Want to experience more creative expression? Feeling stagnated in your life and/or work? 

Using a mixture of consulting and coaching approaches, working one-on-one we will collaboratively identify personal strengths and resiliencies in your work and life, as well as clarify opportunities to support and enhance self expression, creativity and vitality.

From strengths-based, body-centered, mindful and compassionate stances we can formulate strategies of support that help to reduce sources of stress (allostatic load), as well as invite more joy and play!

Scientific Manuscripts, Grant Applications 

Specialisations:  scientific manuscripts (editing + content, flow, clarity), grant applications (academic, non-profit) 

I have been assisting clients with editing to achieve their publishing goals for over 25 years. 

I have grant writing experience (>20y) in the realms of academic research, community advocacy & social justice.

 

About me

I look at whole systems, making connections between the macro and micro, bridging socio- and ecological systems. My doctoral research in the western Arctic (Nunavut) helped me refine the art of being quiet, listening, reflecting, discerning deeper needs, noticing what’s working and what needs are being met… or not.

 I am familiar with both quantitative and qualitative research approaches. 

My approach is relational, rooted in wellbeing and resilience, informed by the realms of mindfulness, attachment theory and trauma-sensitive body-mind/somatic practices and values.

I am a settler single parent to my son, who is full of energy and curiosity. I was born in southern Ontario (Anishnabek, Haudenosaunee & Métis Nation lands) and am of Russian-British descent. I am honoured and grateful to live & work with/in shíshálh (Sechelt), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and Inuit homelands. I acknowledge my responsibility and joy to center and support Indigenous sovereignties - towards a more compassionate and empowered existence for all.

 I love being out-of-doors, mushrooming, walking, gardening, swimming, communing with my forest family, playing and just being....

I am curious, thoughtful/contemplative, engaging, sensitive, compassionate, attuned and intuitive. I value connection, authenticity and joy/play. I am actively engaged in processes of self-inquiry and growth. 

Testimonials
D.
(xwesam/Stelk'aya, Roberts Creek, BC, Canada)

As an editor, Rebecca has eyes that have seen wounds in writing that I could never see, and can then make creative suggestions to mend those wounds. ...new and improved writing is the result!

As a creativity coach Rebecca has both an incredible insight to the human condition and the ability to speak from the heart to the varieties of what it means to be human. She has provided both that insight and her heart-voice to help my wife and I hear each other, towards resolving certain challenges, and not only to resolve, but to heal.
S. 
(xwesam/Stelk'aya, Roberts Creek, BC, Canada)

Rebecca helped me move out of a chaotic time in my life through lovingly and expertly facilitating a healing process that included practical solutions.  She helped bring organizational structure to my office space while also helping me explore my deeper emotional and spiritual journey with disorganization. 

Rebecca helped me understand how my external realities, chaos in this case, are inseparable from my inner journey.

(ts'uḵw'um, Wilson Creek, BC, Canada)

Rebecca is able to tap into an instinctual wisdom and a breadth of experience and professional skills to bring forth in you an awareness of issues buried beneath the surface, and to help you articulate them. She will challenge you with compassionate curiosity to understand the roots of issues and what you can do to bring wellness into personal, professional or inter-personal spaces. She will then work with you collaboratively to organize your thoughts, your needs, and your asks (of yourself and others) and use your truth, and your strengths to grow, create and play.
