Neuroscience-informed coaching
Keep the superpower. Gain control of the switch.
You don't have to abandon the qualities that made you successful. The opportunity lies in examining what drives them, what they cost, and where greater choice becomes possible.
Understanding your patterns expands your possibilities.
The beliefs, expectations, and habitual responses beneath your achievements can shape your choices in ways you may not fully recognize.
Examining those patterns isn't about abandoning your strengths or assuming something needs to be fixed. It's about understanding how they operate, when they serve you, and where a different response might open new possibilities.
Whether you want to pursue more ambitious goals, navigate change, or find greater satisfaction in what you've already built, this understanding can help you move forward with greater intention.
Meet Your Coach
Hi, I'm Rebecca.
I'm Dr. Rebecca Sappington, a neuroscientist, certified coach, and leader with more than 25 years of experience in scientific research and academic leadership.
My career has been driven by curiosity: questioning assumptions, challenging accepted explanations, and following the evidence wherever it leads. This curiosity recently prompted my study of neuroregulatory tools that can modify the nervous system responses that influence how we navigate challenges and pursue meaningful change.

I bring that same curiosity to coaching. I'm interested in the patterns beneath our achievements—the beliefs, expectations, and experiences that shape how we think, make decisions, respond to challenges, and define success.
I know firsthand that the qualities behind exceptional performance can be both powerful and costly. My work isn't about deciding which parts of yourself need to change. It's about exploring what drives you, what serves you, and where a different choice might introduce new possibilities.
The Verterra Method
Understanding yourself is valuable. Learning how to use that understanding is where new possibilities emerge.
The Verterra Method provides a flexible framework for examining the patterns that shape your experience, questioning assumptions, and experimenting with new ways of thinking and responding.
Rather than following a rigid sequence, we revisit and refine the work as your understanding, goals, and circumstances evolve.
01 Reflect to Reveal
Explore the values, needs, and patterns shaping your experience.
02 Resolve to Rewire
Examine underlying assumptions and reconsider beliefs that may no longer serve you.
03 Redirect to Revitalize
Translate new understanding into intentional decisions, actions, and ways of responding.
04 Repeat
Revisit, refine, and adapt as your understanding and circumstances evolve.
Working Together
Coaching with me is a collaborative process grounded in curiosity, honest reflection, and a willingness to challenge assumptions.
Our conversations create space to examine what's driving your decisions, explore perspectives you may not have considered, and experiment with different ways of approaching what matters to you.
You bring your experiences, desire, and a willingness to explore. I bring scientific curiosity, thoughtful challenge, and a framework that helps turn exploration into meaningful choices.
The direction of our work is shaped by you. Whether you're navigating a transition, pursuing an ambitious goal, or reconsidering what success and contentment mean to you, we begin with where you are and what you want to explore.
Let’s Have a Conversation
If you're considering coaching, an initial conversation is an opportunity to discuss what you're looking for, ask questions about my approach, and explore whether working together would be a good fit.
