Why all the postboxes?

I love postboxes because, for me, they are a symbol of joy. Joy that I can walk to them! Joy that I send my books and welcome packs through them. Joy that lands on your doormat and makes you more confident, motivated and powerful in your life!

Why would I be so joyous about walking to my local postbox? Well…because for many years I was too ill to even leave my house. I know what it is to struggle and suffer and because of that deep knowledge, I can help you.

I did everything right but life went horribly wrong.

After twenty years of severe M.E. (with many months each year housebound, in bed or hospital caused by this chronic illness) I struggled with a monstrous load. I had enduring burnout and was determined to regain some balance in my physical health. As a family, we have had an immense of illness to endure. Just as my health started to improve a little bit, we had to deal with the worse kind of degenerative illness and yet more chronic illness. It was another fourteen years of deep sadness and struggle. 

And yet…

Yet there were things that made me super-resilient and very resourceful. Many people asked us for help and advice, even my University, with whom I pursued a higher education whilst being unwell, asked me to give talks about how to cope when life was really tough. Through all these profound stages in my life, I discovered that health and unity mattered most and that there had to be a loving purpose from all that struggle.

For the first ten years of self employment I worked as a motivational speaker and a christian celebrant, which meant that I spoke in public more than a thousand times and took many loving services.

I’m so pleased we’ve found each other and I hope that every time you see a postbox that you will smile!

Professional

“Dr Rebecca is the ultimate professional – always displaying positivity, caring and excellent levels of knowledge. Her passion for what she does shines through in her everyday interactions. She has had to overcome so much in her life but that has never stopped her drive and determination in making this world a better place in which to live. In fact she has used those situations to make her a stronger, more knowledgeable and engaging person. I now consider Dr Rebecca a friend as well as colleague and would highly recommend her services whether they be as an author, speaker, trainer or coach. With Dr Rebecca on your side you’re bound to succeed in whatever mission you have.”

P.S

Compassion

“Rebecca’s approach blends curiosity, exploration, understanding, kind guidance and a little bit of homework to help create strategies, problem solve and achieve your goals. I especially feel that freelancers, self employed and anyone running their own business would benefit from sessions with Rebecca. She really helps to create clarity and calm amidst all the ‘different hat wearing’ and ‘plate spinning’ and she has most certainly helped me manage my own business so much more smoothly.”

Wonderous

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for my mam. I have never, ever seen her so at peace with herself, and it’s something I never thought I would witness.

The change in her is profound –  not just in how she feels, but in how she lives, communicates and relates to the people around her.

You have given her the tools to understand and deal with her past, and the strength and resilience to keep doing a truly incredible job caring for my grandma, who is living with dementia. Watching her cope with such responsibility while remaining calmer, steadier, and more confident in herself has been nothing short of remarkable.

What you’ve helped her find goes far beyond support or treatment. You’ve helped her rediscover a sense of calm, purpose, and self-worth. As her daughter, I feel like I have my mam back – For a long time, I thought I had lost her to bad habits, grief, stress, and low self-esteem.

The impact of your work hasn’t stopped with her. You have changed my life, and you have changed my girls’ lives too. They now get to experience their grandma in a way that feels lighter, safer, and more present, and that means everything to us.

Thank you for your care, patience, and dedication. The work you do truly changes lives, and our family will always be grateful for the difference you have made.

You are wonderful – I honestly hope you realise how blessed we are to have met you.”

Hannah, Del, Lola and Eva
