Everyone who comes to an experience of EFT does so in their own way and time. For me, it feels as if I’m making peace with my place in the world — thanks to the emotional transformations I’ve experienced through my EFT practice. EFT and Inner Theater continue to be my strategies for moving through personal challenges, attracting fulfilling abundance and living life as authentically as I possibly can. They help me get back on the horse when I fall, keep me stretching comfortably, and give me the ease and confidence to approach all of my goals more effortlessly.
I look forward to helping you learn how to disarm your toughest obstacles and to assist you on your true path to freedom and self-empowerment. It is satisfying for me to help you connect with your higher power and your deeper physical and emotional knowing. By feeling better about whatever you are experiencing now—and by acknowledging and deeply transforming hurts and negative self-talk with these techniques—I believe that anything is possible.
My training and experience includes hundreds of hours of private sessions and group work and more than a year of intensive daily training and supervision with EFT Master Sophia Cayer with whom I was privileged to experience a deep, disciplined and highly intuitive approach to EFT. I also bring more than seven years of experience as a private tutor and learning specialist to my 1-on-1 session work. I teach EFT workshops all over the US, and I’m an active member of Associated Psychotherapists of Vermont (APOV).
How I Came to EFT
In early 2005. I was working as a learning strategies trainer in New York City—traveling from home to home, giving private lessons, tutoring and helping people create technology solutions for themselves. I did well professionally, but I was deeply unhappy. My life was a fog, as if I was just waking from a very bad dream. I was carrying a ton of stress around with me. I felt it in my body as TMJ tormented me daily. I used to wake with headaches, and my wrists always hurt from what I thought was simply working on the computer too much. I seemed constantly sick—always on antibiotics and deeply unsatisfied with my personal relationships.
I learned of EFT almost casually after contacting a hypnotherapist I found online. Before we got around to doing any hypnotherapy, she introduced me to EFT and explained that she had just learned it and wanted to try it on me. I agreed. After only five minutes of tapping, several years of “carpal tunnel” pain literally melted away.
The experience blew me away. EFT eased my physical symptoms as surely as it removed the sting from deeper, more troubling PTSD issues and traumatic memories that slowly—and safely—emerged. Had I actually found a cure for the many terrible feelings I had been carrying around with me for so long? I experienced the clear connection between my feelings and my physical symptoms during this process—and the power to finally do something about it. As I began to slowly and methodically confront the guilt, shame and terrible memories onto which I was holding, I began to understand that I could share this with others. Months of study accompanied this self-exploration. Gradually, I began sharing EFT with friends, family, peers and clients.
My severe “carpal tunnel” symptoms never returned. In those rare times when I do get occasional flashes of soreness, I’ve come to know that it’s usually related to something emotional—like feeling “trapped” or “pressured” into something—and it’s usually work-related! EFT continues to be there for me at all times—allowing me to address and transform challenges when they arise. And those old TMJ symptoms when they do appear serve as a personal emotional barometer reminding me when I’m denying something emotional that needs to be addressed.
I delight in sharing EFT with others, and I’m grateful to nurture a growing practice where I get to provide EFT solutions to people from all walks of life. Athletes, actors, psychologists, entrepreneurs, singers, bank tellers, students—all kinds of people come to me because they feel intuitively that troubling emotional issues or painful physical challenges don’t have to affect them for the rest of their lives. Or they’ve simply “tried everything” and are literally at their wits’ end—just like I was.
