Get to Know Rebecca  

     How would you describe the modality that would be your main service to  others?

I offer a somatic (body-based) style of gentle yoga and mindfulness designed to help high-achieving women learn how to rest — both physically and mentally. My sessions combine slow, intentional movement with breathwork, grounding, and nervous-system regulation, drawing from my background in communication, anxiety research, and energy awareness.

Rather than focusing on flexibility or performance, this approach helps clients release the tension that comes from constantly doing and thinking. Each session becomes a space to reconnect with calm, presence, and self-compassion — a chance to experience ease without guilt.

     When did you first feel the desire to share this with people?

I found these practices during a period of deep burnout — a time when I felt completely disconnected from myself, exhausted by always needing to be “on,” and unsure how to slow down without falling apart. Through gentle yoga, mindfulness, and energy work, I began to process emotions I’d been holding for years. My body softened, my mind quieted, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like myself again.

That experience shifted everything. It showed me that calm isn’t something we earn by working harder — it’s something we can return to when we finally allow ourselves to pause. From that point on, I knew I wanted to help others, especially women like me who constantly feel pushed to achieve more and struggle with rest. I want to help them find that same sense of relief and wholeness in their own lives.

     Who would you consider to be your greatest teachers?

Michelle Young, my yoga teacher trainer at My Vinyasa Practice was one of my first true teachers. She introduced me to the idea that connecting the body and mind isn’t optional — it’s essential for healing. That realization changed how I approached both my own well-being and how I support others.

I also consider my significant other, Jason, to be one of my greatest teachers. He has an incredible ability to stay calm no matter the situation — something I once misunderstood as indifference or lack of drive. Over time, I realized it was actually the mark of a balanced, regulated nervous system. His example continues to remind me that real strength often looks like stillness.

    What would you like to be doing in 5 years regarding your work?

In five years, I hope to continue reaching women who believe they don’t have time to rest — helping them learn that pausing isn’t weakness, it’s strategy. My goal is to make relaxation feel accessible, practical, and even efficient for those who thrive on structure and purpose. When women discover that slowing down actually increases their energy, creativity, and clarity, it changes everything about how they move through their lives.

I also envision expanding into teacher trainings and mentorship for other wellness professionals who want to integrate nervous system–based mindfulness and communication skills into their own work. Whether I’m helping clients directly or supporting others who carry this message forward, my focus will always be the same — helping people feel better in their minds, bodies, and lives.

       If you would be able to have a conversation with 3 people, living or not, who would that be and why?

First, I’d choose Hillary Clinton — the ultimate example of resilience. She continues to rise, no matter how many times life or circumstance tries to knock her down. I admire her ability to stay composed under pressure and to keep showing up, even when it’s difficult.

Next would be Maya Angelou, whose strength and softness coexisted so beautifully. Her words hold both wisdom and comfort, and she carried herself with a presence that made people feel seen. I imagine she’d remind me that grace and courage are never opposites.

Finally, I’d love to speak with Jim Carrey. It might sound unexpected, but he’s spent his career using humor to bring light and perspective into people’s lives. His ability to embody joy and depth at the same time has always inspired me — and reminded me not to take life, or myself, quite so seriously.
