EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques, commonly referred to as Tapping, has gained rapid popularity because it has been demonstrated to quickly and effectively resolve negative, hidden or overt, emotions and calm stress. Doing so, EFT may bring great improvements in many aspects of your life, including your health, career and relationships. This powerful mind-body approach is supported by peer-reviewed research, and is considered an evidence-based technique.

The EFT Tapping work that I practice helps to clear blocks in the body's energy meridians created by unresolved emotional issues. It is important that you understand that I do not have medical training and cannot diagnose or prescribe treatment. If you have a physical injury, disease condition, or a diagnosed mental health concern I ask that you be in the care of a licensed medical professional.Also, regardless of the outcomes you may experience with EFT it is advisable continue taking any medications you are on, unless changed by your doctor. If you have pain that has been unresolved for some time, I strongly advise you consult your physician to make sure there is no underlying health concern. EFT is designed to affect physical sensations arising from un- resolved emotions, not a treatment for for medical conditions.

EFT has been in development and use for well over thirty years. It has been shown to be very safe as well as effective, easy to learn and implement. The American Psychological Association says of Energy Therapies that they are 'experimental, and probably efficacious' Therefore, it is essential you take responsibility for understanding the process and take responsibility for your own health and safety. 

I have been trained and certified in the delivery of EFT. I take my ethical responsibilities very seriously. We are entering into an agreement for working together and we each bear responsibilities in this relationship. I'll outline what I think is important for us to agree on.

My foremost responsibility to you is to keep you safe. Sometimes difficult and strong emotions may come up. I've been trained on how to keep those feelings from overwhelming you, and moving them through and out of you as quickly and easily as possible. There may be tears, but there will be a lot of laughter as well. While we now know that trauma is best resolved in the body, we strive do so at the lowest level of stress possible.

Anything you say to me is kept in strict confidence. The only exception to this rule is in the event I feel you are in a state of mind that puts you or someone else's life in jeopardy, OR you relate to me that you or someone else is being abused. Then Legal reporting requirements kick in. The most likely first contact for me would be your emergency contact, so choose that person with this in mind. If you need to know more about this please ask.

You're responsibility to me in sessions is to keep tapping!
Otherwise here is what we promise each other:
• to show up on time
• commit to the process
• be honest
• do our best
