“I'm IFS level 1 trained and have taken other EMDR and IFS trainings and I thought Crystal was like a breath of fresh air. She was knowledgeable, creative and compassionate as a trainer without over complicating two modalities that are easy to overcomplicate. It all felt very accessible and fluid. Thank you.”

"Can I just tell you how much I appreciate how you lead consultation group?

You seem to have such a natural way of holding a safe space on line that is supportive and open, as well as informative.

I am not only learning a ton about EMDR and Parts work, but also just how to effectively manage consultation groups online. So I just had to say thank you for doing what you do, and sharing your knowledge with us."
