ME/CFS RECOVERY

“Prior to this, I was housebound, using a wheelchair with very severe symptoms. Now I am living my life, out and about and physically active every day and feeling immensely healed. You've given me my life, joy and health back. I will never stop being indescribably grateful for that!!”

- Poppy Wildman, Nottingham, UK

“Long Covid is long gone!

“My experience of Be Your Own Medicine was like seeing chaos turn to order in two months! I had a huge breakthrough with my last remaining Long Covid symptom: severe head pressure and brain fog.  This was really debilitating and by far the most severe, constant, and unrelenting symptom I had.  Through the course, I had a magnificent, and rather dramatic, breakthrough where this symptom went from a 10 out of 10 to a 2! As I write this, all symptoms are nearly gone!”

- Angela Lawrence, Kamloops, British Columbia


"It's an ultimate game-changer."

I was more or less still housebound with Long Covid when I started the course. The course enabled me to stand up to my fear. It  gave me good tools on how to do that. I ride my bike all over town now. I go hiking for two or three hours. I even go out and kayak on the river again! I can eat whatever I want.  I can work on my computer without getting brain fog. Fatigue is more or less gone. It’s pure joy! It’s such a pleasure to be able to do these things again. It’s unbelievable!

-  RENATE KIRSCH, frankfurt, GERMANY


“You’ve cracked the CFS code!!!”

“Having been part of DNRS, GUPTA and CFS RECOVERY JUMPSTART, the totality of ALL of my prior brain retraining courses do not add up to the wondrous platform you’ve lovingly created! Your course and your guiding presence uplifted and freed me, Rebecca. I am back to motorcycle riding and classic car trips, (big thanks to YOU!) doing what I love! I did a really nice AM paddle today… loving this new Jon 2.0!!! I am dancing in the sunlight of gratitude that the next decades of my life will be filled with abundant energy & adventures!”

- Jon H., Carlsbad, california


“It’s miraculous!”

“You’re changing my life! I want to thank you with all my heart. Due to watching your videos and guides, I have gone from barely able to eat for 4 years to eating everything!!! I had been in hospital with gut issues and was close to making the horrid decision to have gallbladder surgery because I thought I had Crohn’s disease. I now make a menu each week with meals I’ve dreamt of for so long. Yesterday I hosted friends for dinner, cooking butter chicken curry. This week I’m hosting pancakes at the beach for sunrise. Thank you!!”

- Amy Dodsworth, Skegness, England


“I no longer have chronic symptoms!”

I was housebound with debilitating CFS. I felt like a prisoner in my own body. A naturopath diagnosed me with mold, toxins, and other scary-sounding ailments. Signing up for Rebecca’s Be Your Own Medicine course was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Today, I no longer suffer from chronic symptoms. I feel greater freedom and confidence in my body. I once again can access inner peace, which is a true gift. I’m so grateful to Rebecca for creating this incredible course, born of her heart and soul, which has helped so many reclaim their lives.”

- Sarah, Boston, Massachusetts

  • “I was housebound with debilitating CFS. My ongoing symptoms included fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, muscle and joint pain, orthostatic intolerance, post-exertional malaise, headaches, temperature dysregulation, sore throats, multiple chemical sensitivities, sensitivity to noise, and more. I felt like a prisoner in my own body, and just getting through each day was a tremendous challenge. It’s still difficult for me to convey how helpless I felt as I watched the life I had carefully built slowly unravel. My goals and dreams slipped further and further away with each passing day. My life became devoid of any meaning or purpose other than trying to regain my health.

    Both before and after receiving a CFS diagnosis, I worked with numerous doctors and specialists who provided little guidance or direction. One doctor and another functional medicine practitioner suggested reactivated EBV. A naturopath diagnosed me with mold, toxins, and all sorts of scary sounding ailments. I was told to take expensive supplements and follow restrictive diets that only reinforced the fact that I was sick and my body was damaged. It felt like the harder I tried to recover, the worse things would get. I desperately wanted to heal and regain my well-being, but I felt so confused, fearful and unsure of how to do that.

    I watched numerous CFS recovery interviews and explored different recovery strategies and materials. One day, I saw Rebecca interviewed about her own story. I recognized so much of her experience in mine. Our symptoms were extremely similar, but mostly, I related so much to the way in which she described the emotional reality of living with and trying to recover from CFS. I met with her 1:1, and in only an hour, she gave me more valuable advice and direction than anyone else I had encountered. It made a significant difference for me. Months later, I decided to sign up for her course. Doing so was one of the best decisions I ever made.

