of awareness, where our bodies “keep score” of all our lived experiences since birth and beyond.

As social creatures we are born interdependent upon others for our physical survival and psychological well being. We have needs to feel safe in our bodies, to be connected to the world, and to have our feelings and talents profoundly seen, heard, and attuned to. Yet, over one’s lifetime “learned strategies” develop that serve as protection from experiencing pain and/or overwhelm. Early trauma such as abuse, or developmental trauma such as an absence of emotional attunement by primary caretakers produce imprints and survival patterns (samskaras) often resulting in the breakdown of secure attachment systems. Quite unconsciously we simply learn to close off, shut down, check out, or disregard the emotional realities of life. Instead we live in our analytical heads, detached from our hearts and bodies. Sometimes we compensate through over work or leadership in civic or religious service as praiseworthy and acceptable ways to stay in control and to escape the dark within our own psyche. These deep patterns, often perpetuated and reflected in the wider culture are held in our neurophysiology remain unconscious and undetected until a crisis such as a separation, addiction, depression, or difficulty relating in authentic ways begin to emerge. In order to stop the cycle of suffering and to grow, a wise medicine invites us instead to courageously go inward, beyond the mind of belief systems, to directly witness and be with its storied source and origins.
