“Rebecca is a very warm, smart, and honest professional. Her work is holistic, growth-oriented, and exciting. My experience working alongside her has been very inspiring for she is able to identify and address the root causes of systemic/cultural/group/individual problems and propose outside-the-box solutions while including everyone on board in the solving process. In terms of heart-centered leadership, empathy and inclusivity, you won't find someone like her for she walks the talk and inspires others to do the same. I totally recommend her!”

“Rebecca has a remarkable gift for facilitating the difficult conversations we need to have and creating a safe space for the healing to take place. It has been a joy and privilege to experience the grounded presence, wisdom, care, and compassion she brings to these conversations – whether one-on-one, in a small group, or as part of a large international audience on Zoom. With her extensive background in empathy building, mentoring, and training groups of all sizes, Equity Doula is the perfect vehicle for Rebecca to share her gifts. With the creation of Equity Doula, Rebecca beckons us to listen, learn and speak from our hearts, to join her on a journey of awakening, reconciliation, and transformation in the divided places we live and love, in our neighborhoods, workspaces, and communities, in our country and our world. Rebecca’s work is stunning and I give her my highest recommendation!”

“I feel so blessed to know and work with Rebecca. She is an amazing educator and practitioner. Her work is exceptional and her breadth of knowledge was extremely helpful to our team as we were planning and processing our peace work overseas. Rebecca's calming presence was essential to providing a safe and meaningful conversation. I would recommend her to all who are seeking a true leader in this space.”

It is a gift to work with Rebecca. Her intuitive guidance leads to your understanding that you have a gift worthy of development. Propelled by possibility, you become that much more excited about your plan. Where you have been stalled in your vision, Rebecca’s guidance will give you the courage and clarity to proceed. Rebecca breaks through the confusion you may have around your goal. She is the “untangler.”
Clarity, confidence, and courage are what you will gain working with Rebecca Irby.”

"I have basked in glory reflected from Rebecca at the UN, where she has organized and run many a program for students. What especially impresses the UN crowd are the students she recruits into these programs – students who normally wouldn’t think of visiting the UN, much less taking part in conferences and lobbying diplomats. Her work has earned her a place at the table when NGOs start planning UN events. Her organizing skills have taken her to New Zealand, Korea, Japan, and even Minneapolis, where her stellar performances invariably lead to the next task"

“Rebecca has many gifts in the area of user-friendly and technologically savvy instructional methodology. Rebecca understands learners and how to create instructional approaches that will be appealing to beginning learners, veterans, and everyone in-between. Rebecca has been part of numerous workgroups and teams, collaborating with diverse groups of professionals. She is a favorite person on our project. People enjoy working with her because she is motivated, dedicated, conscientious, goes the extra mile without being asked, and helps to make work enjoyable because of her relentlessly positive spirit.”

“In every encounter, I have been impressed by Rebecca’s educational instincts and devoted humanism. These unique qualities hold a special and important place in what Rebecca brings to her work, and will surely influence the trajectory and growth of this new arena as a truly brave (and global) space for healing. Rebecca’s work in arts and culture will continue to stretch this space, while her human development plans are specifically pointed towards expanding circles of healing and accountability.”

“Rebecca is a joy to work with. I worked with her in developing a cutting-edge website with applications to the education and business community. Her work was stellar. She is creative and brilliant with a "can do" attitude that synergistically builds innovative and effective design. She is able to access all needed resources and her knowledge in the field is excellent. Finally, she is wise beyond her years demonstrating a clear, caring, and engaging way of working with the people around her.”
