Welcome!!

I am so glad that you have landed here on my page.
My name is Becky Traptow and I offer deep inner healing and soul work for individuals, both online and in-person, as well as through group work.
I often blend different modalities in my work and can therefore offer customized sessions geared to helping individuals unpack what has brought them to this point in their lives, heal what needs to be healed so that they can go from living in a survival story to living an embodied, soulful life. Skip to the bottom to see the modalites or use the tab at the top.
I believe that we all have something deeply vital to contribute to this planet that is not found in the 'job' we do but is found in the essence of who we are, our soul. The problem is that most of us have lost touch with who we actually are and are living very small, a habitual lives, lives designed to keep us small and safe but have long since been meaningful or satisfying. Eventually, the cost to living such a life comes out in our symptoms. These symptoms like depression, auto-immune issues, resentment, jealousies, a feeling of being lost, addictions, chronic tension etc, are signposts telling us that something is not quite right, and that we need to dig deeper.
I love to support people to dig deeper. I am not in the business of symptom management but instead help people uncover the patterns, the small story, the wounds, the un-lived life that is trying to get our attention through our symptoms. In order for our symptoms to change, we must get to the root and address the questions that life is asking us and heal what needs healing.
Are you ready to find out who you REALLY are?
How we do the work
Connecting Chronic Pain To Emotional Roots Through Bodywork
We are our body, our body is us.
We are not separate. To fully heal, we MUST include our body.
Our body tells our story.
The limited role I was stuck in, my good girl, was showing up in my chronic back tension, and in the physical loss of my voice. I needed to connect my physical symptoms to my story in order to heal.
Therapeutic bodywork is one way to uncover and heal the many effects of our traumatic experiences, our stuck emotions and the results of the limited roles we play, known as our survival story.
.
Becoming Our Authentic Selves Through 'Parts Work'
We are more than we appear.
Until we work to uncover our authentic self, we are showing up in a limiting role, as one of our many 'parts'.
Our 'parts' are part of our survival story and we have mistaken them for who we actually are.
Some limiting roles you might be stuck in?
The good girl, rescuer, conformist, tyrant, rebel, good boy, victim, princess/prince, co-dependent one, the sad one.
Our roles are our childhood survival strategies. We can heal them and live a much fuller expression of ourselves.
Discovering Ourselves Through Dreamwork
I f you have never worked with your dreams, here is your opportunity.
We dream an average of 4-5 dreams every night, and when added together, could total 6 years of our lives spent dreaming. That's a long time to spend and assume it is because of the food we ate, or stress.
Dreams come to you from you soul, your psyche because it is trying to tell you something you don't already know or is inviting you to feel something you might not be feeling. Dreamwork is a portal to discovering your authentic self.

You rock boats sometimes and live to tell the tale
-
You change your relationship to your body and heal
-
You integrate all the parts of you
-
You are no longer ruled by 'should'
-
You are in relationships because you truly want to be, not because of co-dependence and rescuing
-
You re-discover your vitality and aliveness
-
You do things you never thought were possible for you, things outside your box
-
You feel your own emotions and you let others have theirs, even anger
-
You set boundaries and survive
-
You learn how to have difficult conversations and don't abandon yourself in them
-
You feel proud of yourself and confident in your deep, inner knowing
-
You find and live YOUR truth
-
You recognize when you are in your wholeness and when you aren't, and what to do about it
-
You discover and live from your heart
-
You re-discover your instinctual knowing, your gut center
-
You have true self-compassion, maybe for the first time
-
You develop skills you can use to continue to heal and integrate yourself on ever deepening levels
-
We inspire the up coming generations about what true adulthood looks like, instead of serving as a warning of what not to do
What People Are Saying
"Becky is very skilled and intuitive. I am mind blown as to how the body stores emotions and how Becky helps you recognize the effects of storing these emotions in your body in such a non intrusive and non judgemental way. Profound."
Galen, Astrologer and Client
"You Changed My Life."
Tracy
"I have had several sessions working with Becky online and I have found each session to be profoundly helpful as I have sought to gain deeper wisdom and healing around a body trauma that I suffered early in life. Becky's mirroring of my experience, her deepening questions, and her affirmations of the steps I am taking have combined to lead me to a new place of wholeness in both my body and spirit. I have found Becky to be a compassionate and committed ally in taking this journey and have discovered that the online format has not been a barrier in any way."
Brian, Life Coach
There is no sense talking about "being true to yourself" until you are sure what voice you are being true to.
It takes hard work to differentiate the voices of the unconscious.
Jungian Analyst,
Marion Woodman
The key to healing and growing whole is not suppressing symtoms, eliminating wounds or eradicating sub-personalities but, rather, cultivating our wholeness...
Bill Plotkin
...Consider the possibility that you and everybody else is a multi-dimensional personality. And that is a good thing.
Richard Schwartz
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You just have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Mary Oliver
