What is EFT?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), or "tapping," is a therapeutic method that combines elements of acupressure and talk therapy to help individuals manage both emotional and physical health concerns. By stimulating specific acupressure points on the body (such as the face, hands, and collarbone), EFT works to release emotional blockages that may be contributing to stress, pain, and other physical or emotional symptoms. This technique taps into the mind-body connection, using words to focus on the issues causing distress while physically "tapping" to calm the body's stress response.
Beyond Self-Help
While EFT is commonly used as a self-help tool for managing everyday stress and anxiety, it is much more powerful when guided by a trained practitioner. Practitioners are skilled at uncovering the root causes of a client's symptoms, addressing complex emotional layers that may contribute to presenting issues. Additionally, they employ advanced techniques like the "Movie Technique" for processing traumatic memories and the "Tearless Trauma Technique" for a gentle approach to difficult experiences. Working with a practitioner provides a safe space for clients to explore emotions deeply and experience lasting change.
Why Work with a Practitioner?
Working with a professional EFT practitioner offers several key benefits:
- Identifying Root Causes: Practitioners are trained to recognize and address the underlying issues of a client's symptoms, enabling a more comprehensive and effective therapeutic experience.
- Providing Support: Practitioners create a safe environment where clients can work through difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed, which is crucial for individuals with a history of trauma or mental health concerns.
- Accessing Advanced Techniques: A trained EFT professional can utilize advanced techniques to uncover deep-seated beliefs and emotional patterns, which can lead to profound and transformative changes.
A Versatile Therapeutic Approach
EFT can address a wide range of emotional and physical challenges, including:
- Anxiety and low mood
- Cravings and weight management
- Digestive issues like IBS
- Chronic pain and migraines
- Sleep disturbances, including insomnia
- Hormonal imbalances and fatigue
- Skin issues such as eczema and acne
By focusing on the root causes of these issues, EFT provides a pathway to long-term wellness and emotional balance.
EFT and the Nervous System
EFT activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" response), helping to calm the body’s reaction to stress. This process encourages individuals to become aware of the physical sensations, emotions, and memories associated with their distress. With the support of a practitioner, clients can learn to respond to stress more effectively, creating healthier reactions over time.
Complementing Bioresonance Therapy
For those undergoing bioresonance therapy, incorporating EFT can enhance the therapeutic effects. By addressing emotional contributors to physical issues, EFT complements bioresonance's focus on energetic imbalances, fostering a holistic approach to health that promotes complete healing and balance.

- Stress, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms
- Self-esteem and self-confidence
- Relationship challenges
- Chronic conditions and pain management
- Cravings and emotional eating

Testimonial
“My sessions with Falguni have helped me realize the extent of fear, stress, and anxiety I have carried, which manifested in physical symptoms like heart palpitations and thyroid issues. I now use EFT regularly and feel a shift not only mentally but also physically. I can’t thank Falguni enough for helping me through this rough patch!” — S.Z., New Yor
