I never thought working with someone could do so much for me in such a short period of time. Taking Your Own Shape™ is life changing. Dr Rebecca Ocean is the most compassionate person I have ever met. This is the best transformative experience of my lifetime. If you are truly ready, I highly recommend it.
–Yve, Long Beach Rebecca's novel perspective and unwavering support have encouraged me to try many new things. I am no longer stuck. I have lost weight!
–Rose, San Francisco
Dr Ocean and I have been working together in a mentor relationship for several meetings. I cannot express how grateful I am to her for the new world she has introduced to me. In a very short time, she has enabled me to finally break through my old, destructive thinking and behavior that trapped me in a never-ending cycle of shame and guilt around my body, food and eating. In this short period of time, Becky is teaching me to re-connect with and listen to my body and appreciate its wisdom with regard to my right size, shape, activities, and nutrition. She has a non-judgmental style, an intimate familiarity with these issues, an impressive knowledge of nutrition, psychology, and all the other subjects which encompass this field, and she has a serious dedication to the process of redefining this critical relationship with our bodies. She is the perfect teacher for this delicate work and I highly recommend her to anyone who can relate with this deep inner struggle. –JF Harris, Palo Alto In Becky's workshop I discovered the beauty of the body and I know I love my body unconditionally for the first time in the 62 years of my life. This is a huge change! It was a very powerful experience. –Bette M, Tucson
To receive the wisdom of Becky's research and teachings is to have some of the mystery of my personal empowerment and sacred relationship with body revealed. I am grateful for her invaluable contribution to our culture. At a time when many so-called weight loss experts are telling us to listen to them, Becky shows us how to listen to ourselves.
–Sharon, San Francisco
Working with Becky has introduced me to my body in an entirely new way. In the past, I approached the idea of weight loss with thoughts of deprivation, fear, guilt, and self-loathing. Becky has shown me that with or without weight loss, I must learn to love and care for the precious part of me that is my body.
–Dina, Scottsdale The other day my sister asked me about my Taking Your Own Shape™ class, "Does it actually work, Christy? Have you started exercising? Has it helped you lose weight?" I said, "Yes, in a much deeper way. It helps me realize why I eat the foods I do in the first place, what blocks and issues are there, and how to release them. This understanding allows me to eat and exercise in a way that I lose weight naturally." That is the truth of Becky's work. Thank you!–Christy, Long Beach
Too often we are used to thinking of weight as a problem to be fixed, and feeling powerless in the process, we are unaccepting of who we are as whole people. Becky's workshop was enormously helpful in recognizing how we use food to suppress our power while protecting ourselves at the same time. As women in this society we are expected to dim our light. This workshop enabled me to look at my life with renewed compassion and enthusiasm for all that I am and can be. –Heidi J, Tucson
I came away from the compassionate, deeply moving experience with newfound hope, energy, and power.
–Lynn, Tucson
My experience in Becky's class is of Honor, Validation, Trust, Equality, Creativity, & Healing. We encourage each other to step fully into ourselves.
–Kelly, Menlo Park
Having taken several of Becky's classes, I find myself much more motivated to meditate, draw, exercise, and be good to myself. She has a very spiritual and down-to-earth perspective.
–Roni, San Jose
The most prominent experience I have after working with Becky is a sense of empowerment. I have a more keen awareness of my feelings because I have a deepened awareness of being in my body. Working with Becky has helped me to be more aware of my intuition and how I can be with myself in a compassionate way that promotes growth and acceptance of exactly where I am in my process with myself and my body. I feel more in touch with my inner wisdom - that sense of inner knowing that allows me to follow my truth and my passion in this life. I am learning how to speak my truth, rather than eat my truth. I have a deeper appreciation for my femininity and my inner masculine side that is trying to emerge. After I leave a session with Becky, I feel a sense of excitement and wonderment and hopefulness that I can recover completely from disordered eating.
–Sage, Tucson
Dr Ocean's unique approach to food and weight education is liberating. After attending her workshops, dealing with weight management no longer seems like work, but a journey into self-expression, self-actualization, and self-love. Her talent and passion for these soul-healing programs is inspiring.
–Carrie H, Tucson
Becky rocks! At the very least I thought that the 4 hour workshop be a nice Sunday afternoon respite from the work-week, a chance to meet Becky and other women, a chance to hear something new about "be who you are" or whatever. But the actual experience was much, much more than that for me. From the opening meditation, the group was immediately intimate and powerful. When Becky shared her experience of making her body cast I was moved to tears. The highlight of the afternoon for me was a guided movement exercise where I got clarity about my struggle that astonished me! I left with an abundant feeling of possibility and a big smile on my face. I wanted this gift to myself to continue, so I signed on to participate in her 12-week Taking Your Own Shape class.
–Lesley M., Tucson
The workshop I attended got me in touch with an inner power to assist me in attaining my goals. It was a very enlightening experience. I would recommend it to all women!
–Carole, Tucson
Long-hidden parts of myself are being heard and the wise and strong parts are coming up for air more each day.
–Ariel, Montana
