Testimonial from graduate of this course who then launched her own "Bootcamp" group.

Just reaching out to thank you for creating this IBC curriculum, sharing it with me, and for making time for a support call last week. My class participants loved it and I watched them grow in clarity, self-trust and self-connection right before my eyes during the powerpoint/discussion. This material really is magical and it was powerful to witness from the teacher's chair. You are awesome and you are changing the lives of women you don't have direct access to!

What Other Helping Professionals said about this course...

Reviews from Bootcamp Training graduates

 -       I’m glad I was able to participate in the class. 

-       I liked the idea of “apprenticing” before doing our own group.

-       I was soooo happy that I took this bootcamp, and particularly appreciated that it was with other helping professionals.

-       I really appreciated your respect of time boundaries, clarity on where we were heading each class, and holding space for each woman while also ensuring materials were taught.

-       I liked the asking for supports or help at the end of each class. Even if we were not super active as a cohort, I felt it was such a great exercise and also a way for us to hold each other in thought between each class.

-       The Healthy vs. Toxic relationships handout was awesome.

-       I liked that the format for each group remained the same.  I liked the check-ins and the PowerPoint presentation and the discussion/Q&A time. Basically, I liked it all!  

-       The PEP and the grief handout give me much material for my growth exploration. As well, I would like to be part of sharing this course with others.  

-       I really appreciated your diagrams and how you broke everything down to make it easy to understand and visualize.

-       Learning experientially (100% love that you shifted to this training model).

-       Starting with a grounding exercise to transition from a busy morning, connect to myself, and set my intention for how I wanted to show up with the group

-       How you defined left brain experiences with right brain lists and definitions (really helped me in educating clients on these topics).

-       Someone asking for support each week, encouraging out of group contact/leveling up.

-       That YOU were safe as a facilitator (ie. allowing space for "reaction" feedback and just naming it as such, acknowledging "messy" intimacy to relieve the pressure group participants feel of "how do I look", "what will people think" etc. -- I think this facilitator-stance will be very important for traumatized, sensitive, defended participants who dysregulate more than our cohort did).

-        I loved being in Bootcamp and would love to do it again to be honest. I appreciate your skills and abilities.  You are a humble leader and teacher.  I look forward to getting the materials to facilitate my own book camp.

What Women's Bootcamp graduate clients say about their experience

These are comments from clients who have taken the 8-week Bootcamp for Women

“I loved the whole thing!! I appreciated all of it and learned so much about intimacy and myself. It was so worth it!! From the feelings check, to the meditation, to the lecture, to how everything built from what we had learned the week before, to the Slack app, to sharing a concern we wanted feedback on--it was all beautiful. The whole experience was beneficial.”


“I loved everything about the group. The thing I most enjoyed was the psychoeducation portion. That was super helpful.”


“I really enjoyed the different grounding techniques at the beginning of each class. I found them to be useful, different then what I am used to, and appropriate. All classes were well thought out, well researched, and in an easily understood format. I was impressed with the encouragement and support among group members.”

“I loved the whole way you outlined the program and the information that you provided.  I learned some things, I was reminded of some things, and I felt it was a worthy investment of my time and money.  It is interesting to see all of us who struggle with intimacy be in a group together. It really showed me the lack of intimacy from myself and others.”


“ It was very eye opening to see the depth of intimacy and how it can extend into many facets of my life, beyond sexual contact. I enjoyed every part of the class and really enjoyed having homework to marinate on between classes. I have really tried to think of something that you could improve on, but I earnestly believe that everything was great. Thank you especially for making the class materials available so that I can refer back to them as I continue my recovery journey.”
