Emotional Freedom Techniques Accredited EFT Practitioner Certification Training, in-person and online, throughout the year.

EFT Levels 1 and 2:Ā 

You will learn the full set of EFT skills in this combined Foundation and Practitioner Level Training, taking you from core principles to proficient practice in one integrated programme.

The training emphasises both foundational and advanced applications: We begin by building solid foundational knowledge and skills for confidently using EFT for personal use and self-regulation. From there we delve into the complete EFT toolbox with a thorough understanding of each technique and its appropriate application:

  • When to use each technique assessing context, client presentation and safety.
  • Why to use a particular technique: understand the rationale and expected outcomes for effective and ethical application.
  • What does a trauma-informed framework look like.

You’ll learn to effectively address a range of challenges, refine technique, and explore the nuances of tapping with real-life client scenarios. You will be equipped to work with more challenging issues using EFT Gentle techniques safely within a trauma-informed framework. We also cover approaches for addressing physical discomfort or pain.

Learning is experiential and practical: live demonstrations with students, hands-on practice in pairs or triads, and personalised feedback. Class size is intentionally small to ensure individual attention and meaningful progress.

As an integrative somatic psychotherapist, my focus for this EFT Training is on emotions and their impact on our well-being. Discover the pivotal role that emotions play in the realm of health, serving as as the interwoven essence that unites mental and physical well-being.

We explore mind body unity with EFT, as we integrate physiological responses in the body.

Develop the skills to recognise the interconnectedness of the individual, seeing thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and symptoms not as separate parts, but as an integrated whole.

Join me in this exploration of emotional health and EQ through the framework of EFT, as we uncover the transformative power that lies within harnessing the dynamics of our emotions.

Note: This perspective reflects my approach as of the present moment and may evolve with continued exploration and learning.

“Tapping” has become very popular and almost synonymous with self-care and personal growth. It’s important to note that Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) does involve tapping, but not all Tapping is EFT (read more here).

EFT is made up of a comprehensive set of therapeutic protocols and interventions and is much more than the simplified version often seen in social media videos. Training is essential to learn, understand and proficiently apply all the techniques integral to EFT.

Attending an EFT Training does not automatically qualify you as a Practitioner.

After completing EFT Levels 1 and 2, if you decide to pursue an Accredited Practitioner Certification with EFT International, there is a separate 9-12 month intensive mentoring and assessment process, including significant practice and case studies, and a separate fee.

Falguni is very generous, professional, fun and very caring when she teaches EFT. I felt very safe at all time as I feel that she handles the rise of emotions within a group with lots of professionalism and tact. On the top of teaching all the necessary tools to understand EFT, Falguni also shares anecdotes and always explains why a technique works better than another. I had done an EFT training online before but I can easily say that following Falguni’s training allowed me to gain much more confidence and understanding of EFT as practice is also a big part of her training.

Very valuable and informative three days. Falguni is an excellent facilitator! I had a supportive, engaging, and positive learning experience at this EFT level 1 and 2 training. She facilitates a fantastic workshop with specific hands-on skills, which will be valuable for my personal life. EFT is a great technique I can use every day, anywhere, for any problem and things will shift rapidly. Very empowering to know I can start to fix myself. Thank you, Falguni!

This training has given me a lot of energy! It is my first time to feel empowered and inspired so vividly in such a short time. Falguni is such a stable, energetic, professional, and lovely trainer. I can feel that my energy has started to flow. I have always wanted to help myself and others in a scientific way, and this training experience is a great start. I attended the EFT training originally just for knowing more about myself and helping my friends, but after the training, I have decided to pursue the road to get certified for influencing more people just like Falguni does all the time. Ā This experience means a lot to me, and I would keep tapping !

Mavis, Hong Kong

Falguni is an excellent workshop leader. The EFT Training was informative and of a high standard. Excellent source materials were provided. The group number of 8 made the workshop small and intimate. I felt very comfortable sharing my experiences with Falguni and the other group members. I plan to use EFT with my clients and recommend this workshop to anyone with an interest of self-care or working to improve the wellbeing of clients.

I truly enjoyed the EFT Level 1 & 2 training. Falguni has a host of experiences with EFT and she made learning about it fun and interesting. The training further deepened my understanding of the mind and body connections and the importance of looking at ourselves as a whole. Even though there was a lot of information to cover, Falguni set a good pace for us and the sessions flowed smoothly. I loved the in-class demonstration and how we experienced EFT right in the sessions and notice the shift in the way we feel about triggering situations. Thank you for an incredible experience. I look forward to strengthening my skills and share this amazing technique with others.
