Rebecca believes in the power of writing to help us access our own inherent creativity. Creative expression is a well-used tool in her own wellness and healing toolbox and she loves helping others cultivate a positive relationship with writing and greater awareness of themselves through her workshops.

She has made her living as a writer, writing coach and workshop facilitator for the last 25 years and her memoir, Cancer Happens: Coming of Age with Cancer, was published in 2004. Rebecca is active in the brain health community as a Parkinson’s advocate, care partner advocate, and podcaster. She and her husband, who was diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson’s in 2017, host a podcast called When Life Gives You Parkinson’s and speak at events around the world.
