EMDR
What is it? Who benefits from it?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is evidence based and has been used and researched for it's effectiveness for over 30 years. It is a form of therapy that involves working with memories, body sensations, core-self beliefs, and emotions to eliminate the emotional, somatic, and cognitive remnants of negative past experiences.

At Purple Thoughts, I specialize in empowering children aged 5-14, parents, and families with essential mindset skills for life. Through the power of storytelling and engaging activities, we foster strong connections and create a supportive environment for growth and learning. I understand the importance of building rapport and connection with our young learners and their families. By weaving captivating stories and interactive activities into our programs, I not only educate but also inspire and connect on a deeper level. These shared experiences help strengthen bonds, enhance communication, and cultivate a sense of trust and understanding within children, family and community.
