Dr. Irene Siegel: EMDRIA Approved Consultant, Lecturer, and Modern Healer

My life has been different than most. For as long as I can remember, I have been meditating and journeying into what indigenous cultures call the non-ordinary reality - walking between the worlds, accessing deeper dimensions of consciousness. This difference became my greatest gift, leading me on a path that would integrate my natural spiritual awareness with western psychology and science.

My journey has taken me from traditional clinical training as a licensed Certified Social Worker to the mountains of Peru and Bolivia, where I studied with master healers and teachers of authentic Incan descent. I have continued to train in ancient healing traditions throughout North and South America for over four decades. For more than 30 years, I have been teaching Awakening Your Light Body, created by Duane Packer and Sanaya Roman and help others access higher ranges of consciousness through meditation.

When I first took the EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocesses) training, I immediately recognized this therapeutic process was fertile ground for the integration of expanded awareness into the EMDR protocol. Clients successfully reprocessed trauma and simultaneously initiated spiritual awakenings. This led me to pursue my doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology, where I conducted groundbreaking research on spiritual resonance within the therapeutic relationship.

The result of that research became my book, The Sacred Path of the Therapist: Modern Healing, Ancient Wisdom, and Client Transformation. In it, I share how therapists can become vibrational containers for healing, utilizing mindfulness, attunement, and resonance to help clients move from trauma recovery to the emergence of their fullest potential within a shared coherent field of awakening consciousness.

As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, Teacher, and Conference Presenter, I now train therapists internationally in this integrative approach. I am breaking through traditional barriers, introducing innovative concepts that expand EMDR therapy from a technique into a transpersonal practice, one that honors the sacred nature of healing.
