Suzanne Olesko

intuitive Reiki

Suzanne Olesko will offer what some consider unconventional Reiki, and though trained in Usui Reiki, she combines Reiki practice with intuition. A 30-minute session will consist of approximately 20-25 minutes of Reiki and 5-10 minutes of discussion about not only what is off balance but why it is off balance.
 
Her sessions also practice Reiki on the floor rather than a table. She believes the closer to the earth we are, the more grounded we can be. Using blankets, pillows, and yoga mats she creates a space that is grounded yet soft. If you are uncomfortable with or unable to lay on the ground, she is more than happy to accommodate any positioning with which you may be comfortable.
 
Eye masks and ear-plugs will be made available if desired.

Julianne Roshan Dow

Julianne will be offering Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) self-care tools in response to your healing needs, both physical and emotional. JSJ is an ancient eastern healing art that uses non-invasive hands-on therapeutic touch to harmonize the life-force energy within the body. It is akin to Chinese acupuncture, and used in Integrative Medicine Departments in hospitals and cancer centers. You can do JSJ for yourself, and for others (animals too). Bring your phone to record the session. Some JSJ will be experienced during the Saturday morning yoga wellness class, as well. Learn more here:   juliannedow.com

What people are saying

"The training was absolutely wonderful; I have to say it is one of the best trainings I have had! I have already been enjoying putting EMDR to work in my community and I have begun to see some of the great benefits of this work. I cannot thank you enough for the truly exceptional training; it has been a life-changing gift for my work in this community. I hope to continue to take future trainings and learn from the great knowledge of Dr. Jamie and the Institute for Creative Mindfulness, I so greatly enjoy learning and connecting with this wise group of people."

"As an anti-racist political activist I move primarily in BIPOC spaces. As a therapist I move primarily in white spaces. This training is a model for other modalities, EFT, IFS, DBT, CBT, ACT, etc., to not only denounce racism but to take action in multiple ways."

"With the EMDR training scholarship discount I was able to help my therapy scholarship clients and even got to support Iranian therapists who are holding so much for their clients these days."

"During my EMDR training, Dr. Jamie and ICM underscored that everyone has an experience somewhere along the dissociative spectrum. Their inclusivity nurtured my plural identity, and I could be myself without fear of judgment, whispers, or laughter. Their profound acceptance and respect made me feel seen, valued, and appreciated as a professional."

"ICM was one of the most well organized and engaging training platforms I have utilized. It allowed me to obtain a basic foundation in EMDR Therapy and bring the modality to a population of clients that otherwise wouldn’t have access to."

"For the first time, I met trainers who teach EMDR Therapy while integrating embodiment, creative techniques, mindfulness meditations, and all on TeleHealth!! I had transforming experiences personally during my own EMDR processing and learned how to utilize the standard EMDR protocol. Now, I am using EMDR Therapy with Sandtray Therapy and reaching new goals in my business!
Thank you Jamie & ICM!"

"Thank you ICM for sharing the remarkable, life-changing gift of EMDR therapy! I can't emphasize enough how my learning through ICM (trainings, Jamie's webinars, videos, etc.), and its incredibly supportive community, has been a complete game changer for me both personally and professionally. Truly grateful, and as we often say in EMDR sessions, I'll "just go with that!"."

"The ability to learn EMDR virtually was truly a transformative process. Through ICM, I have developed needed clinical skills and gained a network of amazing, trauma-informed clinicians that are passionate about providing top-notch care. The combination of mindfulness techniques with the standard EMDR protocol has been a game changer in my practice, providing much needed healing for those in which I serve. Thank you, Dr. Marich and Staff!"

"Dr. Jamie Marich has designed an EMDR training that is nothing shy of AMAZING! As the Founder of the "only" Therapist of Color Collaborative in the State of Colorado, being trained by someone who could help digest what is a very scripted protocol, and make it more culturally relevant was imperative. She did so with ease, patience, AND a bang up team of EMDR Trainers!"

"The Institute for Creative Mindfulness' trainings have been pivotal in my career and my personal healing and growth path. EMDR therapy training has equipped me to be a competent trauma therapist - something that, in my opinion, is an ethical imperative for anyone working in the mental health field. The ICM consultants and practitioner community keeps me growing in my skills and knowledge, as well as supported by a vast and diverse community of professionals."
