Testimonials, Debra Beck

"Thank you, Debra. I am so grateful for the two days we spent with you learning about ourselves – our little girls and our ego. It will help me look at Kylie in a more loving way, because I know that her actions/reactions to our conflicts are from her ego, not from her true inner self. I will have a better understanding of myself, and really appreciate the skills you have given us so we can work through the “stuff" that comes up day today. We have been struggling for a long time and both of us really wanted a better relationship, but didn't have the tools. Now we do and I feel so much hope in my heart that we have happier days ahead. I feel like I understand myself more and then also can understand Kylie more."
     - Shelly, Mother

"In just two days, Debra has helped my mom and I learned so much about each other and taught us how to keep our egos in check when having a conversation. This was the last known option for my mom and I to fix our relationship and I think it has helped immensely. Thank you..
    - Kylie, Daughter

"I am so happy that my daughter made the trip with me to see Debra and participate in Empowered Teens and Parents Retreat! My daughter, Sadie is 14 and as you know a roller coaster of emotions, which of course triggers my emotions. Debra did an amazing job walking us through a new way of communicating. I learned so much about myself and about Sadie. We have been through several therapists and never learn so much information."

    -Sadie, Daughter

This retreat was super helpful in teaching me how to be the best version of myself. It showed me techniques to do when I'm upset, and taught me to be happier. Debra was very encouraging and patient throughout the whole experience. She help me and my mom understand each other more, and helped to repair our bond. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and grow as a person. I definitely did!
    - Bridget, Daughter, 14

Debra was very welcoming and made me feel very at ease, right off the bat. She is knowledgeable, connected to the fantastic facilitator was able to help shift barriers between my daughter and I in very short period of time. I would recommend the retreat to all moms/daughters who are looking for a higher understanding of themselves and their relationship.
Thank you, Debra!!
     - Brenda, Mother

This retreat was very helpful for me and my mom. We both got to learn more about ourselves as well as each other, while unraveling things and figuring out certain things between us that stopped us from having a good mother-daughter relationship.
    - Sophia, Daughter

This retreat was an amazing experience that removed the blindfold of my ego's actions and allowed me to understand the concepts of my ego and higher self. As a person with major skepticism, this retreat made me doubt the effectiveness of this retreat however, I felt that this retreat was effective in all of its aspects, including the energy meditation techniques. I am glad I did this retreat and truly recommended to those who wish to be morning peace with themselves.

  -Mathilda, Teen Daughter

I have tried everything to try to improve the relationship with my daughter. We came with an open mind (even if my daughter)  which is key. The work just doesn’t stop at the retreat. It is actually just the beginning as long as we do the work. If you’ve tried everything else and nothing has made a real impact, try this. You have nothing to lose.

   -Karla, Mom

 This retreat was helpful because I learned things about myself and ways I can control myself and be the best person not only with my mom, but in general.

   -Elle, Daughter

This retreat has set my daughter and I on a better path for our family. We understand each other, not just on an intellectual level, but on a soul level thanks to our work in the retreat.
    - Sarah & Lucy

Debra has been a God send. The months leading up to me contacting her were filled with days of dread, anger, guilt, and hopelessness as my daughter and I were constantly fighting  and angry with each other. We were emotionally disconnected and to be honest I didn’t really like being around my d aughter and her negative energy. She would tell me how much she hates me and wishes she had a different family.  I felt she needed help and that if we could just “fix” her then we would have a peaceful house.

I went into the mentor sessions thinking Debra would help me figure out my daughter and HER issues. But Debra did something even better, she helped me figure out MY issues. She  helped me acknowledge past traumas, what my triggers are , and how old beliefs relate to how I handle my daughter. She helped me realize how I play a huge part in all this and gave me tools to deal with my triggers. She gave great insight and suggestions on how to handle certain situations and held me accountable to follow through with them.

Sedona was the perfect backdrop for a weekend of breakthrough communication and learning. Debra took me and my daughter through a weekend of exploration into why we think and respond to triggers. She provided practical tools to use in moments that challenge old thought patterns. This weekend drew us closer as I got to see into the heart of my daughter. I feel empowered as a parent whereas coming into this retreat I was lost and confused. I can’t wait to use what we learned in my daily life. Thank you Debra for providing such an enriching weekend of learning. I would travel again across the country for this retreat. It was well worth it.
-Nyree

It was a very powerful retreat. I learned a lot about my mom’s side of our issues and had a better understanding of how my behaviors take me out of alignment. I now have the tools to better communicate with others.
-Kennedy

Debra was great to work with. She gave me a voice and showed my daughter the wounds I was working through from childhood, when I struggled to hold boundaries. With my daughter’s understanding of what is happening inside me I feel I can better transform my parenting.
-Lori

I believe the retreat went very well, I had a good experience with Debra and learning about my inner self and also learning about my mom and her and yourself. The retreat really spoke to me and help me and my mom both around our relationship.
-Gracie

As a therapists and counselor, I learned So much from this retreat with my daughter. We love the peaceful serenity of the Sedona historic and, more than that Debra’s knowledge, passion, and compassion. We arrived a little bit apprehensive and left completely calm and at ease. Debra radiates love and light. If you are thinking about doing this retreat. Don’t hesitate, do it.

I signed up for this retreat with some healthy skepticism laced with the tremendous amount of hope. I feared that the relationship with my daughter was irreparably damaged so this was my last hope.

