About EFT
EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique.

Key benefits of EFT

What is EFT?
The easiest way to explain EFT is to say that it is a kind of acupressure for the emotions. EFT utilizes the meridians, which are channels of energy running throughout the body, and certain points on those meridians. Unlike acupuncture which uses needles to stimulate these points, or acupressure which applies pressure to the points, EFT stimulates the points by tapping on them with your finger tip.

The entire procedure is accomplished in a minute or less and can be administered on yourself and with others. Although it isn't perfect, EFT typically enjoys a success rate of over 85%. Tapping into the power of EFT you can shift yourself from feelings of anxiety, powerlessness, anger, frustration, overwhelm and stress… to hope, optimism, happiness, confidence and gratitude.

Where did EFT come from?
Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT is a relatively new discovery based on ancient healing principles over 5,000 years ago, from the ancient Chinese Shoalin and Taoist monasteries.

The Eastern healing arts of acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu massage and reflexology, amongst others, were derived from the energy maps established by these early healers.
The EFT process also draws important influence, especially for deep emotional and psychological issues, from the many people who have contributed over the ages to the understanding of human psychology.

More recently, this amazing therapy owes much to the work of Dr George Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology, and Dr Roger Callahan the founder of TFT Thought Field Therapy.

It was in the early '90s that one of Dr Callahan's former students, the charismatic Gary Craig simplified TFT and made the process universally applicable for all. After stimulating the body's well established energy meridian points by tapping on them with ones fingertips, mental, emotional and physical issues successfully clear away emotional debris in the form of blocks in the energy meridians. Thus EFT was born.

EFT now
Gary Craig now dedicates himself to spreading the word by making EFT accessible to everyone through his seminars and teaching videos. Gary Craig's website is a huge source of information about EFT.

Good emotional and physical health is in our hands.
In the words of Gary Craig -

"Eft is the missing piece in the healing puzzle"

Who is it for and how often?

Anyone can benefit from EFT.
If someone is unable to attend the clinic, EFT can be done over the phone.
Sessions are an hour long. Sometimes a single session is enough to deal with an issue, but for many clients and conditions, a run of 4 or 5 sessions is extremely beneficial. Weight loss, addictions or other deeply held conditions will need a series of treatments.

What can EFT be used for?

Testimonials and Case Studies
Individual sessions

Moving forward in career
Client A had been sexually abused as a child by her father, leading to a deep distrust not only of men but of her own ability to be heard in life. As a consequence, although she longed for a career in music, her voice would dry up at auditions and she consistently failed despite her best attempts. After using EFT to clear her emotional need to stay silent, she went on to succeed in what she loved best.
"Claire steered me through what I thought would be a painful process with clarity and a lightness of touch. I am deeply grateful and continue to tap for myself in everyday life". CB

Eating issues resolved
Client B had always felt she had to struggle for love coming from a big family and that she had to stuff herself with food in case it ran out and there was none left for her. After EFT, she was able to nourish herself with food out of love not desperation and consequently lost the weight she had dragged around for 30 years.
"I am thrilled that I am finally in the body that reflects the true 'me'. After only one session with Claire, I was able to clear an issue that I didn't even know I had. Up till then I always blamed my inability to lose weight on my lack of discipline, putting myself down still further. EFT is a simple, elegant tool and Claire uses it with deftness and love. Her insight and skill enabled me to surmount what had previously been a huge block for me. Thank you." RM.

Freedom from guilt
Client C had a conflict between looking after his family financially and giving time to his child with a serious disability. EFT helped him steer his path through a complex set of circumstances without guilt or anger.
"The outer circumstances have not altered, but changing my inner attitude has made all the difference. Thanks to EFT and Claire, I have freed myself up to be able to enjoy the time I have both at work and at home, without feeling constantly guilty. Of course, I have become a more relaxed person to live with too! Claire taught me how to do EFT for myself, so I can deal with everyday issues as they come up and go for sessions to deal with the bigger stuff. I love it!" RD

Groups
Get Your Eating in Control
"I felt 100% confident in your ability within this technique and very safe that you knew what you were doing, especially with your Shiatsu background. I wanted food to stop being "an issue" and by the end of the course I had spent a whole week without obsessing about it at all. Wonderful. Thank you!" JR

"I thought you were a fabulous facilitator who showed a lot of compassion. Warmth and humour" JS

"You listened deeply and reflected back accurately. Your own passion about the work helped to keep me motivated. Even though the subject (relationship with food) can be really painful, Claire brought a sense of lightness to the classes, and worked at a deep level." AS

" I can now fit into my (late) dad's kilt, which is really important to me, as I am now the head of the household" TR (adult with special needs)

"EFT works!" JS
"EFT works!" JR
