“Becca has a way about her that blends real substance, with sincere feeling. There is depth and meaning to her work, but the way she makes those around her feel while in her presence is special.”
“Becca has been a guest speaker for my organization addressing the benefits of mindfulness as one way to manage navigating the challenges of doing "hard things" while holding incredibly high expectations. Becca has led and facilitated impactful sessions on utilizing mindfulness to reframe perspective, contextual awareness, and meaning, or purpose.”
“Learning to meditate with Becca Peters has truly changed my life. I had always been very intimidated by meditation. I am a highly anxious person and believed that my anxiety would make it impossible for me to meditate. To block out my anxiety in the past, I would always keep myself extremely busy, always doing something or making a to-do list in my head. I was afraid of not being able to sit with my own thoughts, I was afraid of what I would find in myself if I truly sat in silence. I felt sure that when I tried to clear my mind, I would be overwhelmed by the self-critical thoughts in my mind. But as soon as I met Becca, my fear evaporated. She offered to come to my apartment to set up my own meditation space. On the day of our scheduled appointment, she brought me everything I needed to get started: a candle, a journal, a meditation pillow, and some resources for further reading. Our session was surprisingly simple: she asked me questions about myself to get to know me, she guided me through my first meditation practice and then we debriefed and discussed what the experience had felt like for me.”
“After just one session, I felt profoundly changed my Becca’s wisdom. Her insights repeatedly took me aback and caused me to rethink the way I saw myself. She encouraged me to respect the power contained within my anxiety, rather than hating or rejecting it. At the same time, she helped me set boundaries with my anxiety, understanding that if I fed only my anxiety -- and neglected the joy, spontaneity, and love within myself -- my anxiety would continue to burden me. I learned that I am not broken, I have agency and I can live with anxiety in a way that I am now able to feel joy.”
“Becca showed me that learning to meditate is about creating more space between you and other elements in your environment: other people, other things that affect you physically and emotionally. Before I worked with Becca, I felt that I had no ability to filter or internally manage the way the world affected me. When something stressful would happen at work, when my boss said something critical, when I was having a tough time in a relationship or with a friend, I would be completely overwhelmed and overcome by anxiety, as if I was simply a sponge and my anxiety was water. Becca helped me understand that I cannot control my surroundings, but I can learn to be intentional about how I choose to interpret the things that happen to me and to decide what story I will tell myself about what those events mean. I can choose whether or not to feel that I am a failure, that I can never do anything right, that I’m a bad person. Or I can choose to treat myself with compassion and forgiveness, to develop a loving relationship, an essence inside of me that is not defined by achievement, that is just simply, immutably good.”
“I would highly recommend working with Becca -- in fact, I already have recommended her to many people, including my own brother, who has found Becca’s influence on his life equally powerful and life-changing.”
“I don't think that it was an accident or coincidence that Becca and I crossed paths when we did. Her innate ability to perceive me, my purpose and the challenges I am confronting was deeply impactful emotionally as well as empowering. Becca combines substance along with a calming disposition. She can read the room and meet people where they are.”
“The biggest discovery within myself while working with Becca is a much deeper appreciation of just how emotional of an experience it can be to feel seen. I hope to pass this gift on to others in my life.”
Did you have any major "Ah Ha" moments in working with Becca? “Just a simple observation, which is that none of us are perfect and that our lives are defined by imperfections, struggles and even discomfort. Becca's humility amplifies this. Her energy and devotion to service is precious.”
“I’m really not a guy who would talk about his feelings much, but I found a safe place to talk about some really hard stuff. Becca made it possible for me to be vulnerable, talk about my needs, and my fears. Most of which, I didn’t know I was holding in. She has helped me find some peace and I’ve found a little more of myself along the way. That’s a pretty good feeling! Thanks Becca!”
