In case you want to know some of the more typical stuff, too...
I find the natural world, including our phenomenal mind-body-spirit manifestation fascinating and beautiful. I love experiencing and exploring the intersection of neurology, biology, mind, and energetics.. at the edge of our evolving experience and awareness.
Instead of pursuing medicine, I switched to Peace Studies focusing on the Ethics of International Intervention, and Spanish Literature at the University of Notre Dame... always seeking to understand and connect with others, and explore the world while seeking how to help alleviate all the suffering.
On Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship for graduate school, I completed a diplomate in International Relations at el Instituto de Estudios Internacionales of La Universidad de Santiago, Chile.
Disenchanted with so much of this path and the state of things, I followed Joseph Campbell's advice to continue learning independently. After a brief sojourn in Washington, DC, I went into direct service work at Casa Juan Diego in Houston, Texas. There, I sought community and to bring my thoughts, actions, and compassion into alignment.
It was a very formative period, of profound connection, inner exploration, and action, such as creating a permaculture garden that continues to thrive 20 years later through the support of CJD founders, amazing volunteers, and community engagement.
Then came a focus on healing from burnout, now looking inward for peace. Massage therapy and health coaching, along with various modalities and a foundational awareness of energy became central to my explorations and work with people in private practice in AZ, FL and ME.
I continue to see clients in person, combining energy awareness and empowerment teachings, along with breathwork and massage. And have begun allowing more of my full expression, that includes sharing my intuitive gifts, creative self, and capacity to connect into the quantum through presence, art, and music.
It is my sincerest wish that we all discover our true selves, and find the joy in being our unique expression. May the journey continue!
Hello! I'm Becca.
Let's dive right into the deep end...
because isn't that where it's most meaningful & enjoyable?!
My path has been varied, with significant twists, turns, and seemingly new directions. For me, it's always made sense and felt unified and connected, even with the unexpected "left" turns that perhaps surprised me, yet felt completely congruent with my inner experience.
The common thread? Seeking to understand why at an existential level, while finding my way to fulfill my mission and seeming purpose in this lifetime... to live and relate in such a way to bring to light the universality of compassion and connection, alleviate suffering and conflict, and promote peace and understanding at all levels.
It's the means that has shifted over the years... looking first at the physical suffering and disparity of the world, the environment, and all forms of life... then seeking to promote peace, justice and overcome conflict through understanding the ethics of international intervention, policy, and the need for accountability.
After getting burnt-out and feeling rather disillusioned with the external world, while very aware of the conflict in my own life and within myself, I sought my own healing and inward journey. Landing in Tucson, AZ I wanted to work in an environment that supported me in this process, so worked in a health food store, and while applying to work part-time at a local yoga studio, ended up in their massage school.
This began a re-integration and healing journey that continues to this day. A reconnecting to my physical body, emotions, and processing and releasing so much that had been repressed, supressed, and disallowed since pre-infancy.
From outward focus, to journeying inward seeking peace and understanding, I now find myself in an integration process. All my prior experiences, and continued insights and knowings, learnings, energy awareness and intuitive development is finding a new expression.
Through energy art, quantum connection, and embodying more fully who I am, it's time to step up and support you and others in doing the same. For, isn't that ultimately what it's all about for all of us?
Perhaps at a different pace, in different ways, and varied expression, we all make up the kaleidoscopic multidimensional reality together... and we are all coming into focus and higher expression, and full embodiment of our unique expression. Exciting times!!!
About my experiential journey, because you may be able to relate in some way, or to some degree...
I've been on a quest most of my life to discover my purpose and live it fully.
It’s been a bit complicated, and I’ve come to realize that so much of what I thought was coming from within me and my independent process, actually has not been to the extent I thought.
I've discovered that my experience and decisions have been distorted by the energies and emotions of those around me, and the suffering in the world at large.
Yup. I'm empathic and highly intuitive. To the nth degree.
Meaning, I pick up on and process a lot of intuitive information, energies and emotions of not just those around me, but also the larger collective and universal energies and emotions at any given time. Yet, for most of my life, I wasn’t aware that my experience was being filtered through all of this, on top of the typical family and social conditioning we all navigate.
Even when I thought I was living my truth, acting independently and carving my own path, I was often still under the influence.
Taking on as mine the emotions, pain, guilt and misplaced responsibility for situations that left me living in perpetual shame, fatigue, and overwhelm. Leaving me questioning my intuition, not fully trusting myself or my experience, and in a constant state of stress, overwhelm, and confusion.
See, the thing is, I know I have a lot to share with the world. I’ve felt that I was here to serve in some way since I was little.
Every chosen path has felt like a left turn of sorts… a shift in an unexpected direction, going against the mainstream flow or even my own initial expectations. Always seeking the highest path of service and in alignment with my truth (not that I used those terms until recently).
However, often at odds with the world, or depleted by processing so much for everyone around me, getting weighed down, struggling to connect with my truth, in relationship, and live a balanced life of purpose in an enjoyable state of being, made life extremely painful and challenging to harmonize with the universal flow and align with my own unique expression and highest possibilities.
Feeling “other” for much of my life and always aware of the amazing possibilities for each of us and the world at large, left me feeling at odds with myself much of the time.
For, my inner knowing didn't seem to help me make much headway in building my life, figuring out my work, and relating to the world as it is.
The beautiful part of it all is that my life has been and continues to be a glorious tapestry of experiences, relationships, adventures, and learning, that feels like I’m getting an on-the-ground higher education in being human, all that it means to be alive, and that there is so much support available to us, as we learn to become empowered beings living this human experience.
The journey doesn’t end towards alignment, greater empowerment, compassion and joy, as each moment carries in it infinite possibilities and the stillness that always is.
Cultivating our inner experience, strengthening our own energies and presence of being, and cultivating our outer expression and environment all blends together to support us in creating a higher, more conscious and compassionate state of being. This, in turn, can’t help but shift the world at large.
Would you like to journey forward with me towards coming into greater alignment with who you are, opening to the possibilities, and existing at a higher emotional energetic state?
Would you like to separate out those external influences and at the least, begin to learn what may be influencing you and the ways you can shift your experience and strengthen the integrity of your own energy and emotional state, learning to trust yourself and your experience, that ultimately only you can truly know?
