Holistic Therapy & EFT

 Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping. This amazing tool is often described as 'acupuncture without needles'. EFT combines the cognitive benefits of therapy with the physical benefits of acupressure to release trapped pain & trauma, restoring your energy and freeing your emotions. It has amazing impact on releasing negative emotions and trauma, which then directly impact the body’s physical and emotional responses.

It’s great for anxiety, when we tap on key meridian points on the hands, face and upper body, we send signals back to the brain to tell the body it's ok to relax. You’ve heard of the fight, flight, freeze response?  Tapping is my no.1 tool for reducing the release of stress hormones (cortisol & adrenaline) almost instantly.

 There’s no need to do anything extra special prior to your session. Often, clients know exactly what they want to work on, but it’s also ok to arrive with a blank canvas and we can see what comes up as we start to practice EFT. 

Our one-hour session will begin with me filling out a brief health questionnaire with you and we can take a look at any issues you’d like to focus on. I’ll also explain a bit more about what EFT is, and how it works. Once we begin tapping I will tap on myself and you can mirror me. 

Towards the end of the session I’ll give you some self-tapping tips to take away, so that you can confidently use this amazing technique for yourself at home.

The goal of EFT is to balance disturbances in your energy field. More than 5,000 years ago the Chinese recognized a series of energy circuits that run through the body. They called these circuits meridians, and today this concept is the basis for acupuncture and acupressure healing.

When you tap on specific energy meridians found on your face, head, hands and chest, you can release old fears, limiting beliefs, negative patterns and even physical pain. Whilst tapping we talk out loud about the issue you are working to heal/ harmonise. Allowing yourself to emote while simultaneously tapping on the energy points sends a signal to the brain that it’s safe to relax. Our fear response, which is controlled by the amygdala, is lessened. 

Anxiety, addiction, trauma, PTSD, infertility, eating disorders, stress, confidence issues, physical pain. It can also help clients to cope with the symptoms and side effects of living with a chronic illness. 

Clients report that they feel lighter and less troubled by the issues they were initially presenting with. Solutions to problems can appear like pops of intuition coming out of nowhere. Pain & anxiety can be greatly reduced. Happiness and healthy values can be enhanced. EFT basically works to remove the blocks that are holding us back from living our best lives. 

When we are group tapping, or working on day to day issues, EFT can help us to feel instantly better. Some of my ten-minute videos can bring almost instant relief from a variety of topics.

However, as with seeing a therapist or joining the gym, we cannot expect to be instantly fit and healed after just one session. When working with deep trauma, anxiety or other complex issues, you should expect to be having 3-6 sessions. I always recommend that we have one session together first, to establish that we have a good rapport. I then recommend that you take one of my treatment plans and we make a commitment to seeing each other for a period of time. I find that 3-6 sessions is usually enough to get to the heart of the matter and evoke measurable improvements. This is a just a guideline, I’ll be able to advise you further in a personal consultation.
