This therapy, founded by Gary Craig, has its' roots in acupuncture, kinesiology and psychology with the belief system that the cause of all negative thoughts is a disruption in the body's energy system and that unresolved emotional issues subsequently affect our physical health
EFT works on balancing the natural flow of the body's energy system by stimulating the meridian points in the body with gentle tapping movements of the fingertips, whilst verbally talking about the issue that is causing concern. It helps the client focus on the issue, discover the root problem with the aim of clearing it from their system.It can be used safely on children and adults

The Treatment:
The therapist initially carries out a consultation process to determine the problem* to work on and then proceeds with the treatment, which may be repeated several times depending on the client's rating of relief on a scale of 1 - 10 between each session.
It is a relatively short procedure and is usually followed by a relaxation session or Reiki treatment. The client is then shown how to carry out a self treatment to enable them to do this daily at home until the problem is resolved.
* Many problems involve several factors, so each factor needs to be resolved to complete the full process
