EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques™) is a simple process involving light tapping of a few familiar calming-down sites around the face and upper body. You may know these sites as significant acupressure points. As we tap, we name and hold in awareness a personal issue or problem that we want to change.

My Vision for EFT in New Zealand

That New Zealand becomes known as a place where counselling and health practitioners routinely integrate EFT skills ethically, legally, and safely into a wide range of health and wellbeing practices.

That EFT will become a daily do-it-yourself process for maintaining health, happiness and wellbeing in both adults and children.

That in New Zealand we create policies and processes that promote EFT as a vital process for change and growth in all areas of human life.

When we tap on what holds us back, we make it possible for our vision to manifest, and become reality.

In the Beginning
We owe this remarkable self-change process known as EFT to the vision, skill and enthusiasm of creator, Gary Craig.

Gary, from his home in California, has developed, expanded, and perfected this easy effective tool for personal growth and healing. He has been a pioneer in using the Internet as his training platform, hence has made EFT readily available across the world. Over the past ten years we have read and heard of EFT being used for healing and self help, in major disasters, in emergency wards, in war torn countries, in hospices and schools - even as far away from California as a little church in the far north of New Zealand.

EFT is easy and effective
There is a mass of anecdotal evidence regarding the simplicity and effectiveness of EFT and other Energy Psychology techniques. Personal accounts of change continue to be validated through a growing body of research. Increasing numbers of health professionals are using EFT to enhance their effectiveness.

Professional standards
High standards of professionalism in EFT practice are being effectively advanced by Ann Adams, developer of the EFT Masters programme. Ann’s vision and hard work has, after only two years, resulted in the presence of EFT Masters in eight different countries.

EFT in New Zealand
There are a growing number of EFT users and practitioners from Invercargill at the bottom of the South Island, to Whangarei in the far North. They come from many different walks of life and professional backgrounds, and may use EFT in different ways. EFT was developed in America. Social, cultural and legislative differences between countries mean that in New Zealand we must find a way to make the best use of EFT whilst honoring our own cultural, legislative, and professional parameters.
