When it comes to imagining a more just and beautiful future, Rebecca dwells in
possibilities. Her devotion to authenticity and wholeheartedness is the spiritual
throughline of her work and of her practice of living as a late -diagnosed autistic woman.
In her role as co-founder and director – United States of the nonprofit Org School,
Rebecca accompanies organizations as they rediscover their vibrancy, humanity, and relational agency. She delights in witnessing how seemingly mundane shifts can
engender a profound sense of liberation.
She is also the founder of Together in Beauty, where she accompanies individuals on the path of spiritual becoming. Some of her favorite topics to explore are the nature of truth, creativity, and what it means to reclaim our identities in a world content in telling
us who we are. She also provides end-of-life companionship, tending to the sacredness of transitions.
Rebecca holds a doctorate and master’s degree from the Sandra Rosenbaum School of Social Work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is a licensed social worker and a board-certified coach. More than anything, she is a lover of beauty, her family, and the gift of learning to be who we truly are together.
