EFT/Tapping for you and your animals
Emotional Freedom Techniques, also known as EFT or Tapping, is a self-help tool that is quick and easy to learn. It uses gentle fingertip tapping on acupressure points to process emotions and help you feel calmer. Research has shown its effectiveness for people with stress and anxiety, pain, food cravings, and sports or academic performance. And, guess what? You can use it with your animal friends too. It’s easy to translate the techniques to animals, and people have found it can help animals relax and feel calmer. It can also enhance your relationship with your animal.
In the workshop, you’ll learn and practice EFT for yourself in the morning, and then in the afternoon Therese will show you how to use it with animals. We’ll discuss different approaches and scenarios, and you’ll leave with a new tools for you, your animals and your family.
Join us for a fun and relaxing day in our spacious, comfortable heated classroom space at Spirit Horse Center. We also have a comfortable and heated indoor restroom.
Please plan to pack a lunch. A lunch break will be given and there is a gas station nearby but restaurants and takeout are about a 15 minute drive and may not be feasible in the allotted time. We will have water and coffee available throughout the day at the clinic.