    Be Your Own Medicine is the most comprehensive and supportive program available for people with MBS. Rebecca shares an extensive amount of knowledge, practices, and tools. Yet, she organizes and presents it in a way that is manageable to navigate and digest. In addition to nervous system regulation and numerous somatic practices, she gets to the heart of understanding the way in which subconscious emotions, thoughts, and beliefs can drive chronic symptoms.

    Rebecca’s program is inspired by her own lived experience and recovery. I trusted her because I knew she had experienced what I had. Therefore, I believed that I could recover, too. Her course is infused with the wisdom and guidance that can only come from someone who truly recognizes the kind of desperation and suffering that chronic symptoms can inflict. She understands the ups and downs of the recovery process, and she guides each student through it with expertise, reassurance, love, and compassion.

    The Be Your Own Medicine approach is not prescriptive. Instead, it’s flexible and designed to be individualized for each student. I was encouraged to experiment with different practices and find the ones that resonated most. Rebecca empowers students to focus on what feels right rather than forcing something that doesn’t work. As a result, I eventually learned to tap into a mindset of ease and trust in the recovery process. I also found that certain practices were more or less helpful during distinct stages of my recovery, so I appreciated having access to her course for a full year.

    The path to healing is different for everyone and there is no “right” way. I really appreciated that in this program, I was encouraged to work at my own pace and to focus on what made me feel safe and supported. Rebecca emphasized that when we feel pressure to do things a certain way, or to do them before we feel ready, it can lead to more fear. Pressure and fear do not support healing. So the key to this course is to connect with your own intuition and authenticity and to let that guide your engagement with the lessons and materials.

    Today, I am no longer suffering from chronic symptoms. I feel greater freedom and confidence in my body. I have a framework and skill set for engaging in life in a more balanced way. I once again have access to a state of inner peace, which is a true gift. Further, this course has led me down a path of introspection and self-discovery, which has been deeply insightful and rewarding. I’ve learned to embrace a more holistic view of my health and well-being. In doing so, I now relate to myself with less pressure and criticism, and more self-compassion. I’m so grateful to Rebecca for creating this incredible course, born of her heart and soul, which has helped so many reclaim their lives.”

    —Sarah, Boston, USA


“I feel the best I have in my whole journey.”

“Be Your Own Medicine was the final piece in my 8-year recovery journey from CFS/ME. I was mainly housebound and only able to walk for 10 minutes beforehand. Since your course, I swim and paddleboard in the sea! I went to three festivals and danced my socks off! I’ve been on 2-hour coast path cliff walks. I do weight lifting at the gym. Your focus on peace, play and pleasure was a game-changer as I’d become so serious in my healing journey. You’ve given me a different approach to recovery and I feel the best I have in my whole journey. I’m finding the sweet spot between effort and ease and having more fun fun fun!”

- Charlotte Stephens, Cornwall England

 
 
“During your course I started to expand my world. Physically, I am doing almost everything! It is like magic.”

 
 
“I started walking 10,000 steps a day, went on a city trip and started to see friends and family again. I can now cycle in my neighborhood. I went skiing the last couple days!! I even took the skibus and afterwards walked the dog. Can you believe it? Last year I was here lying in my bed with Long Covid while my family was skiing. Hardly possible to join dinner or any other activity. So happy!!!

- Mabel Ansenk, The Hague, Netherlands

iN STUDENTS’ WORDS

What Sets Be Your Own Medicine Apart?

 
 
 

I loved all of it! Brain training helped in some ways but felt like a burden and my difficult feelings were suppressed. With Be Your Own Medicine, we’re taught to accept and love all of ourselves and all of our emotions and feel them. This was new and game changing for me. This was the best course I've ever taken! By far!

- Joelle M, USA

 
 

“Rebecca's course is different!!  It's gentle and individually respectful. There is NO EGO, nothing about this being the only way and having to stick to it exactly. She encourages us to listen to US: We have the answers within.”

- Debi R., USA

 
 

This is the one! Entirely different planet!!! This is soooo much tailored to the individual, meaning Rebecca really said “what works and soothes you IS what works!” Other programs are “must do this, in this order” which only causes more pressure and stress!!! This was a life changer. Rebecca and the team are angels!”

