So excited to share that, after a year and a half on the waiting list to get into the training, and then 4 months to complete it, I am official IFS Level 1 Trained! This modality has truly changed how I view myself and work with my clients, and I look forward to continuing to bring its healing power into my work. For more information on this transformative approach, you can read more at the link in the comments. To get started on this journey, reach out to me to schedule an appointment.
