Trainings and Workshops
For Those Who Choose to Be Extraodinary

Each gathering introduces concepts beyond the basics. Learn the true depth that these techniques have to offer through processes and unique approaches designed to expand your abilities and effectiveness; enhance and blend them with the concepts you already use.

Even those who "know EFT" report they walk away seeing EFT in a whole new light, and a profound respect for the heights its true artistry can yield.

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, 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 Techniques^TM) 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 Transformational Trauma Release^TM 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.

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

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.

Advanced Level 3

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.

Advanced Level 4

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.

Advanced Level 5

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.

Overview of Transformational Trauma Release^TM

TTR will help you take your EFT skills to an exceptional level, whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned practitioner. It will give you effective and efficient ways to offer relief and hope to those with trauma issues, regardless of the depth of trauma. You will be taken through all the necessary steps to enhance and build your skills to a level that will aid you in gaining the basics of working with the many layers and core aspects of trauma.

You will learn to recognize and work with common dissociative states, understand how the body and mind are impacted by trauma, as you gain the confidence to recognize and work through the layers of trauma. Handling flashbacks and intense abreactions without traumatizing yourself or further traumatizing your client are important tools you will learn about. You will gain the wisdom to offer compassionate support and guidance in a manner that is comforts and assures their progress through the process.

It takes you through the necessary steps to restore or gain a sense of peace within, confidence and balance in their lives, as they recover from their trauma experiences. These are steps not often spoke of in detail when the initial focus has been to simply gain relief from the discomfort of trauma.

Phase 1 & 2 of this program are preparatory for our more advanced trainings, which deal with the specifics of sexual abuse and torture, war trauma, natural disaster, the trauma of living with trauma survivors, and more.

Each training course includes self-care and self-clearing, the essential elements to let us thrive and enjoy this work not burn-out.

Time is always allowed for discussions, questions and answers, with plenty of practice time and demonstrations included.

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.
