Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of techniques do you use?

The main technique I use is called EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). This technique was developed by Gary Craig in the early 1990's and is currently used by thousands of people around the world. I also use HeartMath and TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), along with several other techniques I've developed.

Do you use drugs or supplements?

No drugs, supplements, tools or apparatus of any kind are used in the session. We use only simple, effective personal development techniques that clear out negative patterns.

How does EFT work?

EFT is like emotional acupressure (or acupuncture without the needles). Acupressure works with physical symptoms, whereas EFT works with negative emotions, thoughts and beliefs. By tapping on certain acupressure (energy) points while remembering a stressful situation, it clears out the emotional charge associated with the event.

This sounds pretty weird...

It may sound weird at first, especially if you're not familiar with these types of techniques. It's just like anything that is new or different, until we understand or get used to it, it feels uncomfortable. Acupuncture, which uses the same energy points, is now an accepted practice in the United States and is covered by many health insurance companies. The good thing is, even if you don't understand it, it still works.

Will it work even if I don't believe it will?

Yes. You don't have to believe in it, you just have to do the techniques. Some people believe it after they experience positive results. Other people have positive results and still don't "believe" it. Either way, as long as you do the technique, the positive results will be there.

What type of results do people have?

People have reported feeling more confident, relaxed. They are able to deal with life better, not over-reacting to stressful situations or feeling stressed so often. They have more energy and are able to sleep better. People say, "It (the problem) just doesn't bother me the way it used to." By reducing stress and cravings, it makes it easier to lose weight or stop smoking.

Kids have reported that they are less stressed about school, homework is easier, their grades improve, learning new things is easier, they have more self-confidence.

This has really helped me, but how do I explain it to my family and friends?

A good way to explain it is to say, "I'm working with a consultant who uses simple techniques to clear out my (stress, fear, anger, sadness or negative emotions). I've found when the stress is gone, I'm able to (lose weight, stop smoking, have more energy and motivation, achieve my goals, etc.) The technique is like emotional acupressure (or acupuncture without the needles). Acupressure works with physical symptoms, these techniques work with emotions."

How would I know if this is right for me?

Some people will just know this is the right thing for them to do. Others may think it sounds like a good thing to do, but they're just not sure. The only way to really know is to try it. To make this process easier, I offer an unconditional guarantee. After the first session, if you aren't happy with the results for any reason, or if you don't think this is right for you, then there is no charge for the first session. If you have any questions that haven't been answered on this web site, feel free to give me a call or email me.

Is this therapy?

This is not therapy and I am not a therapist or a psychologist. I am a Personal Development Consultant. I help people clear out negative emotions, thought and beliefs, so they can be who they truly are and create the life they want.

Do you treat mental or emotional illnesses?

I do not treat mental or emotional illnesses. If you are currently dealing with one of these illnesses and feel this might be right for you, give me a call. I may be able to work with you in conjunction with your current therapist or psychologist.

Does this interfere with therapy or any other processes I may be doing?

This complements therapy very well. In therapy, you have a chance to talk about and understand the issues you are dealing with, which is a very important part of the process. Once you understand the issues, using the techniques I work with, you will be able to clear them out. So you go to therapy to talk, then you come to me to clear things out. I've worked with many people who used both at the same time.

The techniques I use work well with other processes. Usually it speeds up the growth process and makes other areas of your life go more smoothly. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
