About Rebecca

Who you see: Cacao Enthusiast. Ceremonialist. Multi-passionate. Poet & Author. Non Fiction Editor. Mentor, Teacher & Coach. Intuitive Singer.

Who I also am: Nature Lover. Helicopter Dog Mom. Bougie Minimalist. Drama Queen. Dancer. World Traveller. Celine Dion Fan. Happy Cryer. Artist. Messy, real human.

Hi! I’m Rebecca Tendrich - I’m so happy to welcome to my corner of the world where it’s ok to just be your messy human self while living and leading from the heart. Where space is held for the full spectrum of who you are without feeling like you need to fracture yourself to make others feel comfortable.

After a decade of seeking, healing, studying and discovering what it means to be a soul in a human body I choose to walk the way of the heart because this is the most fulfilling path for me.

I’ve distilled that decade of teachings, while making shit tons of mistakes along the way, into digestible ways for you to connect with your heart too, then begin creating a life that is coherent with that.

And while yes, I have the degrees, the certifications, and trainings, one of my greatest teachers, Mama Cacao, has shown me what it means to truly live and lead from the heart. This 3+ year energetic study and on-going relationship with the Spirit of Cacao has supported in me in integrating and embodying the many teachings and lessons I have learned along the way. In short: She helped me discover the pathway from my head to my heart, even after several years of engaging in healing and personal growth work.

After spending 15 years in the financial industry, I took off time to explore my passions, focus on my business, and experiment with new activities and adventures I didn’t have time to try in my 20s because I was too busy being a “successful corporate employee” - whatever that means. I got divorced, knowing my marriage wasn’t supportive of where I was heading, and over the next 5 years began dismantling the life my mind built and began creating the one my heart longed for - full of chocolate, travel, creativity and art, soul fulfilling friendships and community while improving familial relations, learning to sing and dance again, play new instruments, and spend an incredible amount time with nature. But most of all, I started living life for me. I removed the expectations placed on me by others and started not only listening, but acting, based on my inner guidance. Learning to listening to that still, quiet voice has led me to some of the most magical and synchronistic unfoldings of my life (like publishing a book!!)

“You have helped my soul unfold in ways both magical, mystical and marvelous. And I don’t know how to thank you.”

“I came into this with a husband that worked full time from home and we’ve never been under the roof at the same for probably longer than 3 hours at a time except perhaps on the weekends. This has given me such a peace of mind and piece of my self that goes so deep that I was able to sit in my living room/kitchen and just be with myself. And be ok with that without having to run out of the house to feel complete, to seek my adventure, to be on the go all the time. All I knew was driving 60 miles to work every day work 8 hours then drive back – and then repeating that… I can’t find words enough to say how much more complete I feel as a life form on earth in this body, my embodied sprirt. I’m speechless – so thank you. And you probably helped my marriage! In ways that I’m yet to find out.”

Fun Facts about Rebecca

Sometimes, I feel as though I’ve lived many lives in just this one so far. Here are some interesting things about my experience on this earth:

  • Because we all love a lil’ astrology: Sun - Sag, Moon - Leo, Rising - Sag. Triple Fire Baby and a 5/1 Sacral Manifesting Generator

  • I spent 9 months in 2025 traveling in South and Central America. I spent time in Peru, Colombia, Mexico, and Guatemala. (A True Sag here!)

  • I am a HUGE Celine Dion fan and saw her perform live for the first and only time in Feb 2020, which fulfilled a life long dream.

  • I love to be around my friends, family, and community but I moreso love to spend time in the woods…alone.

  • I published my debut collection of poetry in 2024, which opened doors for non-fiction editing and writing coaching, proving you just never know where life’s roads will lead you.

  • I’ve been writing morning pages for over 1100 days straight as of writing this, not once missing a day.

  • I spent 8 years in a cult religion (age 15 - 23) which greatly shaped my boundaries, relationships, view on community, relating to God, and so much more since I’ve left.

  • I am currently working on hiking the 48 presidential peaks in the White Mountains and have completed 14 so far.

  • I taught myself to sing intuitively, frame drum, play harmonium, and the shruti box. Of course I had a leg up on this as I grew up on music, having spent over a decade in various music lessons and studied music for 3 semesters in college before switching to a business major.
