In 2006, I took a class called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) because the tagline was: "It often works where nothing else will". After a bit of trial and error with the technique, I started to get CONSISTENTLY good results. Once I did, I couldn't stop using it. It was so EASY! All I had to do was bring up my negative emotions (they were always present), tap on some acupressure points on my face and body with my fingertips and BANG! my perspective would change and the emotion would drop away like magic. Hallelujah!
I've always been very compassionate and sensitive to other people's pain and suffering. When I was younger, I often wanted to help people feel better but I was drowning in my own personal problems, in self-doubt and I simply didn’t have the necessary knowledge to help. I was too young and hadn’t done the work myself yet; I didn't have the tools I do today.
When I found that EFT really worked for me and I achieved such enormous relief from daily stresses and old negative patterns in an unusually short period of time, I was so excited to share it with others! At the first opportunity, I started teaching the modality that had given me so much relief and I’ve never looked back.
At one point, I was certified by the Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques (AAMET) as a Level II EFT Practictioner and by the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) as a Hypnotist but these original certifications seemed to limit how I worked and taught. I can never have too many tools in my healing toolbox so I've taken many more classes and incorporated elements from a number of other techniques into what I do: life coaching, NLP, Psych-K, Reiki, Havening, The Work of Byron Katie, parts work, shadow work, notions of somatic (body) work, etc.
