Many Paths to Healing

An ND-friendly way to explore somatic and holistic modalities before committing to a full certification. Try before you train.

I'm building something I wish existed.

When I was figuring out my next career chapter, I wished there was a way to explore different somatic and holistic modalities without the pressure of committing to a full certification right away. The options felt overwhelming — EMDR, IFS, somatic experiencing, yoga therapy, brainspotting — each with its own training path, cost, and time commitment.

What if you could experience them all in one place? What if you could feel them in your own body before deciding which path is yours?

So I'm building it.

Two-Part Event

Try Before You Train

Part One

Fall 2026

Virtual CE Panel

A 1–2 hour virtual continuing education event where multiple clinicians create a treatment plan for the same case study using their own modality. See EMDR vs. IFS vs. brainspotting vs. yoga therapy vs. somatic experiencing — side by side.

1–2 Hours CE Credits Virtual
Poconos retreat setting

Part Two

January 2027

In-Person Experiential Summit

A 3-day retreat in the Poconos. Thursday night arrival through Sunday breakfast. Experience the modalities in your own body through 60–90 minute experiential sessions led by each speaker. No death by PowerPoint.

What Makes This Different

Every speaker has built a career you can follow.

Practice + Training Program

Every presenter has built a successful practice AND a training program around their modality. You don't just learn — you see a viable career path.

ND-Friendly and Experiential

No lecture-only presentations. Every session is designed to be experienced in your body, not just your mind. Built with neurodivergent therapists in mind.

Same Case Study, Many Approaches

See how different clinicians would treat the same case using their unique modality. A true side-by-side comparison you can't get anywhere else.
