About me

Do you feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from yourself, or stressed  and unable to connect to your heart?  

I believe we are capable of living in our wholeness with access to courage, compassion, joy, connection to our bodies and curiosity. 

I approach coaching as a doula or midwife might approach birth, deeply listening, observing the signposts of what is appearing, gently offering guidance with an inherent trust in the process that is unfolding.  

This is Deep Coaching. What emerges in this labor of love is you in your deepest self, set free to speak and act and live from your authentic roots. 

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on  evidence based treatment that may provide relief from a variety of symptoms including headaches, neck pain and side effects of cancer treatment among many others.

CST uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity.

 CST is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels.

CST is thought to improve efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. The therapy can be used successfully with children and adults.

Rebecca has over 15 years of  experience effectively treating children while supporting the whole family. 

Rebecca has also worked with adults to define and successfully address a wide range of communication challenges.  

Children and adults who have worked with Rebecca include people who:

-Are seeking gender-affirming voice modification 

-Want their voice to most optimally reflect their identity for public speaking or in the workplace

 - Experience childhood apraxia of speech or dysarthria

I have a deep passion for whole food plant based living. I gently, respectfully support clients in their transitions into a plant based way of eating, at their own pace.

Rebecca is a skilled and gifted coach. She held space for me beautifully and guided me through our sessions with grace, ease and from the heart’s intelligence. Her very presence is healing, her soothing voice, gentle expression and deep compassion. Rebecca was very attuned to my pain and cultivated a safe space for me to share my story and move through it, to deeper awareness, integration and healing. What emerged for me in our session was a great release of anxiety and self-imposed constrictions, into complete peace and spaciousness, trust in myself and absolute clarity in my next steps. Thank you Rebecca. I would recommend Rebecca as a coach to everyone!

-Lorna

Working with Rebecca is an honor and a joy. She brings her whole self, a lifetime of knowledge and creates a nurturing environment that promotes discovery and healing. During our sessions I was able to quiet some very deep fears and connect with a deep inner power that enabled me to take action in areas of my life where I had previously been unable to move forward. I wholeheartedly recommend giving yourself the gift of working with the unique healer and coach that is Rebecca.

-Nellie

Rebecca is a truly brilliant speech therapist. I went to her for gender affirming voice therapy as I was transitioning. She was able to help me understand and practice how to use my voice in a way that matched my gender. She was also amazingly supportive and able to help me reframe my anxiety at getting it "right" which was actually a  barrier for being in my body enough to use my voice effectively. After three months, I feel like a different person and am so excited to present myself in the world in a way that matches who I really am. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for support with their voice!

-Jenny

Working with Rebecca over the last year has been wonderful for our whole family. Her passion and caring provide warmth and excitement for the work and the way that she works honors the interconnectedness of the individual and the family relationships. She supports and lifts up not only our child in his speech development but the whole family too. Using her curiosity, her ability to truly see the people in front of her, and her excellent clinical knowledge of her specialty she includes us as part of Liam's team and works with us to be the best team we can be. She has worked with us to weave together everyday practices and ways of seeing and listening that support Liam's speech development but have also supported our relationships to each other and deepened our sense of how we want to parent. We have so much gratitude for the work she does and could not recommend her highly enough!

Our Voices are Powerful Messengers and Storytellers

Did you know that the quality of the human voice tells the tale of what the body and mind is holding, consciously or unconsciously? The voice is an instrument that can be used by the deep coach to create and hold a warm, allowing and inviting space. Your client's voice can give you cues as to what is going on in their mind and body. This learning session will support you as a deep coach to engage with:

1. How do we as coaches sense into and attend to our own voices?
2. How do we as coaches sense into our clients' voices for clues as to what may be present?
3. The opportunity for questions, answers and exploration: co-sensing into the power of the voice
