Dr. Sprowls was an amazing trainer for EMDR. Her instruction was clear, and she utilized examples that really aided in my understanding of the content.

Loved Dr. Christie! She made the information fun, relatable, and applicable. It was easy to learn from her and she made it so that it wasn't intimidating to try the method, ask questions when needed, and not be afraid to work through the chinks of trying something new. I am so grateful for this experience, especially as a professional newly entering the field and starting with this modality from the beginning.

Dr Sprowls was such a joy to learn from. She is clearly such a master at what she does and she maintains a humility that is really beautiful. She is a true inspiration (in so many ways) and I feel so lucky to have gotten to learn from her!
