From Nicole "EFT is amazing!!!! It is extremely effective for anxiety, depression, PTSD, pain (emotional and physical), phobias and dealing with all sorts of health and life issues. A few years ago  I became aware of the phenomenal scientific research into the effectiveness of EFT (over 300 clinical studies) and started my training in Evidence Based EFT. I completed EFT Practitioner Training in September 2021 and EFT Trauma Training in November 2022 and as an extra I am currently undertaking premium accreditation in Evidence Based EFT."
