Meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday. 

Monthly group program for the practice of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for stress reduction. EFT 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.

Facilitated by Christine Hunt, Wellness Coach & Consultant Certified EFT & Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner
