The Founder

Rebecca Wilson

Rebecca Wilson is an award-winning executive coach, speaker and mindfulness teacher. Recognized for her expertise in Conscious Leadership, Rebecca helps high-performing Executives, Founders and Change-makers quiet their busy minds, cultivate inner steadiness and expand their impact from the inside-out.

Rebecca spent much of her life identifying as a high achiever (who desperately wanted to do good in the world). At some point along the path of striving for more outward impact, she realized she’d lost connection with herself. Her path of self-discovery led her to experience the profound effects of mindfulness and subsequently train as a certified coach, meditation and yoga teacher.

Wisdom traditions and personal development

Along this journey, Rebecca continued to thrive professionally, moving into senior positions in the management consulting and healthcare sectors. As she observed changes within herself and her clients, the transformative impact of inner development work on leadership effectiveness became increasingly evident.

Rebecca weaves together over 15 years of corporate strategy and leadership development experience with her qualifications as a professional coach, mindfulness and yoga teacher. Arborvida is Rebecca’s truly unique, transformative offering to the world.
