Monthly group program for the practice of EFT for stress reduction. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is often called emotional acupuncture (but, we don’t use needles!). It quickly and effectively reduces stress and neutralizes negative emotions that we hang onto from unpleasant or traumatic life experiences. EFT combines focusing your thoughts on unpleasant memories or events, with gentle tapping on certain facial and upper body acupressure points. It is painless and the results are long lasting. EFT allows you to think more clearly and positively as your emotional stress is reduced.
Registration is required for each monthly session
