Private Energy Therapy Sessions

I've been helping clients for more than 11 years in over 3500 Energy Therapy sessions. Throughout that time, I've been studying various energetic techniques and getting professional training and certification in the ones that I find most helpful.

All this has helped me to become extremely effective in helping my clients achieve their goals. Why not get the benefits of leveraging off of all that experience?

Check out the testimonials on my website. The testimonials really are true and most include a name and phone number because those people are offering to share their experience of working one-on-one with me. They saw the value of working with a professional, got great results, and want you to get great results too!

Article: Frozen Shoulder Thaws Out for Spring

Recently a client who I'll call Beth (not her real name) called me about her frozen shoulder. Beth told me that she had damaged the rotator cuff and done physiotherapy for several months with limited results. It was now a year later and the shoulder was still frozen, with limited range of motion and pain when she reached the limit. After hearing about Emotional Freedom Technique she gave me a call and decided to give energy therapy a try.

At the beginning of the session, Beth showed me what range of motion she had in her left arm -- when raised to the side, the arm would only go up to the horizontal. It wouldn't move backwards much at all, and the range was also quite limited when she tried to lift it up in front of her. I made quick sketchs to indicate the range of motion at these different angles. I didn't ask Beth to put 1 to 10 numbers on what we tapped on, as I figured that her arm's range-of-motion would be an excellent indicator of progress.

We started with using EFT and tapping on the obvious:
Even tho' I can't raise my arm higher than this... tap, tap, tap...
(we did this one for the various angles, front, side, back, etc)
Even tho' I'm frustrated that I can't raise my arm...

Even after just a few rounds of EFT, Beth could raise her arm a couple of inches higher in all the directions we tried. Beth hadn't experienced EFT before, and was pleased to see an immediate improvement without any pain! So we did several more rounds of EFT using similar wording.

After using EFT for about an hour, Beth could raise her left arm to the side about 45 degrees above the horizontal, about 2 feet higher than when we started. Beth was delighted with this progress, after having seen no improvement for almost a year.

Beth come back for a second session about a week later. She reported that her arm and shoulder had continued to improve for a couple of days after the session (which is common) and showed me how much more free her shoulder was, particularly when raising her arm up to the side.

This session she wanted to focus on moving her arm her arm forward above her head. Again, we started with the strictly physical, tapping on "I can't raise my arm higher than this". When Beth noticed herself getting frustrated and angry, we tapped on "the frustration in my shoulder" and "the anger in my shoulder".

I asked Beth what was going on in her life around the time the problem started. She told me there were challenges in her family, particularly with her grownup step-daughter who was living with her and her husband at the time of the injury. Beth then tapped on her frustration with that situation, and after working on each piece of it, she'd be able to raise her arm a couple more inches.

By the end of the session, Beth had about 90% of the full range of motion in her left shoulder in all directions, compared to her right shoulder, and was very pleased indeed!

Cheers, Nina.

Introduction to Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) or "TAT Basics" Workshop
Saturday and Sunday June 18-19, 2010 in Toronto

Tapas Acupressure Technique or TAT is a meditative healing method which was originally developed by Tapas Fleming, an acupuncturist, to treat allergies. But TAT isn't only for allergies! TAT is incredibly effective at relieving many other physical problems which are affected by stress, such as headaches, body pains, breathing difficulties, and skin and digestive disorders. TAT is also superb at freeing yourself of emotional issues, dispelling negative beliefs, and healing trauma and the after effects of trauma (PTSD). As you may be able to tell, I am a big fan of TAT.

In this introductory workshop you’ll learn the basics of TAT and how it works. You’ll get lots of practice using TAT and learn how to apply it to a variety of types of problems, as well as see demos which will help you gain insight into more intuitive and creative uses of TAT. You’ll go away with the confidence to apply these techniques immediately in your daily life and work. For more information on this workshop, Check here.

QUALITY EFT TRAINING

Like anything else, EFT works best for those who have trained how to use it most effectively. There are a variety of ways you can learn EFT, so you can select one which most fits your learning style.

You might watch the excellent training DVDs made by the founder of EFT, Gary Craig. Unfortunately, these are no longer available for sale. These DVDs really are the "gold standard" for video based EFT training, so I hope they will soon become available again. In the meantime, you might try copying those belonging to a friend (it's ok - Gary Craig is fine with making up to 100 copies, generous man that he is.)

If you would like to experience the interaction and feedback of a live workshop, come out to one led by me, Nina Bregman. I've been teaching EFT workshops since 2001 and have led over 90 workshops! If you're not completely satisfied with the workshop I return your fee — but nobody has ever asked for that, so I must be doing something right!