- Jennifer Bauer, Virginia, USA

 
 

There is no other program like BYOM and I love that it exists. This approach helps take away the fear. It free’s up the ability to enjoy your life again. I received so much valuable wisdom in each module and the meditations are a blessing.”

- Ariel DeAngelo, Atlanta, USA

 
 

“I feel totally well, at ease and alive! With traditional brain retraining, relief never lasted long because it didn't make me less afraid of symptoms. BYOM has given me back my life, without hours of rounds and anxious fixating on symptoms. I have recovered and healed beyond what even some therapists and coaches said was possible.”

- Anne B., London, UK

 
 

“I feel as though other brain retraining programs can be effective but only provide a temporary plaster (band aid). This course gives healthy practises that you can implement easily in your routine and give longterm, realistic solutions.

- Julia O’Brien, UK

“This program was a
game-changer for me.”

For me this course did so much more than simply help with fatigue, it helped me process long held trauma. I am now able to give myself self-compassion in the face of suffering. I have also more than doubled my step count and even taken a part-time job in a supermarket, which is very physical. I have been given the right combination of tools to help me recover. It would have taken me years to figure all of this out on my own.”

Long Covid Recovery

 
“I had completed 15 months of brain rewiring through DNRS and was completely stuck. I had developed Long Covid around month 12 of DNRS and I felt like I lost all my progress and went even further back than ever with symptoms. Your course was exactly what I needed! It really brought me immediate relief. Somatic meditations and journaling have helped settle my nervous system and get back on track. I'm so thankful and happy that I found you and your program!”

“I took my first 5K run in six years!

“In Be Your Own Medicine, I’ve learnt about mind-body symptoms and am astonished at the difference it’s making! I’m more aware of my emotions and how it impacts my body. I’m more confident in restarting activities that I haven't done for years, including walking and jogging. I took my first 5K run in 6 years. Fibromyalgia stopped me in my tracks but now mind-body healing has given me my life back! I’m back doing things I love that make life worth living. Thanks for helping me gain my life back!”

- Emma Edwards, North Wales, UK


“Your course has been life-changing. ”

I was fairly housebound with long Covid/POTS symptoms for 12 months before I took your course. Within the first couple weeks, major shifts happened as I learned to listen to my body and feel my emotions rather than push them away. It’s amazing what strong self compassion does to our nervous system! I found the courage to leave an unhealthy marriage and did this with ease and grace. I've even taken my kids away for a 4-day holiday a week after moving, all by myself. I am standing up to fear and trusting because I know I am not actually sick.”

- Nic, Australia


“My levels of anxiety are almost gone.”

“When I signed up for this course, I was in bed with CFS desperately looking for a way out of a dark hole. After two months of the course, I can live a pretty normal life, resuming relationships with family and friends and walking three times more than I was able to three months ago. I went from being in bed to working part-time. I finally KNOW what is happening in my body and mind and the way I can construct new habits to have a healthy, happy life. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this initiative.”

- Héctor Silva, SANTIAGO, CHILE


“I got my life back!”

“Rebecca, there really are no words to describe how much gratitude I have for your work! I took your course last year, and I got my life back. I had severe Long Covid, which kept me bed-bound for years. I was unable to take care of my two young kids and had to leave my job. Now, I am able to look after my children and exercise regularly. I’ve also set up my practice as a clinical psychologist. Your Be Your Own Medicine course was truly wonderful. It gave me the confidence and permission to trust myself in finding the practices I needed to heal myself.”

-  Isabelle Straw, Norwich, UK


“My POTS symptoms are totally gone!”

I can stand up anytime. I can work for longer now. I couldn’t work for even 10 minutes on the computer. Yesterday I was in a meeting where people were directing me on what to do on a website for four hours. The fatigue is way better as well. I just went on a 3 or 4-mile hike a few days ago and am feeling totally fine!”

- Megan Kennedy, Point roberts, washington, USA


“This course is revolutionary.”

It provided help when there were so few resources to aid my Long Covid recovery. My symptoms ranged from extreme headaches, insomnia, chronic fatigue, joint pain, exertional tachycardia, chest tightness, shortness of breath, hormonal imbalance and heartburn. The results from receiving this teaching has allowed me to beat the symptom of chronic fatigue and go back to work full-time as a nurse. I wouldn’t have gotten my life back on track without this course. Thank you Rebecca Tolin for your Be Your Own Medicine course and for making an amazing difference to my life!”

- Jane Davies, London, UK

"It’s such a shift in freedom!"

