Our goal is to offer you quality workshops and training that focus on generating solutions for life challenges. Whether you are an individual seeking to improve your personal quality of life, a first responder, medical professional or involved in any profession or service that focuses on assisting individuals with the challenges created as the result of life experiences, more than likely you will find our offerings worth your while. And if you don't see exactly what you are looking for, know that we also design and offer workshops and trainings to suit the particular needs of specific organizations. The flexibility of the techniques we work with is one of the most exciting aspects of what we teach.
EFT (Emotional Freedom TechniquesTM) We offer training in accordance with the standards established by AAMET (The Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques), a professional international organization established more than nine years ago. You can read more about AAMET by clicking here . Most of our EFT offerings lead to certification through AAMET, by incorporating their required elements. While all our training and workshops equate to an asset in Personal Development, occasionally we offer specific "theme" workshops, such as "Go With The Flow". As an example, "Go With The Flow" focuses on letting go of the "junk in the trunk" and limiting beliefs, how to improve relationships with everyone (including yourself!), allowing you to enjoy life more.
Our Trauma training program is primarily focused on working with trauma, into which EFT is woven. EFT can be an amazingly focused and compassionate tool for working with all types and levels of trauma.
This training program is organized in a graduated format so you can learn the important issues behind trauma while learning how to apply EFT effectively and compassionately.
We weave client concerns and vulnerabilities with a gradually increasing skill level in EFT and related interventions so that participants can grow in their own self confidence
and understanding of this complex issue. Self care for practitioners is a major concern at all levels of training and we offer on-going support and consults for those who are
working with clients in this area.
Part 1
consists of three levels of introductory work with EFT for trauma.
Levels 1 and 2 are a combination of instructional material with both demo and group practice sessions so the foundation is built for
these skills to become second nature in ones practice. Basic principles of the structure of trauma and safety in working with trauma are introduced.
Level 3 focuses on practicum work with additional skills introduced to build on and solidify the fundamentals of Levels 1 and 2. This training focuses
on group and individual practice to fine-tune and enhance skills. A deeper understanding of how trauma affects lives and distorts perception is
brought about through case discussion and demonstration and practice of the interweaving of techniques.
Part 2 Advanced Training Offers in-depth specialty training in trauma, including advanced issues in abuse with
concurrent issues such as addictions, grief, and anger. Part 2 focuses on specifics of ritual abuse, satanic ritual abuse, mind control,
war trauma, natural disaster and accident trauma, and more.
Advanced Levels 1 and 2 are prerequisites for Advanced Levels 3, 4 and 5, but Levels 3, 4 and 5 can be taken in any preference or order. Advanced Levels 1 and 2 Advanced Level 3 Advanced Level 4 Advanced Level 5
These two levels go deeply into detecting and addressing intense emotional states such as types of dissociation, abreaction and cognitive looping.
Videos of real sessions with trauma clients are used to see and understand these states in a safe context. Group dialog and guidance help gain confidence in how
these states develop and how to bring clients out of them with maximum healing benefit. Honing of skills and facility in dancing with the changing states and
layers of trauma are invaluable points in these trainings. Special focus is on practitioners’ ability to stay open and safe in the face of these extreme states,
how to stay connected with clients while buffered from the effects of their experiences. Practitioner self-care is a primary consideration in this training.
We can’t help them if we’re falling apart.
This level offers deeper level work with sexual abuse, ritual abuse, satanic ritual abuse, torture, and mind control.
Advanced Training Levels 1 and 2 are prerequisite. Specific types of abuse, abuse organizational groups, methods abuse and of
silencing victims, self-blame, embedded self-destructive patterns, and the issues faced when clients recognize the extent of the
abuse are explored. Methods of support, ways to stay present, practitioner self-monitoring and self-care, and helping clients find
and develop their own resources are focused upon using EFT and the practitioner’s own presence. The goal is to offer tools to the
practitioner and client to open the doorway to deep resolution of the effects of this type of abuse and the discovery of what can open beyond abuse.
This focuses on war trauma, combat issues, reintegration issues, family issues including secondary trauma to children and spouses.
This training is for practitioners who work with military personnel and their families and includes intense combat trauma and its residual
effects, disenfranchisement from their former cultural connections, anger at treatment by the military, and non-combat trauma including rape
and civilian abuse.
Level 5 deals with natural disaster and accident trauma. Focus is on shock, injury, aftermath of events, how people were or were
not supported following an event, injury to sense of self and loss of a sense of safety in the world. This training is applicable to those who
travel to disaster sites, first responders, and those who work clinically with the after-effects of event trauma.

Trusting and Developing your Intuition:Going with the flow and taking yourself out of the equation so you can 'tune in' to work more effectively
Identifying Core Beliefs: What questions do you ask to gently locate the contributing factors and events? And equally as important, how do you respond to aid in generating more expansive possibilities?
Getting Specific: Learning the necessity of staying with a feeling until the intensity is as low as it can go.
Confidently Utilizing: Tearless Trauma, Tell the Story, the Movie Technique and Sneaking Up.
Reading Your Client: Truly 'tuning in' to what they feel, hear and see to help them initiate the changes they desire.
Incorporating Client Language in Setups: This powerful technique involves listening for words that resonate with your client completely and using them effectively.
Testing your work: How and when to check if issues have truly been overcome.

Transforming the Energy: Empowering your client to transform the "negative" energy into energy that better serves their dreams and goals.
When EFT Does Not Work: Learning what to do, how to recognize the 'Apex Effect' and knowing when it is time to walk away.
Creating the Desired Future: As the challenges are cleared, begin to initiate the future your client desires.
Is Your Client Not Sure What S/he Wants? Learn how you can help them decide and develop it!
Learning how to close a session and assign homework.
Addressing your questions and concerns regarding your specific client issues and challenges.
The above is only a partial list of everything that can and will be covered in a Healthcare Provider Intensive Workshop. While we teach a strong foundation in both basic and more advanced EFT approaches, it is our hope that all our experiential workshops inspire participants to further deepen their knowledge of EFT. Additionally, clients who do their EFT "homework" tend to have the most profound results - and the same holds true for practitioners. The more you experience EFT for yourself and do your own work, the more you'll resonate with how powerful EFT truly is - and the more effective a coach you will be.
Experiential EFT Workshops: We plan to offer a whole portfolio of workshops for the general population as well as EFT professionals. While we are beginning our flagship projects with a select group of professionals, as we grow we will soon require additional qualified professionals. Please sign up for the Newsletter to learn about what we are doing and the latest training opportunities.
