For years, I’ve dreamed of merging my passions for EMDR and travel, and I’m beyond excited to announce it’s finally happening! After two unforgettable visits to Tuscany, this enchanting region has captured my heart, and I’ve made an incredible friend who is there helping me coordinate this special event. ❤️🙏🏻

I can’t think of a more perfect setting to host my first EMDR advanced training/retreat under the beautiful Tuscan sun ! 🌞 If you are an EMDR therapist interested in learning more about this unique opportunity, please reach out to me at 
olivia@empowerjourneyemdr.com.

I’ve built a wonderful network of EMDR therapists and I want to give my network the first chance to join this experience. I’ll be holding off on sharing this with the larger EMDR community for at least a week.

Filled with gratitude after spending the weekend with these amazing humans! It was such an honor to share my knowledge and passion for EMDR with this group of therapists. They were dedicated, vulnerable, and hungry to learn. We even had some fun….”notice” the practicing of lion breath in the picture 🦁.

Congratulations to the latest cohort of EMDR Therapists who completed their Part 2 Training this weekend! We now have 20 new EMDR Therapists to help heal this world utilizing this incredibly powerful modality ❤️‍🩹
