Emotional freedom techniques (EFT)
EFT - commonly referred to as “EFT Tapping” or simply as “Tapping” - can be thought of as self-applied acupressure.
It’s a self-help method in which a person uses their fingertips to gently tap on their body’s acupuncture points while saying specific words and phrases.
It is believed that this procedure helps to release the intensity of thoughts, beliefs and emotions within the person.
Heather is an Accredited Certificated Advanced Practitioner with EFT International.
matrix reimprinting
Matrix Reimprinting is considered a specific form of EFT in which a person is guided to work with one of their past events, with the intention to help release any lingering emotional intensity. It can also help to uncover unsupportive beliefs that were formed as a result of that event.
In addition to being designed to release the event’s emotional intensity, it is believed that this procedure can help to expose beliefs that no longer serve the person, so that new, helpful beliefs can be formed.
Heather is a certified Matrix Reimprinting practitioner with the Matrix Reimprinting Academy.
Tapas acupressure technique (TAT)
TAT is a self-help technique that uses a person’s acupuncture points with the intention to help release emotional intensity.
In TAT, a person holds several acupressure points on their head as they go through a series of nine statements.
It is believed that this procedure can help to reduce stress and emotional intensity of past events.
Heather is a Certified TAT Professional with TATLife.
Meta-health
Meta-Health uses the mind-body-social connection to uncover emotions that might be negatively impacting a person’s health and well-being.
Once these emotions are identified, other techniques (including EFT, Matrix Reimprinting, TAT, and traditional ICF coaching) can be used with the intention to reduce their intensity.
Heather is a Meta-Health Master Practitioner with Meta-Health International.
