TESTIMONIALS
Attending this retreat was life changing for me and the way I choose to practice. Not only have I never had a website set up, but now my website will be launching in September, I’ve been receiving many referrals for EMDR intensives, and I am loving the process of helping folks in their healing journey using such a powerful experience as EMDR intensives… Kelly and Sadie are the best motivators/trainers and I never would have considered all of this possible if it were not for them.
This has been one of the most life-changing trainings I’ve attended. This has helped me so much already not just professionally but personally as it is giving me breakthroughs that are solving what have been perpetual frustrations in my life. What I loved most about this training was how you continued to ask “What is your ideal?” when approaching various aspects of the plan. It really kept me focused on using my ideal to guide my plan vs so many competing pressures and feelings. I didn’t realize how little I had been creating a life and practice around details that mattered most to me. It was so liberating to not only have permission but encouragement to keep my focus on that.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I got a lot out of the training. I really like Kelly as a teacher: very clear and organized; answers questions well and manages time well. I feel equipped to move forward with marketing and an eventual full transition to intensives – I am grateful!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks so much, Kelly! I feel like you have changed my life… by helping me design a plan for my future as an EMDR therapist.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kelly helped me come up with a plan and even how to structure the time so I can implement this plan. I loved the way she presented the material as a group discussion. It was the best money I have spent in a long time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It was so valuable. I feel like I left with more knowledge and a plan to launch my intensive practice in June. Kelly is a gift to the EMDR community.
Excellent coaching, excellent education, would recommend to others!
Overall, this training exceeded my expectations. It was very well structured and knowledge presented was very useful. Great training and the trainer was awesome!
Beyond what I imagined. Informative and connecting. This is doable sooner than anticipated. So much of the fear has been experienced before….shake that S–t off, then use it as manure to fertilize.
This was an amazing retreat!!! I walked away feeling confident, excited, motivated, and connected to other phenomenal providers. Kelly and Sadie are brilliant, welcoming, and truly created a sense of safety as we immersed ourselves in the EMDR Builders Retreat. Grateful for this opportunity.

What’s the main difference between the in-person and virtual workshops?
- In-Person Workshop – if you attend live, you will have time for implementation; meaning, we will craft your emails, set up your marketing content and videos, change the verbiage on your website and more!
- Virtual Workshop – It consists of conceptualizing your needs and creating a strategy for your business. There is NOT time for implementation. At the in-person retreat, people will be writing emails, making marketing copy, and immediately implementing their learning. The virtual workshop will not have time for that piece; rather, we will be focused on creating your unique plan for you to implement outside of our time together.
What are the registration fees?
- In-Person, 2.5 Day Workshop: $1,900 per person (maximum of 15 people)
- Live, Virtual 1 Day Workshop: $997 per person (maximum of 8 people)
