HEALING FROM BIRTH TRAUMA: Moving from Pain to Peace with EFT
(available on-demand; CEUs available)
I've always been a bit of a visionary. I first began working with birthing women and families in 1987, and my mentor at that time encouraged me to hone my intuition and to keep an open mind. Since then, curiosity and a fierce drive to serve my clients to the utmost of my ability has kept me continuously learning and "field testing" all kinds of new modalities and techniques.
With that experience comes the ability to accurately gauge which tools are the most useful and effective. EFT and similar energy modalities are at the very top of my list.
Across the board and regardless of the issue at hand, EFT is more effective than anything else I've ever used. It often works when nothing else does. EFT can sometimes provide results incredibly quickly too. Plus, it's quick and easy to learn, and a joy to teach.
EFT is also elegantly simple-- it only requires my hands and heart, so I can take it with me wherever I go. I take great delight in presenting this helpful technique to others, so that they can be empowered to heal and resolve their traumas, old issues, and negative ways of thinking. The keys to healing are right at your fingertips.

Be patient towards all that is unresolved in your heart
And try to love the questions themselves.
