Community Voices
When I shared my vision for Return to Her with friends, colleagues, and loved ones, I asked if they would be willing to offer their support—through words, encouragement, or a letter.
​
I was very moved by what I received in return. Such an outpouring of love and confidence: honesty, warmth, belief, and deep trust—not just in my vision, but in me.
​
I want to publicly express my heartfelt gratitude to each person who offered their voice. I am truly humbled. Your confidence in me, your ability to see the vision even before it came into being, and your willingness to stand beside me in these early days—it means everything. These voices are part of the foundation this retreat is built on.

“Supporting Return to Her feels deeply personal... I’ve witnessed the way she shows up for women, time and time again, with compassion, strength, and a rare kind of tenderness.”
Mandy M. – Colleague
“Her vision for this retreat is deeply aligned with who she is—and I believe it will offer real value to the women it’s designed to serve.”
Ashleigh C. – Former Colleague
“I can absolutely say that she had an impact on me. Becky is an authentic person. She is open and honest about the difficulties she has had in her life, and it allows others to feel safe about being open. Becky has so many impactful stories about overcoming challenges. I couldn’t help but be inspired by her resilience, and her ability to keep going in the face of adversity. There are so many trials that we share as women, but many of us don’t speak about it. We fear judgement and apathy. Becky is the type of person you would want to share your story with. She is a fierce advocate for women, with a kind and empathetic heart.”

“I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Return To Her and their proposed Sanctuary /respite project. As someone who has experienced social isolation, raising my kids alone and basically not having ever any time for myself, I can personally attest to the urgent need for this project in our community.
Becky Leach understands the challenges that individuals like me face every day. She has been a trusted resource and source of support for me, and I am grateful for her work.
Return to Her has the potential to make a real difference in the lives of people like me. By building this sanctuary for women, this project will provide critical support to those in our community who are most in need of rest and stillness.
I believe that Return to Her is uniquely positioned to execute this project with excellence. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication to this issue are unparalleled.
I am proud to support Becky Leach and her continued efforts to make our community a better place for women of all walks of life. I hope that you will join me in supporting this important project.”

“By knowing her my life has been made all the better. She has conquered so much spiritually, physically and emotionally in her life. Seeing her perseverance through the ups and downs has given me strength to face challenges in my own life. Personally and socially she is so responsive and caring, giving of herself even when her cup seems empty.”

“You have such a kind heart. No matter what you have going on or what kind of stressors you’re facing at home or work, you have a smile on your face and you do what you can to help others (sometimes ignoring your own needs). Return to Her sounds like a wonderful program that will help many people. I believe in you Becky! You are starting something and I am positive that it will be successful.”
