Do you speak more compassionately to others than you do yourself?
Are you kinder to others than you are to yourself?
Are you often trapped in shame and negative beliefs about yourself?

In 2021, her “From Fear to Freedom” workshops at Wolf Park sold out and received high reviews:
“I loved every part! The wolves were incredible and the workshop itself was more informative than my 10 years in therapy.”
“I enjoyed everything. Truly. From the initial outreach to the content, the facilitator, the staff, and the participants. Bravo! I’m a big fan.”
“Observing the group become more open and able to voice their fears in public [was my favorite part]. There was a lot of concern and compassion shown by Rebecca and by the participants.”
“The whole weekend was exceptional. I would like to be able to have opportunities like this 2-3x a year.”