"Through the course, I learned to address the CFS symptoms and I lost my fear of them. I stopped crashing, which was one of my biggest achievements. The combination of knowledge and practical tools were really, really good combinations. It made a tremendous change. It was empowering and enabling. Once I trusted that process, I reintroduced walking. I can walk up to three hours now. I’ve been hiking in the Swiss mountains for a week! I started jogging. I can jog 15 minutes in the morning, which is fantastic. It feels great!"

“Rebecca’s guidance”

 
 
 

Rebecca, you are a beautiful human being! Your radiant Spirit infuses love into every offering on this journey. Your deep desire for each of us to find our way through and home is so palpable and heartwarming. Your whole team is a beautiful reflection of you. I am deepening my ability to be with ALL parts of myself and whatever is arising.”

- Simone, Lismore, Australia

 
 

"My symptoms have been greatly reduced and I have released a lot of the fear surrounding them. I LOVE Rebecca's calm, reassuring voice during the meditations—It was oh so well worth my money just for access to those alone!  Through the meditations, I learned how to deeply relax. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and look forward to listening to it again and again over the next year! It is the best!"

- Johanna Harris, Asheville, NC, USA 

 
 

“Not that we strive for perfection, but I can't imagine a more perfect coach. Such genuine commitment to our healing, such a well researched and varied program. After each live class I felt uplifted and inspired to continue the work. When Rebecca asked “What is present now when you don't have to fix yourself?” the earth shifted.”

- Anne Rendahl, Stockholm, Sweden

 
 

“I appreciated Rebecca's kindness, compassion and honesty about her own journey. I felt seen and heard. Rebecca has a gift, her voice is so calming and soothing. She transports me into a relaxed state. The course is wonderful. For the first time I experienced a shift in fatigue when practicing meditations. Nothing else gave such immediate results. Rebecca gave me so much hope and will help thousands.”

- K. D., Croatia

 
 

Rebecca, your energy is awe-inspiring. I could feel your love and compassion through my computer. Your voice is angelic and you're always in my pocket with the guided meditations. I love how much information you’ve provided, the explanatory notes, live sessions—everything was perfection. It was very supportive. I felt seen and held.”

- Nic, Australia

 
 

Rebecca's mere presence and voice are so soothing, and every word she speaks is so well chosen that I almost felt like I was in a dream—getting the chance to learn and experience her virtual presence was almost like meeting an angel for me. I have never experienced someone so loving, thoughtful, intuitive, compassionate, intelligent, and authentic and did not realize that was possible. I did not want the course to end!

- Joelle M, USA

 
 
“In the past eight weeks, I have done more and expanded my world more than I have in the past eight years!”

 
 
Rebecca's work sees you as a full, unique human being, not just a set of symptoms, and has the potential to heal so much more than just your physical condition! I'm not exaggerating when I say that after a traumatic few years, this course and all the lovely souls within it has really restored my faith in humanity and helped me to rebuild trust in the goodness/kindness of others (as well as trust in myself, my own healing path, and capacity for a full life again!). I also feel far less anxious and am generally happier and more optimistic than I have been in many, many years!

“An Ocean of Love”

 
 
 

“Being part of Be Your Own Medicine meant being completely immersed in an ocean of love, support, wisdom, and compassion. After each live class I absolutely could not wait until the next week's live class! I've come alive again through the joy of community after being too long in isolation….It's like a giant hug that lasts for months!”

- Lorie Rosseau, Georgia, USA

 
 

“There are no words for the love and gratitude I feel for you, Rebecca. You taught me to trust myself, to listen to what my body has been trying to tell me for so long. The love and support that came through our screens right into our hearts—that was healing in itself. There are no words to describe how deeply healing it was to not feel alone but to SHARE this common struggle and know we can be/are well again!!”

- Debi R., Maryland, USA

 
 

“The compassion you had for everyone who asked a question, it was like nothing that I’d experienced from anyone else. It felt like you were just giving everyone a hug through the screen. It was amazing—no matter what anyone’s problem was, you always came at it with such compassion. I think that made such a difference.”

- Poppy Wildman, Nottingham, UK

“I am forever grateful.”

“I found Rebecca when I was going through weird post-Covid symptoms, like chest pain, exercise intolerance, elevated heart rate, Sjogren's and other distressing symptoms. I was having a terrible time and couldn't even work. Through Rebecca's work, I learned that other symptoms I’ve been struggling with for years, such as Interstitial Cystitis, were mind-body related. By applying Rebecca's teachings, I’ve recovered from my post-Covid symptoms, and have dramatically reduced my other symptoms of IC and dry eye/dry mouth. I am forever grateful to Rebecca for creating such a wonderful, life changing class!”

