EFT or "Tapping"
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or "Tapping" is a way of working which can have profound results. Sometimes known as 'acupuncture without needles', it stimulates our in-built healing system, releasing long held patterns of thinking, behaving and reacting, to generate 'emotional freedom', and a deep sense of peace and calm.
EFT can, and has, successfully been used to treat conditions such as:

Tapping involves stimulating acupressure points on the head, face and body, by tapping gently with your fingers, whilst talking through an issue, pain or difficulty.
EFT is a powerful tool I love to use with my clients, and once you've learnt the basics you can then apply them anywhere, without having to wait for your next session to really feel the benefits! Currently sessions are held online with zoom, from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
I am also training to be an IEP practitioner (Intention Energy Process) with Steve Wells. You can find out more about this new way of working in an interview between Steve Wells and Dawson Church here
I am finding I get even more incredible results with this way of working, Intention-based Energy Process (IEP), also known as Intention Tapping is a simple yet powerful process developed by Steve Wells that combines specific definite intentions with tapping for rapid emotional relief. The intentions used in IEP act as commands to your unconscious mind to release the emotional attachments which are causing your problems, to unblock the energy disturbances and restore your life energy to flow. This gentle and natural process often results in rapid positive shifts in thinking and feeling, restores you to calm clarity, and empowers you to move forward with confidence. |
Research shows that Tapping calms the amygdala in the brain, (the part which governs our fight, flight and freeze responses) regulates our nervous system, and reduces stress and anxiety
A study published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases found that EFT lowered the major stress hormone Cortisol significantly more than other interventions tested. ..
High levels of stress can lead to chronic complications such as high blood pressure, brain fog, weight gain and it can hamper the immune system
EFT tapping has been proven to:

You can find out more about EFT and the way it works in this short video I made for the Penny Brohn website (click on the link) It includes a short demonstration of how to tap for reducing anxiety. (and you don't need to be a cancer patient to benefit from that! ) |
Whilst EFT can produce remarkable results it should not be used in place of conventional medical care. Always consult your GP for medical attention and advice. Clients have found EFT useful as a complement to any conventional medical treatment.
What people say about E.F.T. with Hannah
"I came to see Hannah for EFT as I was struggling with anxiety and low mood. Its honestly mind blowing. The simple yet effective tapping shifts negative emotions and releases them, it's amazing. Hannah is so warm in her approach and was excellent in understanding how and what I was feeling and guided me wonderfully throughout our sessions to get to the root of the problem. I I have tried a lot of alternative treatments but EFT with Hannah is by far one of the best I have experienced"
Fleur W. KG Hypno-birthing Teacher
"When you've done all the "Talking Therapies", gone round and round and are still stuck with stuff, I would really recommend working with Hannah! Her ability to listen and observe, whilst gently challenging, and guiding you combined with the EFT is just a winning combo. I'm shifting things I thought I never would be able to and its so liberating!!
Katie T. Business Coach.
I was a bit nervous about working online with Hannah at first, as I wasn't sure it would be as effective as our usual face to face sessions. But her warmth and calm nature came through equally on the zoom session, and it really helped me feel more peaceful and calm immediately. We also really quickly released some tension in my shoulders too, which felt just as effective as having a massage which was amazing!
Marian F. Solicitor
" I couldn't believe it, I was so shocked! The extreme pain I'd been experiencing in my tooth for two days completely disappeared, and didn't come back. I had no idea it could be connected to anything emotional, and once we'd worked on that, the toothache totally went. It's spooky but brilliant!"
Kate B ,Hairdresser
'EFT & Shiatsu with Hannah has changed the direction of my health and happiness in a huge way -particularly regarding M.E/CFS. Hannah has so much wisdom to share. I've gained far more from the sessions than I ever expected to and feel incredibly lucky to have found Hannah and her work. One of my favourite things is that the environment is relaxed and light-hearted whilst still feeling very safe. If you're an anxious patient, you are in great hands'.

"Hannah's approach is very insightful, she gently leads you to explore areas you've been struggling with, and through using tapping and combining it with the Shiatsu its a really great combination. It feels like a 360 degree treatment, like nothing else. I felt so calm, and capable for the first time in years, and the effects really seem to last"
Jane P, Legal Secretary
"Tapping is Brilliant! Im a total sceptic, but I can't deny that it really does work."
Marie, mother of two
"I've been having panic attacks and anxiety for about three years, and got to the point where often I couldn't really leave the house or do anything. I've just started Uni, and I really wanted to crack it once and for all. I went to Hannah for Shiatsu and she also taught me tapping. I haven't had any panic attacks since, and I know how to calm myself down now. I feel so much more confident, and am really looking forwards to starting next term which I never thought I'd hear myself say"