On the second day of this three day journey we had a breakthrough. It was tough and it was painful but with Debra’s professional and loving guidance, my daughter and I clearly understood the meaning of our child, our ego, and our higher self and how our egos were getting in the way of our love for one another. It was as if a light bulb had turned on and we knew exactly what we needed to do.

My daughter apologized to me and told me she loved me. She had not said these words to me in several years. She in turn, realize that she is and always has been loved, without this retreat I would not have known that she felt unloved.

This was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who is experiencing problems with their mother daughter relationship including, but not limited to an estrangement. Thank you Debra

Arriving to the retreat, my relationship with my daughter was headed toward “The End” I was desperate for answers, understanding, tools and a calm, neutral place for it. Debra is amazing, her retreat in Sedona is breathtaking! Love our casita and spending time in Sedona with my daughter. I left with a new sense of me, a new sense of love, kindness and peace. Thank you for showing me all I am and all I deserve.

As soon as we began I knew this was the direction I was wanting to go I felt Debra was spot on with where the feelings are coming from and truly gifted me with the tools to care for those feelings. She did such a great job at turning an ugly/hurt filled situation into a meaningful, purposeful, beautiful experience. I love the way I see and feel about myself, my mom and our relationship… Not only with each other, but with every body else in life. I can’t thank you enough, Debra. You are such a gift! I feel blessed to share in this experience.

-With love, Jennifer (Daughter)

Debra, thank you so much for helping me to connect with my daughter and myself. I’m very glad that I chose you in this reconnecting process!
-Sincerely, Julia (Mom)

Debra’s mother and daughter retreat set my daughter on a path toward untangling the cycle of emotional tension that existed between us. We learn that we react emotionally because of our own internal feelings that cause the big emotional reaction toward one another’s circumstances. Deborah helped us see this pattern of interaction. She taught us to recognize those emotional reactions and show us how to calm those feelings to better support and react with each other. We gained a greater understanding of the role our inner child has on our reactions. We are leading this retreat with tools to care for our self more kindly and loving each other more compassionately.

There is no doubt that my daughter and I love each other, but it became difficult to communicate and we took everything so personal that it got in the way of showing each other that love. Debra was able to show me a new way of looking at my hurt and open up my heart to see that it wasn’t about anyone else, but it was my own wounds that had an impact on all my relationships. This retreat was an absolute awakening for me and has allowed me to view things from a different perspective for my own self growth. Now I can contribute to a healthy relationship with not only my daughter but everyone in my life I’m so thankful that Debra has given me insight to see things differently and that she is open my mind and heart to a more beautiful, loving relationship with my daughter.

-Diane

When my mom signed us up for this retreat, I initially was only doing it for her benefit. I knew we had difficulty getting along, but I thought she was the one who needed to change in order to better our relationship. In just three days, however, I realized that was the furthest thing from correct. Debra really opened up my eyes to how we all contribute to every unhealthy relationship we have, and I started to see things differently with not only my mom but my whole outlook on life. There were times when I was skeptical of trying her method, but Debra was always calm and let me work at my own pace. When I didn’t understand the concept completely, she was able to explain things in a way that both my mom and I understood. The whole weekend was life-changing and I recommend it for anyone who is interested in bettering their life in any aspect. Debra is an amazing person and very accommodating to every situation. Whether you are in a difficult spot or just want to learn more about yourself, I don’t think there is anyone who wouldn’t extremely benefit from this retreat.

-Darrian

This retreat was fabulous. It brought us closer together and helped us heal ourselves and our relationship. The tools that Deborah has given us will be beneficial throughout our lives. Deborah was wonderful to work with providing us with her knowledge her kindness and her sincerity throughout our stay. Thank you Debra for all that you have given us to grow and strengthen our relationship.

-Betty and Kate

The knowledge and tools that Debra has given my daughter and I is incredible! She is extremely compassionate and gave my 16 year old daughter and I a place where we felt safe to talk to her about anything and with no judgment.  She came to us with facts and then provided us with the tools to be able to become stronger in our relationship and to understand each other on a level that was so deep. What Debra does in her Mother Daughter retreat is so special and so powerful! My wish is that she could somehow reach every mother and daughter out there, so that everyone of them could experience this beautiful gift she has given us! I will forever be so grateful for you Debra! 

– Mom

During this retreat I’ve learned so much about myself and my mom. Stuff that I would have never been able to see without the help of Debra. The way that she breaks it down makes everything so clear. Before meeting Debra and coming to this retreat, I didn’t have a relationship with my mom. To be honest if this didn’t work I was ready to give up. But after just 3 days of working with Debra everything has changed.

I now understand why we act the way we do , what to do and how to talk to my mom when I’m triggered. I am so extremely grateful to have Debra and I wouldn’t want anyone else to help me with this process. I’ve literally only known her for about 4 days and I trust her with my life. The work that she does is amazing I will never forget how she changed my life.

–I love you, daughter

In the short 3 days here in Arizona at this retreat I have learned so much valuable information, tools, and skills I cannot wait to get home and put these in use on our everyday life.

Debra is great! She is kind, compassionate, and open. She can work with any situation and turn it into a positive learning and eye-opening experience.

Through the thickest fog that life can bring comes Debra Beck:  a radiant voice of reason during times of trouble or uncertainty. I, and several of my family and friends, have worked with Debra, regularly, for more than a year.

Debra Beck is a beacon of light and love who will enable you and your loved ones to know and love yourselves more then you ever imagined possible.  I am a better woman, mother and friend because of Debra’s influence on my life.
