Rebekah's Story
Throughout her career, Rebekah has worked at the intersection of trauma theory, learning, and teaching. She has collaborated with Family Court systems, social services, schools, and healthcare organizations to support children and families, and now focuses on helping educators and school administrators navigate the social and emotional dimensions of teaching.
​
A former faculty member at the Sanctuary Institute, Rebekah led trauma-informed transformation efforts across schools and human service organizations nationwide. She also served as an adjunct faculty member in the Mental Health Counseling and Community Psychology program at Russell Sage College.
​
In 2016, she founded Prana Mani, a consulting and training organization dedicated to addressing the impact of trauma on learning, relationships, and school culture.
