About EFT / Tapping
Welcome to the world of EFT. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique, but it is often referred to as ‘Tapping’ because you use your fingertips to gently “tap” on different parts of your body. I was so impressed by the benefits of tapping that I decided to train as a practitioner so that I could help other people. The therapeutic effects of this technique are recognized around the world. Over 100 papers published in peer-reviewed medical and psychology journals, including dozens of clinical trials, have demonstrated Tapping’s effectiveness for a variety of issues.
As the world moves forward from COVID 19, I want to spread the word that EFT can help people recover from the trauma the pandemic caused. With EFT there is no need for expensive equipment, tapping is available to everyone.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) works by lowering the stress hormone cortisol, switching off physiological reactions. This enhances relaxation, and increases our sense of wellbeing.
Reduces anxiety Studies have found significant reductions in anxiety in a variety of populations (hospital patients, veterans and students) following EFT treatments. In another study, university students reported less test anxiety after practicing EFT on their own and were able to transfer their self-help skills to other stressful areas of their lives.
