    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a gentle, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain heal from trauma and emotional distress. Instead of retelling painful experiences over and over, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help you process and release what’s been stored in the nervous system. Whether you’re healing from past trauma, birth experiences, anxiety, or chronic stress, EMDR offers a powerful path toward relief, resilience, and emotional freedom.
