This post has been a long time coming and I feel so thankful to be sharing this.
Iām so excited (and really emotional too:) to share that Iāve officially completed Level 1 & Level 2 EMDR training and am expanding my practice to include EMDR with movement based bilateral stimulation options.
A huge thank you to the Omakim EMDR Institute, Dr. Dani Kahn, and all of the amazing staff for this opportunity and for not only believing in me and this wild idea of combining EMDR with boxing as BLSā¦but for being so incredibly wise and knowledgeable and even already years into developing out of the box BLS techniques!
The whole thing started years ago in a moment Iāll never forget: I was boxing training on pads with a client who was also in EMDR therapy, and she suddenly stopped and said, āHey, this feels just like the eye movements I do in EMDR.ā It hit me like lightning. Since then, Iāve been dreaming, learning, and slowly building this method piece by piece alongside DBT, somatic therapy, play therapy, and more modalities.
Fast forward to today and weāre already piloting EMDR sessions with boxing as the BLS!
And please God, thanks to Dr. Tuly Flint, and the Omakim research department, weāre running our first research study to see whatās happening underneath boxing as bilateral stimulation.
To my classmates and practice partners, thank you for humbling yourselves, for showing up, for practicing, and for teaching me just as much as the trainers did. This experience was so whole.
Now accepting clients for the coming year who want to experience EMDR with boxing as bilateral stimulation. Looking forward to meeting you!
PS, in the picture here next to my proud certificate, is the place I sat for our awesome zoom trainings! I got to bounce and punch while I learned at the boxing therapy studio:)
