Our Testimonials
- H.H.
Cynthia and Christine are tremendously skilled and attuned trainers. I feel confident in my ability to take this to my clients right away and would recommend their training to anyone without hesitation. I cannot wait for phase 2!
- A.C.
Brainspotting is exactly what I was looking for to round out my clinical tool box of somatic approaches including EFT Tapping, Polyvagal Theory, Safe and Sound Protocol and Hypnotherapy.
- C.M.
Cynthia and Christine were very knowledgeable and this training was well worth my time and money spent on it. You can begin using the skills taught the next day you return to work. It is invaluable!! Thank you so much.
- D.E.
The Phase 1 training with Cynthia and Christine exceeded my expectations. It was wonderful to be taught by two clinicians who clearly ‘walked the talk’ and modeled the concepts they were teaching. This training has changed the way I work as a therapist.
- K.C.
“Before participating in the Phase 1 training with Cynthia, I was a little skeptical about how effective this therapy could be. After 3 days of intense training with a skilled and compassionate instructor/therapist like Cynthia, I can confidently and emphatically say “I am a believer!”
- A.C.
“Brainspotting is an incredibly powerful yet gentle technique allowing client’s to take control of their therapy experience. I am excited to include it in my trauma resolution toolbox and I was able to start using it the day after training with tremendous results.
- K.S.
The passion, organization and knowledge of all trainers and consultants involved in the training is such an asset.
- T.S.
I came into this class a bit skeptical but I had heard great things about it. As we practiced and watched REAL demos (not “acting”), it really started making sense to me. And the instructors’ passion for BSP was contagious. Once the training was over I felt comfortable enough to immediately begin using BSP with some of my clients.
- N.C.
This training, and Cynthia, in particular, was amazingly helpful, well-structured, and executed to perfection. I highly recommend this training.
- K.C.
My understanding of the science behind it is clear and I’ve acquired the skills necessary to begin using it with my clients immediately after the Phase 1 training. Brainspotting has already done a great deal for me personally and I am confident it will do the same for my clients. This is a game changer.”
- J.M.
This training is highly informative and eye-opening. Cynthia and the team did a phenomenal job in sharing their expertise, demonstrating the use of this profoundly healing technique and preparing us clinicians to bring Brainspotting to our practice.
