About EFT

Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT is based on the Chinese meridian system and uses a specific pattern of acupressure tapping points along with spoken phrases which we decide on together during the session. To get a picture of the meridian system, think of it like an electrical network. Imagine your body is a house with electrical wiring. If there’s a short in one of the wires going to the kitchen, you can’t turn on the lights, the fridge goes off, or the microwave won’t work. You have to restore the connection before your appliances function properly again.

The meridians are like those electrical wires, flowing energy through your body. If your energy is blocked or “zapped” by a stress, you could end up with a physical or emotional problem.  EFT often works to clear the stress or trauma and restore the energy flow, allowing the problem to dissipate.

EFT has been used successfully by thousands of people all over the world to address physical and emotional symptoms of varying severity. It is one of the leading stress-reduction techniques currently available. While EFT is still considered an experimental protocol, the beauty of this process is that you, the client, can learn to apply it to yourself, and receive all the benefits whenever you need them.

Vietnam war veterans were some of the first people to experience EFT when it was developed by Gary Craig in the 1990’s. This new form of energy therapy finally allowed the vets to release their post-traumatic stress syndrome after decades of depression, insomnia, and horrifying memories. Craig went on to help sufferers from phobias erase fears of snakes, heights, and riding in automobiles and elevators. These successes led to using EFT on migraines, chronic conditions, addictions, emotional eating and food cravings, as well as personal limitations such as fear of public speaking and success blocks.

• is a technique you can learn to do yourself, so you can use it whenever you need it!

What can I expect in a private session? In private sessions, you work one-on-one with either Karen or Kathy. You learn the EFT procedure, we discuss the issue or stresses that most concern you, and we address them together. You take away suggestions for follow-up at home. Sounds simple, right? Technically, it is, but it’s not always easy. That’s because the challenge is getting to the bottom of what’s triggering the problem. The process demands emotional honesty from you, while we provide deep listening in an environment of safety and confidentiality.

This process can result in permanent improvements to chronic conditions including bowel and digestive problems,  habitual behaviors such as emotional eating, fear-related issues including fear of public speaking, and problems that have not responded well to other methods.

“My EFT session with Karen today revealed an emotional block I could not have seen if it were not for Karen’s gentle and focused approach to a delicate subject. Her intuitive questions guided me to a very deep place and released a prosperity block I didn’t even know was there. I am feeling amazingly energetic and creative. I would highly recommend Karen’s services and program to anyone wanting to live their dreams! I’m quite sure you will re-discover your creative genius just like I did.”
