Course description

The course involves plenty of practice time tapping both as a group and on other course participants.

During the demonstrations and the practice sessions we will be working with real issues from the class. We ask that participants come willing to work on some of their own (less major) issues during this training.

This course is suitable for people who are new to this approach to working with physical and emotional problems and are interested in using EFT for self-help purposes. It is also suitable for people who are thinking of moving into energy work or those who are already qualified in other therapy modalities and are looking for more tools for their therapeutic tool-kit. This Level 1 training course will give you enough practice time to begin to use it to work on your own issues or those of other people where appropriate. The course includes a training manual with detailed notes.

Training is done in a relaxed environment in small groups. Each student is given as much support and one to one attention as they require at each stage. Full email and telephone support will be available to students at all levels of training and experience. Students are never left feeling isolated and alone after training.

Fee for the two day course: $360. Includes morning and afternoon tea and attendance certificate. Please bring your own lunch.

Course description

This four day, in-depth training course is designed to advance understanding and practical skills in EFT to a significantly higher level, including how to begin utilising them to help others effectively in a professional capacity.

A third of this course is practical where attendees practice their new skills on each other in supervised conditions. We ask that participants come willing to work on some of their own issues during this training.

Practitioners develop an understanding of, and the skills to identify, the emotional and event-level drivers which underpin their client’s presenting issues and are able to effectively treat both simple and complex cases appropriately and effectively. The core issues behind anyone’s problems are rarely simple, and real skill and artistry are often necessary to allow them to surface so that they can be expressed and addressed.

Training is done in a relaxed environment in small groups. Each student is given as much support and one to one attention as they require at each stage. Full email and telephone support will be available to students at all levels of training and experience. Students are never left feeling isolated and alone after training.

The Level 2 Training Days include all of the theoretical and demonstration aspects of the training plus plenty of supervised practice time in groups and one to one with other students. Students wishing to sit the EFT International exam and become certified practitioners will gain all of the necessary skills and information from this course.

Entry requirements for EFT Level 2 Training:

The prerequisite for taking a Level 2 workshop is satisfactory completion of a recognised Level 1 workshop. This means that each participant must have completed a recognised Level 1 workshop OR, in my opinion, have sufficient EFT knowledge and experience to allow waiving the Level 1 requirement. This waiver is done on an individual basis and is granted only in cases where the participant’s understanding of the Level 1 principles can be clearly demonstrated. If you are in doubt about your level of understanding please contact me to discuss.

An important note to those thinking of signing up for training, in relation to the Covid situation, both now and what it may possibly be in the future.

Firstly, I don’t discriminate at all on anything. I don’t discriminate on race, skin colour, religion or sexuality, and I don’t discriminate on vaccination status.  I will not be asking students their vaccination status, because everyone is welcome and accepted.

There is therefore a possibility that you will be in training with one or more people who are unvaccinated.  If this bothers you please don’t sign up for the training.  If the Covid situation changes (i.e. it could be more widespread in the community by next year) and you no longer feel comfortable, no refund will be offered (unless I cancel the course) as I’m advising you of the situation now.  You may therefore need to think ahead as to how you may feel if the virus is more widespread.

I further advise that social distancing may be challenging due to the nature of the course.  A large part of the course is practical where, due to the emotional nature of our work, we may need to be closer than 2 metres.  There will be times when mask wearing is challenging as we need to learn to read other people’s emotions from their faces.  Because of this mask wearing may need to be optional.  Please check in with yourself as to whether this either does, or may in the future bother you.

We will of course stick to government laws around this.  Often, depending on numbers, the training is run in my home.  My home is not a business – it is my home, so government rules around businesses may not apply.  This is just to give you an opportunity to know the situation you may find yourself in.  That situation being that you will be welcomed, accepted and treated with respect and love, no matter what your personal choices are.   Your possible choice not to attend will also be received with acceptance and respect for your choice.

What I can help you with


Plus but not limited to: stress, relationship issues, panic attacks, PTSD, trauma, weight loss, eating disorders, OCD, anger, guilt, resentment, grief.
