What is EFT?

EFT employs the use of  patients tapping their fingers on 10 acupuncture meridian points, while repeating specific statements suggested by the therapist from the information the client provides.

These procedures eliminate negative beliefs and increase physical health and mental well being.

How EFT Works

According to a 2013 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, up to 80% of visits to primary care doctors are related to stress. Clinical trials have shown that EFT removes emotional trauma and accelerates the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Conditions Successfully Treated with EFT

Over 100 clinical trials published in peer reviewed medical and psychology journals clearly demonstrate that EFT is effective for:

• phobias
• anxiety
• depression
• physical and emotional pain
• posttraumatic stress disorders (e.g. PTSD)

Additionally, EFT treatment helps people improve their business, athletic and artistic performances.
