Her ongoing study of the body includes frequent cadaver dissections along with coursework in fascia research, somatic studies, and visceral manipulation. Rebekah was one of the first visiting teachers at Pilates Anytime, and has presented at numerous conferences in the Pilates industry, at the International Osteoporosis Foundation Worldwide Conference, and for the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS). She is a member of the Ambassador Leadership Council for the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation and worked as a partner of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Women’s Health.
