“The Taking Your Own Shape™ One-Day Makeover Intensive helped me name the inside “crazies", the separate warring that was going on inside my mind. It helped me leave a world behind that was not working and cross over into a new way of relating to food and myself.” ~Jane, San Diego, California

Our aim is to make this unique approach available to everyone who is ready to embrace permanent weight loss and the inner transformation that leads to all life-long outer success.

“I felt stuck - like being unable to get out a revolving door. The tools that were presented at both the Taking Your Own Shape™ Makeover Intensive and Mini-Retreat were clear and concise. I learned to be open with my heart and not my controlling mind. The process seemed more challenging than I thought I would be able to integrate. Not true!! Allowing openness literally opened me up to make huge changes. All I had to was to be truly open to receive information.” ~Lilah, Apple Valley, California
The One-Day Makeover Intensive is the first step and a prerequisite for all our other live group programs including the Mini-Retreat. It's the perfect way to see if Taking Your Own Shape™ is the path for you. NOTE: We expect this event to sell out.

“Like so many women, I have been struggling with weight issues and depression for many years. I was at one of my lowest points and felt that there was no help or relief in sight. That was when I found Rebecca and Taking Your Own Shape™. Through this incredible work, I have learned to become aware of my body and the issues that are at the root of my struggle with food and weight. This work has given me hope and a new outlook on the days ahead." ~Sarah, Los Angeles, California
We hope the timing is right for you to join us and be on your way to your optimal shape by the New Year!
Mini-Retreat & 10-Week Class
Transforming the Rescuer to Embody Compassion Indulgence and permissiveness as the doorway to loving self-care
Mini-Retreat September 24-26, 2010 in Long Beach
Fri 6-9pm • Sat 9am-9pm • Sun 9am-3pm The Mini-Retreat is a uniquely transformative weekend immersion experience for women ready for the profound and lasting change that comes from reclaiming a precious part of your True Self.
This fall you will transform your inner Rescuer. The Rescuer is the reason you cannot stick to a way of eating and moving that is healthy for you. It's one of the four "System of the Lie Players" that work together to make sure nothing ever changes – including your weight, relationships, finances, and basic style of life. (You'll learn all about the System of the Lie Players at the One-Day Makeover Intensive.)
The Rescuer is that part of you that says, "Awww, honey, you've had such a hard day, you go ahead and have as much of whatever you'd like to eat if it makes you happy right now. No one deserves to deprive themselves after a day like yours."
It's the permissive or enabling voice in you that results in self-defeating or self-destructive behavior under the guise of compassion, empathy, or kindness. However, true kindness never compels you to overeat or eat foods that are not supportive of your unique body. True Compassion always aligns with what is kind for your body, heart, and deepest nature. The Rescuer is really a phony trying to mimic the real thing.
For many, the Rescuer remains the closest experience they have of True Compassion. A truly tragic fact. While all our programs support women in developing True Compassion, this Mini-Retreat addresses our loss of contact with it at the very core of the issue.
Please note there are only 10 spaces still available in this program. The group size is kept small to allow lots of personalized support for the changes you seek. Our goal is 100% success for each of our students at every event and we set class sizes accordingly.

10-week Class September 29 - December 15, 2010 in Long Beach
Wednesdays 6-9pm • No Class Oct 27th & Nov 24th Even your deepest insights and understandings can be forgotten (but never lost) when you immerse yourself in your busy daily life. To ensure your weekend transformation is fully integrated into your whole being, we follow each Mini-Retreat with a 10-week class open ONLY to women who participated in the weekend.
Naturally, your Rescuer will try to reassert it's familiar pattern as find yourself facing the same people, situations, and activities you had before the Mini-Retreat. Participation in the class is critical for helping you to use the pull of the familiar as a way of strengthening your transformation.
In the class you will integrate and deepen your Mini-Retreat experience. By the end of class, you will clearly experience your Rescuer as an old, outgrown part of yourself that not only can't save you but was an active part of your suffering. And you will have found True Compassion to be your greatest ally.
Again, while you may take the Mini-Retreat without taking the 10-week Class, you must take the Mini-Retreat in order to take the class.
Private Sessions with Dr. Rebecca Ocean
Private sessions provide expert guidance, deeper customized support, and compassionate accountability for your transformation.
Students are led in their growth and development in a powerful, gentle process of developing the awareness and facilitating the release that catalyzes permanent change. By being guided through the process one-on-one, students enhance their capacity to guide themselves through the process on their own.
Many students have had or are currently in psychotherapy. Some students are psychotherapists themselves. All students have had some experience with psychological or spiritual development work. Typically, while students may have learned a lot about their family of origin, they have not been able to embody their understanding of their history, relationship issues, and behavior with food in a way that has led to permanent weight loss.
That is our specialty.
With your openness and commitment to the work, you will transform inaccurate beliefs and self-defeating behaviors, get to the core of your issues with food and weight, and lose weight for the last time.
Sessions may be held in person, by phone, or by Skype. Dr. Ocean works with students all over the world.
"Dr. Ocean and I have been working together in private sessions 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
Full sessions at reduced rates are included in the Goddess and Diamond Lotus Dakini packages.
