EFT
I am certified in EFT Levels 1 and 2 as well as Matrix Reimprinting and work with both kids and adults. This strategy utilizes acupressure points and components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to move and regulate emotions that are stuck. By tapping a series of acupressure points while voicing the issue, it helps to short circuit the fight, flight or freeze response and to re-route our brains to think more clearly about the problem. Through this modality, we tap into the body to access the mind. Blocks that kids have can interfere with learning, friends, and others aspects of life. EFT can help and is a strategy that kids can use on their own that parents can learn too! For more in depth info on EFT read HERE.

Evidence
Science has proven that this methodology works! There are over 100 published papers on EFT. Here is a link.
“EFT has been a game-changer for Christian’s math struggles. He was so frustrated and stuck for the last few years, but after using EFT, he broke through the block. He is more confident, engaged, is able to learn and apply new math skills and concepts, and is actually enjoying math now. It’s like a weight has been lifted, and I’m so grateful for the progress Christian has made with Kelley’s guidance!”
—KH, Mother of Sixth Grader
EFT sessions were so helpful for my child’s camp anxiety. Sam was so nervous about going, but after a few sessions, he felt calmer and more excited. He had a toolbox of strategies to use when he was off on his own. Seeing him head off to camp with a smile instead of tears was incredible. I’m so thankful for how Kelley’s coaching and EFT helped Sam!”
—MA, Mother of fourth grader
“EFT totally turned things around for me. I was so stressed about friend drama and kept putting off schoolwork, but after the sessions, I feel so much lighter and in control. I’m beyond grateful for how much clearer and calmer I feel now!”
