In this part of the world, we are still in the throes of summer. Typically, it is a time when we go on holiday, spend more time outdoors, and with the brighter evenings, it gives us a feeling of more possibility, more things to do – and maybe time to have fun! It got me […]

EFT For Sport and Performance
Of the many applications of EFT or tapping through life, sports and performance can often get overlooked. In the northern hemisphere, as I write, Wimbledon has just finished, the World Cup is reaching its crescendo, FI, cricket and golf tournaments abound and the Commonwealth Games are about to begin. Meanwhile in the southern hemisphere a […]
Read MoreApplying EFT to Grief and Loss
We’ve always been told to use EFT on everything, but could that really be true for something like grief? A couple of years ago, this was really put to the test for me where I had 3 significant deaths in a very short space of time. But where to start? Applying EFT to grief and […]
Read MoreEFT For Nailbiting
For as long as I can remember I have bitten my nails, including my toe nails when my bones were softer! It became a huge bone of contention between me and my mother, her mother and my eccentric great aunts. From an early age I was fed a constant negative narrative about the woes of […]
Read MoreIntroducing EFT To The Classroom
What if emotional regulation became a normal part of a school day, just like reading or maths? In the Netherlands, Danielle Schreurs and Simone van Wissen developed ‘Alles Klopt’ — an EFT-based approach designed for primary schools. The name means “everything is okay,” and at the same time refers to “tapping”. Introducing EFT to the Classroom […]
Read MoreWhy Using Your Client’s, Or Your Own Words, Makes A Difference
One of the mainstays of Emotional Freedom Techniques is the use of your own words when tapping alone or with a practitioner. Simply jumping in and starting to tap using a script, no matter how good, can often get a result, but it just won’t go deep enough. This can often leave someone feeling like […]
Read MoreIs EFT A Crutch?
I was recently having a chat with some EFT colleagues and one of them mentioned that a well-known performer spoke on tv about tapping and how he used it as a crutch before every performance, due to his anxiety. But is EFT just a crutch? A crutch implies that we are dependent on something and […]
Read MoreApplying EFT For Anxious Moments
At this time of year we are all encouraged to make resolutions or set goals for the months to come. My own resolution starts and ends with using tapping more often, and intentionally picking up on times when I could have applied EFT, but carried on regardless. I’m doing my best to be more aware of […]
Read MoreHoliday Time. It’s Complicated!
As the year draws to a close, in many traditions this means that we are going into Holiday Season and New Year celebrations. For some, this time of year is a cause for great jubilation, and for others, it can be complicated, or indeed a difficult time. People can feel pressure to have this picture-perfect […]
Read MoreHow EFT Helped Me Navigate Chronic Pain
If you live with chronic pain, you’ve probably tried many things, and maybe you’re still searching for what truly helps. That was me too, before I discovered EFT Tapping. I lived with pain for eight years, and I’ll be honest, I was very sceptical at first. About fifteen years ago, we weren’t talking about the […]
Read MoreBuilding Resilience
Throughout our formative years we process events to the best of our ability, according to the information and the resources we have available to us, at that particular moment. As we grow up we learn to respond to events based on what has worked well for us previously, and sometimes on what hasn’t worked so […]
Read MoreSurrogate Tapping With My Daughter
If I could have a superpower, it would be the ability to help someone I love through their most difficult moment, to remind them of their inner strength. Since discovering EFT Tapping, I have realised we already have that gift within us, and Surrogate Tapping has shown me how powerful it can be. I often […]
Read MoreIs Self-Care Selfish?
The theme for this month’s newsletter comes from a previous edition where I spoke about how when things are in chaos around us, peace starts within ourselves. And this then posed the question, is it selfish to care for my own wellbeing when I see so much harm around me? Is self-care selfish? People can […]
Read MoreWhen We Say You Can Use EFT for Everything……Even the Heat Counts
I’ve often heard people say, “You can use EFT Tapping for everything’’, and, over time, I’ve come to see how true that is: because everything is connected to how we feel about what’s happening. Take this year, for example. In the Northern Hemisphere, we’ve been dealing with relentless heatwaves. And it’s not just about high temperatures. The heat changes […]
