The Mental Game©

An Emotional Freedom Technique

The Mental Game© involves tapping on acupressure points to provide relief for a wide range of emotional and physical symptoms, and will help you to overcome the mental aspect of your illness, injury or sporting activity.

Common Ailments
EFT works for many physical conditions, too numerous to mention. EFT does not cure diseases. EFT gently realigns the body's energy system. Given the proper nutrients and tapping stimulation, the body seeks homeostasis; that is, it seeks health. So if you give your body a good diet, moderate exercise, and tap on your meridians regularly, your body will try to heal itself. Certain conditions are referred out to professionals trained to handle some mental and emotional diagnosed conditions.

General Anxiety
Did you ever feel nervous when asked to speak to a group of people? Many people report that they fear public speaking more than they fear death. Tapping gently realigns the body's energy system, which often calms those anxious feelings.

Athletes
If you play sports, you know that a large part of your game is mental. With EFT, I will help you overcome slumps, eliminate hooks & slices, avoid the freshman wall and the sophomore jinx, throw straighter, jump higher and run faster. "No pain, no gain" is a thing of the past with EFT.

Effective
More than 80% of clients report noticeable improvement from their problems in one session. People with multiple problems will occasionally take three to ten sessions to bring about more complete relief.

Ethics for Massage Therapists

Previously offered through the Oregon Massage Therapists Association, this class covers Ethical Principles, Boundaries, Communication, Dual Relationships, Practice Management, Business Ethics, Trauma, Supervision, and Touch, Intimacy and Sex. We wil discuss current ethical dilemmas massage therapists are experiencing. This class fulfills the OBMT re-licensing requirement. This class is taught every other month or so at Lane Community College downtown campus, room 105.

 

Current Tapping Point at

People are always asking me if there is a good time to tap.

The answer is that it is always a good time to tap! However, certain points may seem more effective at certain times of the day because as our life force energy moves through our bodies, it is highlighted in different meridians at different times of the day.

This chart gives the time of day (above) that you entered this page, shows which meridian is highlighted, what to tap for, and what to do.

Since the energy is highlighted in each of 12 meridians for two hours, simply refresh this page occasionally to see which meridian is highlighted and which point to tap.

My thanks go to Jenna Justice for creating the coding for this chart.

EFT Testimonials

Please recognize that testimonials are selective and are not fully representative of everyone's experience. There is no guarantee of any specific results. The testimonials on this website do not constitute a warranty or prediction regarding the outcome of an individual using my services for any particular issue. Still, I share these testimonials to give a sense of what some clients have experienced.

"Thanks for the terrific session. Your work is very different than the other practitioners I've experienced, and I've been feeling kinda different too. I've been talking about our session with my friends, and I realized this evening that one of the things that made it so powerful for me was the fact that you shared some of your stuff with me (usually it's all about "the client"), which helped me feel more connected.

"You heal from your heart, not your head.

"I love how you worked with me!

"And I appreciated the fact that you explained the process in a way that made better conceptual sense to me, which is always valuable. My mind simply must understand things, you know :-)."

Aloha Hoahanau

In my dealings with my clients, I strive to do the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, in the right place, to the right person, for the right reason with the right feeling—the first time and every time.

Ho'oponopono

Ancient Hawaiians counselled "making right, more right the path," utilizing the philosophy and practice of Aloha Lokahi—love and unity, the all encompassing and important aspect of the Aloha Spirit value system that Hawaiians embrace.
