About EFT International™

EFT International members at the 2015 EFT Research Symposium at Staffordshire University, UK

EFT International™ (formerly AAMET International, The Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques) is a UK-registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered charity number 1176538.

We are committed to advancing and upholding the highest standards for education, training, professional development and promotion of the skilful, creative and ethical application of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques or "Tapping") worldwide.

We support the creative and ethical education in, and use of, classical EFT Tapping as originally taught by EFT's developer Gary Craig and included in his recent updates, which he refers to as "Gold Standard EFT." EFT International provides a training framework for EFT Tapping, which is used worldwide by a large network of EFT International Master Trainers (referred to simply as "Trainers").

Students of those Trainers, upon completion of a programme that includes in-person practical as well as academic training, examination and mentoring, are eligible to list on EFT International’s register of Accredited Certified EFT Practitioners and Advanced Practitioners.

Total Active Members of EFT International (March 2022): 1650

EFT International only accepts members with a high standard of training and has a formal feedback, complaints and investigation procedure in place.

Honorary Members

Honorary membership is offered to those who have made significant contributions to the field of EFT or within the EFTi community. Visit our EFT Champions and Honorary Members  Page.

Charitable Status

As of January 2018, EFT International has officially been granted UK charitable status, and we are listed with the Charity Commission as Registered Charity Number 1176538. This means:

  • EFT International™ has been subjected to most rigorous vetting by the Charity Commissioners and are now endorsed as an organisation which is ethically run, has financial probity, and which benefits both its members and the public. EFT International is the only EFT organisation in the world with this status.People trust registered charities. This status, along with the large and growing body of good, sound research into the efficacy of EFT is positively changing perceptions of us.
  • It is an important step on the road to gaining wider recognition for EFT International and for EFT with other professionals and professional organisations.
  • Our clients will be able to have even more confidence in us knowing we belong to an organisation with high training and practice standards, strict regulation, and strong support for practitioners.
  • UK members will be able to gift aid membership fees. This will help us raise further funds for the wonderful work of advancing EFT.
  • EFT International™ now has even more stringent scrutiny. Being a charity means having trustees whose job is to have an oversight of how we operate. These new trustees reflect our International nature. They are John Freedom, Karin Davidson and Craig Weiner from the U.S., Juliet Leroy from France, Denise Welsh from Mexico, and Pippa Gagie from the U.K.
EFT International History and Milestones
The Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques (AAMET) was first established in 1999 by a group of EFT Tapping enthusiasts lead by UK Homeopath and Meridian Therapist Dr Tam Llewellyn-Edwards, who later became one of the 29 EFT Founding Masters (awarded by Gary Craig). A website was set up listing all Energy Therapists. In 2009, upon Tam’s retirement, Helena Fone became Chair. Helena registered AAMET as a Voluntary Organisation in Malta (VO/0400) which gave it legal status, ensuring transparency and accountability.

In 2010, a new website was launched to coincide with a new decade and heralded an exciting new era for AAMET with a new way of working. All members had to renew their membership and agree to abide by rules and regulations. In 2012, the association’s name was changed to AAMET International to reflect worldwide status as an EFT Association.

In 2014, upon Helena’s retirement, Jacqui Footman stepped into the Chair role. She previously had assisted Tam with AAMET web listings (in 2006), served as AAMET Treasurer (since 2009), and volunteered as Vice Chair (in 2013). Shoshana Garfield, who had volunteered for AAMET on Training Board for many years, stepped in as Vice Chair to support Jacqui Footman. Jacqui and Shoshana switched to Co-Chair roles rather than Chair and Vice Chair in March 2019, within a trend of improving working relationships and consensus, non-hierarchical collaboration moving the organisation forward.

Milestones

May 2020 – Our new name, EFT International became fully registered with the UK Charity Commission.

April 2019 – AAMET International is now formally operating as EFT International prior to a full renaming and updated charity registration that will follow. A new logo was introduced.

December 2018 – For the first time in world history a government agency has officially recommended EFT as worthy of government research funds for trauma/PTSD. This was due to the extraordinary collaboration between EFT International, ACEP, EFT Universe and researcher Dr David Feinstein to create the robust and comprehensive stakeholder response (including recent EFT research) that AAMET submitted to NICE via the consultation process in July 2018 for their Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatment guidance review. NICE is the UK government body responsible for determining medical and psychological treatments recommended for use in the UK NHS (National Health Service).

January 2018 – AAMET International is officially granted UK charitable status, and is listed with the Charity Commission as Registered Charity Number 1176538.

May 2017 – AAMET Training Board releases a comprehensive Glossary of EFT Terms, which provides in-depth definitions of the EFT Tapping concepts and skills that form the foundation of AAMET EFT Tapping training. A broad consensus of experienced AAMET International Trainers and Practitioners was gathered over several years to create this definitive guide for all EFT practitioners, educators and students. It is available free for all visitors to eftinternational.org

October 2016 – The new AAMETInternational.org website launches, offering improved navigation and organisation for members and visitors. The site also features an AAMET Free Introductory EFT Manual for newsletter subscribers, searchable Science and Research section, new Find a Practitioner listing and more.

September 2016 – EFTfree.net gifts AAMET their 300+ EFT articles archive, and AAMET begins laying the groundwork for Accredited Certified members to publish and promote their own tapping stories.

July 2015 – AAMET co-sponsors the first-ever EFT Scientific Research Symposium with Staffordshire University, Stoke-on-Trent, UK.
