    Becky helped me so much in my recovery and at BrainEx90. I am Deaf, she really worked so well with me. Taught me pacing, helped me with situation as concussion really ruined my life. It was life saving experience for me. I remembered her humour and happy energy. She was a very memorable person in my journey with many healthcare practitioners.

    Congratulations, Becky! I love seeing creativity, connection, and community woven into the work you do.

    Also, speaking as a fellow yarn enthusiast – are you accepting long-distance members of the Parkwood yarn club? I’m available as a crafter by proxy, and I’m just a scoot down the 401 in KW if you ever need a satellite location 😉

    Becky’s advice, coaching, empathy, and optimism literally changed my life as a patient with an acquired brain injury in the Brain Ex 90 program. Becky taught me how to successfully re-engage with the world – shopping, visiting others, attending events, driving, and pacing out my day are just a few examples. She has a very impressive depth of knowledge and so many helpful strategies which she willingly shares. She celebrated my successes and always offered hope with my struggles and questions. This gave me the confidence and desire to do the hard work of rehab. She is a true treasure. Forever grateful.

  • Ethnee Roodt says:

    Becky is grounded and she helped me learn to do the same. Her voice is etched in my memory and cuts through moments where I feel frazzled and overwhelmed. Like a sports coach, she told me “you’re tired because you did life, what you do in class with me are drills, but out there you’re playing the game, go do life, you’ve done your drills” I remember meeting her in person for the first time, long after I completed virtual BrainEx90. I was overjoyed and surprised by how tall Becky is! Becky was part of a team that helped me put my life back together after I acquired a brain injury. You deserve this and I do hope you receive the award.
