In this testimonial, Rebecca "Becca" Williams recounts her lifelong struggles with insomnia, seizures, a racing heart, and a pervasive sense of brokenness. She describes trying numerous alternative treatments—including light and sound therapy, acupuncture, heat therapy, and hypnosis—without lasting relief. After beginning somatic and trauma‑focused work with Val and Samadhi, she experienced an immediate, profound release, leading to consistent 8‑hour nightly sleep and a reduction in resting heart rate from about 100 bpm to 60‑80 bpm. She emphasizes that the somatic approach was the most effective and fastest‑acting method she tried, and she finds the practice enjoyable, involving breathwork, movement, dancing, laughing, and crying. Rebecca urges viewers to confront their own “shadow side” and try this embodied trauma work, framing the personal journey as a fun, empowering challenge.

Hi, my name's Becca. I never understood growing up why I didn't sleep, why I had seizures, why my heart raced. I never understood why I felt so broken. I found Val and Samadhi, and the first time I did it, I felt this huge release out of my body. I slept, guys. I slept for the first time, and I can even tell you that now I sleep 8 hours a night. I do, and it's amazing. And how did I go without it? I learned to breathe with Val. My heart rate went from 100 beats per minute to a resting about 60 to 80. I've done other— a lot of random weird things, and I've done light therapy, sound therapy. I've done acupuncture, heat therapy. I've been hypnotized. Just like, I've tried it all. This has given me the most reward shortest amount of time frame. And it's fun! Like, I have fun doing this. Who has fun doing trauma work? Val and somatki do. So give it a try. Dance, laugh, cry. Face your shadow side. The final boss, it is you. It's how you reacted to deal with the trauma. You have to face yourself. So I just encourage you to give it a shot, give it a try. What do you have to lose, really?