- Danielle J, Fountain Valley, Usa


“I am getting my life back!”

I’d been suffering from Long Covid for 2 years. I want to thank you so much for your course and your support! It was the booster I needed. I totally broke the circle of Post Exertional Malaise. Right now I am on vacation in Italy. I am going out for dinner with 15 people, running 20 to 40 minutes, sightseeing, swimming, going to bed late, playing card games and finally lots of joy. So wonderful!!!! I feel my energy is flowing again!

- MABEL ansenk, the hague, Netherlands


 

“I’m returning to the old me.”

“Becoming aware of what's been causing me to struggle so much these last 12 years has been truly profound and I now treat each day differently than I did beforehand. Being able to notice sensations, track them back to emotions and take the right action like meditation or self-compassion has a huge impact. I'm returning to the old me. My energy is coming back and I’m feeling more positive. All the meditations are a real game changer. The course was conducted in a kind and compassionate way and the in-depth knowledge was brilliant. It's difficult to put into words how much it has helped me.”

- Tim Hardy, Norfolk, UK


“My world is growing wider!

After I heard Rebecca answer my question about interstitial cystitis during the first Q & A, the flare I was having went away within a day and I haven’t had any irritation in my bladder since. Post exertional malaise no longer has the same grip on me. I no longer fear my symptoms. I've learned to experience them as just sensations. The missing puzzle pieces in my healing were found through Be Your Own Medicine. I learned that I am not sick! I learned how to challenge triggers, fight back against fear, and take back my life.”

- LORIE ROSSEAU, Georgia, USA


“My life is much more enjoyable!”

“I am very grateful for Rebecca and the Be Your Own Medicine community! My life had gotten pretty small after living with chronic fatigue syndrome for over 3 years. I was only able to walk for 20 minutes a day. Be Your Own Medicine opened my eyes to how CFS (and other symptoms) can come from suppressed emotions and fear. I take a second to ask myself ‘what am I feeling right now?’ and often the symptoms get much better or flat out disappear. This has helped me expand my life to add more exercises, be more social, and feel more comfortable traveling!”

- Zach Brandt, New YorK, USA


“I have more self-compassion!”

It is amazing to know there’s a way to cure something that plagued me for decades! I had no hope before and now a weight has lifted and I have the tools. The confidence I now have to carry on and soothe myself has caused me to recover quicker from setbacks and laugh at my symptoms! After 40 years of chronic fatigue, I now exercise every day and enjoy it. My ME symptoms are at least 60-percent improved and I’m planning lots of things that I wouldn’t have dared arrange before! Before the course, I had Interstitial Cystitis every few weeks but I haven’t had it at all since then!

Poppy Wildman’s Recovery Journey with ME/CFS

 

I’m so excited about life again!

“I did the Gupta program, which didn’t seem to make much difference. Then I found CFS School. It helped but there was still a lot missing…. When I found your way of explaining things, that was the first time I could believe I wasn’t sick. For people who don’t find success with normal brain retraining programs, it’s important to know there are other options. For anyone who feels like nothing is ever going to work for them, there is hope. I clung to that hope desperately and I found that thing that worked for me. I know that everyone can find that thing for them and for so many people, that will be your course. It’s a brilliantly done course.”

what CLIENTS SAY


“I just feel fantastic!”

“A few times I tried to do squats and I was out of action for months. The pain was crazy. Now no problem, I do 100 squats a day! I’m really embracing feeling good. I start the day and say “how good is this! How good do I feel! I’m full of energy. I have lost over 45 pounds from when I first started running about 8 weeks ago. I also have become a lot clearer in my thinking. My business partner noticed this and commented "are you taking smart pills?" My sleep, wow I can now sleep! I would have days and weeks at a time of no sleep. Now I can fall asleep fast and go into a deep sleep. It’s like someone did a grease and oil change in my body.”

- Nick Koutsos, Sydney, Australia

 

 

“I’m fully recovered and forever grateful!”

“Rebecca I'm never going to be able to thank you enough!!! I have lived more in the past month than I have in two years, after being diagnosed with ME/CFS as a result of Covid-19. At points, my headaches and fatigue restricted me from talking, listening, or even watching TV. Now, I'm living again and being a mum! Your recovery interview, all the information you share on your website and talking to you have 100% been what has turned things around for me. I’m fully recovered and forever grateful to you!!! Rebecca, you are literally saving lives, as you did mine!! Your compassion, warmth and openness is beautiful.” 

