About Therapy & Holistic Healing Intensives
Available in Saint Louis, MO and online in MO and IL
Experience rapid transformation in days instead of weeks, months, or years. There's a reason why intensives are at the cutting-edge of the psychology field.
What Are Intensives?
Intensives offer accelerated and deeply transformational experiences in a short amount of time. They are focused and targeted on specific problems, goals, and outcomes. Instead of coming to sessions week after week for months or years to continue working on the same things, you can get much more done quickly.
In an intensive, you will designate a 3-hour (or more) block of time just for your wellness so that you can go deeper and reap optimal benefits.
Therapy Intensives with Emma
I offer a unique intensive experience. As a holistic, alternative, and transpersonal therapist and holistic healer, I can offer a blend of Shamanic Counseling, Spiritual Counseling Depth Hypnosis, Integrated Energy Medicine, Meditation, and Suggestion Hypnosis.
You can expect to work on subconscious levels to spark change from the root.
What's Special About Intensives
Intensives offer a dedicated, uninterrupted space just for you where you will be able to focus on the things you really want to change in your life. Instead of the frustrating stop-and-start nature of regular therapy or holistic healing, where you often have to end the session right as you are “getting somewhere” only to lose the thread by the time the next session rolls around, you will be able to address several interrelated issues on the same day.
While regularly scheduled sessions are great for people who want support with “things that come up” in the course of life, who prefer talk therapy, or whose nervous systems prefer small bits at a time, the reality is that most people seeking out therapy or holistic healing have specific goals and objectives that they want to address. Who wouldn’t want to address these things in one day rather than over several months?
Intensives save you both time and money. While they are a larger up-front investment, you get way more transformation per hour in an intensive session than you would in regular sessions because we don’t have to eat up your precious time with small talk, checking in on how you're feeling this week, deciding what to focus on, and then wrapping up to send you out the door. With intensives, we can cut to the chase and do lots of deep work in a day.
Imagine trying to wash a sink full of dishes. The dishes are bothering you, and you want to get them done so you can move on and enjoy your day. But imagine if you could only wash one dish at a time. Every time you go to wash a dish, you have to remember to do it, walk over to the sink, get out the soap and sponge, make sure the water is the right temperature, wash it, wash the soap off of your hands, turn off the sink, dry the dish, and dry your hands. Only a while later, you repeat the process. How much cumulative time do you think this would take? Intensives are like doing all of the dishes at once. Quick, efficient, and effective. Regular sessions often only allow for washing one dish at a time. If you want to save time, energy, and money, intensives are a perfect fit.
Who Intensives Are Good For
-
People who have specific goals and know exactly what they want from sessions
-
People who want to address long-standing and deeply-held patterns that would otherwise take multiple sessions to unwind
-
Anyone who wants to make their healing experience a sacred one, where they carve out a specific day just for the experience
-
People who struggle to focus, and who spend the majority of their sessions “settling in” and deciding what they want to focus on, only for the session to be over
-
Anyone who has been frustrated by the unnatural start-and-stop nature of weekly therapy
-
Those who live out of town and want the experience of coming in-person
-
Busy parents, entrepreneurs, full-time workers, teachers, or anyone who struggles to set regular time aside during the week for hour-long sessions
-
Anyone with constantly changing schedules or variable work hours that make it difficult to commit to regular session times
-
Those who only have availability on the weekends or in the evenings
Who Regular Sessions Would Be Better For
-
Those who would prefer to have support week-to-week
-
People who don't have specific goals, who would rather use sessions for "whatever comes up" in their lives
-
People who feel like regular therapy or holistic healing sessions are "more than enough" for their brains and nervous systems, and who would feel dysregulated by an extended timeframe
-
Anyone who cannot carve out an extended period of time for an intensive
-
People who prefer to have a week or more to integrate one thing at a time before doing something new
-
Anyone who prefers the accountability and consistency of regularly scheduled sessions over time

After working with Emma, I feel I don’t ‘have to’ anymore, but can live, love and work from my place of flow. I know my inner world and its parts way better and I’m able to heal myself, check-in with myself, give myself what I need, and the best part: I can be there for others in a way that is more loving and healthier for myself.”
