Join Me for a 7-Day EMDR Clinical Training Retreat

I am so excited to lead the upcoming EMDR Intensive Clinical Training at the beautiful Ayers Rock Resort near Uluru, Northern Territory, Australia. I can already feel the magnetic pull of that red desert landscape. It’s as if the spirit of Uluru—so strongly revered by the local Indigenous community—calls out to us, gently reminding us that healing is possible wherever we gather with open hearts and clear intentions.


For seven full days, we’ll immerse ourselves in skills-building, personal reflection, and a deep dive into the transformative power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I’ve watched EMDR turn the tide for countless clients struggling with trauma, addictions, and those tricky compulsive behaviors that often keep people feeling stuck.


We’ll be earning up to 54.5 CPD hours, which is a terrific bonus if you need to keep your professional development up to date. Plus, I believe there’s something special about learning in a place that merges ancient cultural significance with modern comforts—talk about the best of both worlds! You’ll stay in single occupancy accommodations (plenty of space for peace and quiet), savor delicious meals, and even enjoy a sunrise experience. In the afternoons, you can recharge your mind (and maybe your soul) however you see fit—whether that’s a brisk stroll, a quiet meditation, or simply watching the desert colors shift in the sunlight.


I know this retreat won’t be just about professional growth. It’ll also be about community, introspection, and discovering fresh ways to support the people we serve. During the daily training sessions, we’ll explore how to integrate EMDR into our work, practice those techniques in a supervised environment, and engage in open discussions that challenge and expand our understanding of trauma therapy. When we wrap up at the end of the week, I want every participant to feel more confident—armed with new insights, deeper self-awareness, and a supportive network of colleagues to stay connected with long after the retreat ends.


If this resonates with you, I’d love to see you there. Spaces are limited, so please be sure to sign up as soon as possible. Let’s come together in the breathtaking heart of Australia, expand our skills, and renew the passion we have for helping others overcome life’s hardest moments. (And who knows, maybe we’ll pick up a little desert magic along the way!)