- JENNY jarman, sheffield, UK


“It feels great to be productive again.”

“Within 5 or 6 sessions, I was 95% better. Three months ago I could only work two to three hours a day. I’m back at work full-time now. It feels great to be productive again and not just laying around scared and tired. I was also having tremors throughout my body, in my chest and my legs. Now, the tremors are 100% gone. I had a lot of fatigue issues. It was terrible. The doctor said I had Epstein-Barr virus which got me worried. You took me off the ledge from thinking I had to get this virus out of me… so I could go on with my life and heal myself. That really helped with the fatigue. If you think that long Covid will never go away, you’re going to get better if you just do the work!”

- Matt Sibert, Austin, Texas, USA

 
 
 

“I am so incredibly grateful!”

“I’ve done a lot of programs, including Curable Groups and Gupta, because I’ve known I have a mind-body condition for the past two and a half years. This one has been the most life-changing and it doesn’t stop. I have folders on my computer with all the recordings organized by module. I want to have this forever. What you’re learning is how to be fully human and how to embrace the human condition… It was worth every penny and more! I am so incredibly grateful. This is enduring. It’s long-lasting.”

“life-changing resources”

 
 
 

“The audio meditations form the key structure of my recovery roadmap, used every day. The Fatigue guide literally is a step by step outline on how to approach a very vague, seemingly hard to pin down symptom. I'm so very grateful that now it's within my power to address my nervous system using the tools and resources provided in this course.”

- Dee Janz, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

 
 

“I loved all the different meditations!! These have been a game changer for me. I have done lots of meditation in the past but yours seem to really hit the spot. They enable me to feel those emotions more than I ever have done and calm my nervous system. I frigging love them!!

- Julia O’Brien, Oxford, UK

 
 
 

“I loved the wealth of truly helpful, life-changing resources. The guides and handouts contain so much information I didn't have access to. The meditations have really helped me connect better with my body and the present moment. During one of the live meditations early in the course, a stomach ache (which I'd had for weeks) disappeared and has not returned.”

- Annie M., Minneapolis, USA

STUDENT LOVE

“I'm healing decades of trauma. I've truly had an awakening and come home to myself. I was mostly bedridden prior to the course and I've been doing more activities than I have in years. I've gardened extensively. I dug big holes for hydrangeas! I hosted my husband's family reunion at our house. I cooked meals for 16 people and didn't have back pain while doing it (super big win!). Be Your Own Medicine absolutely was the missing link. This was the best decision I've made in my five-year journey with chronic illness.”

- N.D., TENNESSEE, USA

Stepping Into My Power

 
 
 

“On a physical level, my sleep has improved a lot and that is amazing. I was in flight or fight and that’s not the case anymore. I can feel those shifts in my nervous system that are already happening.…I feel like I’m in this process of reclaiming my life and being like: ‘I am a powerful human being who gets to live life fully and not let the symptoms prevent me from doing the things I want to do and being who I already am at my core.’”

- KAILEY MURPHY, BOULDER, COLORADO, USA

 
 

“I couldn’t see clearly before this course. My confidence has grown in my ability to handle difficult and very intense emotions. I now feel empowered to handle my life regardless of what’s happening. I’m not a victim. This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I have scary moments but I calm down quickly and get back on track instead of spiraling for days. Being empowered is huge for me, having lots more love for myself and ALL of the parts of me.

- JENNIFER BAUER, VIRGINIA, USA

 
 
 

“Rebecca is so compassionate and such a joy to listen to. She hears what everybody has to say like they are the most important person in the world. [Her] program sparked something in me and made me realize I am fully capable of being the person I was meant to be. I’m actually exercising now. I have a better joy for life and I’m not letting fear overtake me. I am so thankful for this course. It has changed me in so many ways.”

“I feel like I’m thriving!”

“The course has been a game changer really. I’ve struggled with insomnia for so long. I don’t wake up most nights and if I do, I fall straight back asleep, which is amazing for me. The course has helped me with that. It’s helped me relax and calm down and accept my emotions. Being able to sleep more has given me more energy. I’ve been able to do more. I work full time and now I can do things after work, which I never could do before. I feel better than I have in a long time, probably since I was about 16!”
