Where did EFT come from?
EFT has its roots in ancient Chinese medicine and has been developed by EFT pioneer Gary Craig in the late 1990’s. Visit Gary's website www.emofree.com for more information.
What is EFT?
EFT – is simply put, a mind-body therapy that stimulates traditional acupressure points by tapping with the fingertips, whilst repeating carefully chosen words and phrases.
As EFT incorporates an emotional element into the healing process, it addresses unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease, psychological dysfunction, and personal performance limits.
EFT can be used on just about any condition either physical or emotional. Usually with impressively rapid results, whilst being painless, drug free and totally safe.
Do you have to believe in EFT for it to work?
Absolutely not. EFT works whether you believe in it or not. Try it for yourself and see, I offer a no results no fee agreement for the first session - if during the first session, you feel that absolutely nothing is happening then we will stop you and you will owe me nothing.
What can be treated using EFT?

Are there any side-effects?
EFT is very gentle and rarely has any side effects. People often feel energised and empowered after an EFT session. The only other side effects are good ones, where treating one problem will cause another problem to heal, spontaneously.
Who is it suitable for?
EFT is suitable for all ages including babies. We can also get great results for the emotional issues of our pets.
How long do the results last?
EFT is almost always long lasting. Physical healings are often impressive and enduring as well but are more likely to re-emerge than emotional issues.
Will I become reckless after EFT?
No, EFT won’t remove 'normal caution', common sense will prevail.
How quickly does EFT work?
You could ask - how long is a piece of string? There can be no simple answer because every problem is different, and every person is different.
Just because an issue is longstanding doesn’t mean to say it will take ages to shift. Usually a person with even the most deeply seated problems to start seeing real benefits within (at worst) a few weeks, and some people (at best) within a few minutes. But ultimately these techniques will rid us of the excess emotional baggage so that we are free to get on with our lives and realise the full range of our potential and emotional freedom.
What about medical problems?
EFT is considered a Complementary Therapy in the UK and should not replace seeking qualified medical advice.
"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." – Gary Craig
Just think - if life is a journey, what ‘luggage’ are we carrying that is stopping us from enjoying the ride and slowing us down? Our fears, stresses, anger, depression, allergies, physical pain or weight/body image issues?
Using EFT we can become free of the issues and life can become easier and more enjoyable.
"EFT often works when nothing else will" - Gary Craig
