Rebecca Eckland

Rebecca brings such incredible caring, intelligence, humor and soul into her coaching and facilitation! I've known her for many years and had the privilege of witnessing her growth and unique journey to claiming her own gifts and light as a coach, as a client, as a colleague and as a friend. Her ability to hold space for deep reflection, embodied metaphor, and profound life changes as a Soul-based Coach is powerful. I turned to Rebecca in a time when I felt ungrounded and had a deep longing for roots and clarity about moving through some grief I was experiencing as a Korean adoptee who was finding ways to reclaim my ancestral connection through energy work and writing. Rebecca's wise guidance allowed my soul to breathe easier, find clarity and even come to a vision of a clearing in Korea that was my own "home." I found a pearl and followed it through a portal in which I could see several years into the future that the work I am doing now took root, was connected to the Earth I come from, and would nurture and flourish and grow as I do. It's a testament to the deep trust Rebecca has been able to establish with me that I could go to these places within myself for such healing. Her supportive presence, thoughtfulness and light-hearted humor carried me through the coaching process. I highly recommend working with her to get in touch with your deep, buried places and allow them to be seen and held--with Rebecca's gentle and uplifting wings!

I worked with Rebecca before she started using this site, so I have rather extensive experience with her. I went through the soul-based coaching process with her to help identify things in my life that I think I had missed or were missing. I loved the process even if it occasionally was emotionally tough. We ended up with some images and steps for me that I am still using and enjoying. The process is really the key part of this. I found that some of the exercises, especially drawing or sketching images, were really powerful for me. I'm not someone who draws normally and don't have much skill in this, but it's not about artistic quality. I found the process of drawing and looking later at the images I made to be very rewarding and powerful. Rebecca's role in all this was one of guide and encourager. She kept me on track and encouraged me to embody some of the images I came up with. That also really helped me understand what these meant to me. I cannot say enough about how Rebecca's careful listening and guiding really helped me get so much of the process. She has a real skill in seeing what's important and focussing in on that. Plus she has an incredible amount of care and empathy when working with me. This can be hard emotional work and feeling like I was in safe and supportive space was key and very welcome.
