Creating Safety and Stability is our first priority. Nothing can change without this.

One of the most helpful tools I have discovered is F.A.S.T./T.T.T. (First Aid for Stress & Trauma, an expanded version of Trauma Tapping Technique). F.A.S.T. techniques combine Tapping, Havening and other types of self-regulation exercises that work quickly with lasting effects. I will be offering trainings in the spring of 2025.

Energy Medicine (EM) works with our subtle energy fields to re-balance energetic blockages, bringing the body's systems back to homeostasis. Many of us have experienced various versions of Energy Medicine. Seemingly diverse practices such as hands on healing, Reiki, acupuncture, acupressure, tai chi and yoga are all energy medicine. We add a number of energy medicine tools to our sessions as needed to bring grounding and balance to these electromagnetic vehicles we call our bodies.

I have been a life-long student of many of these healing modalities, including Havening Techniques, Reiki and Eden Energy Medicine.

Energy Psychology (EP) focuses on the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, sensations, and behaviors, and helping us process distressing events and patterns that hold us back in life. Learn more. Using Energy Psychology techniques can increase our capacity for self regulation, stress reduction and experiencing life through joy rather than limitation. EP and EM work together to improve our Quality of Life!

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as Tapping, is the primary Energy Psychology tool that is most researched and understood. Over 300 peer-reviewed, scientific studies show how it can provide quick, safe and effective relief for anxiety, overwhelm, depression, trauma, addictions, chronic health issues, pain, athletic performance and challenges around money, relationships or career, and much  more! We can tap on anything!

Conscious EFT™ builds on what we have learned through research and experience over the last decades. The approach integrates the wisdom of EFT, polyvagal theory and neuroscience into a trauma-informed and phased approach that meets the client where they are today. It is a a fully developed transformational therapy/coaching framework integrating the EFT energy psychology modality within a trauma safe, systems informed, and neuroscience package. It helps clients grow and make sustainable change that makes sense for their lives today.

I use Conscious EFT™ on a continuum. I first invite clients to use tapping without words to manage symptoms of upset providing emotional first aid. I also invite them to tap even when they don't have anything distress. This  has been shown to 'tone' the nervous system and make us less vulnerable to the inevitable ups and downs of daily life. These practices, when used regularly create a more grounded state where we have the capacity to address and change challenging and unwanted memories and behaviour patterns that limit the possibilities in our lives.

Havening Techniques® is also a highly researched, evidence-based Energy Psychology practice that literally means "to put in a safe place'. Like it's close cousin, EFT, Havening Techniques are based in neuroscience and evolutionary biology are helpful for disturbing memories and limiting behaviour patterns.

We use cutting-edge and evidence-based tools to create powerful change.
