EFT(Emotional Freedom Techniques) aka Tapping
EFT- The Basics
EFT is a form of acupressure. We tap on the meridian channels while we focus on a problem or issue. EFT aka Tapping is a holistic tool that is used as a form of energy psychology. It is an effective tool that is used in the treatment of:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Physical Pain
- Weight Loss
- Addictions
- Fears
- Trauma
- Limiting Beliefs
EFT can be used for just about ANYTHING!
EFT- On A Deeper Level
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and it really does just that. When you use EFT on a deeper level, what you are doing is changing the emotional charge that is attached to fears, beliefs, memories or more. Check out the video below to see Lori's perspective on "Tapping into Spirit"
Science Behind EFT
When we use EFT, it has been proven that we reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) levels in the body. High cortisol levels can have a negative impact on digestion, self healing & metabolism to name a few. Cortisol is released when the amygdala (part of the brain) is triggered by some form of danger. The dangers though are typically linked back to childhood memories and are not necessarily what you would consider a danger today.

EFT & The Inner Child
You were not born feeling stuck, trapped, helpless, or anything else negative. You were born perfect with all the gifts and knowledge inside of you. And then we were exposed to our tribe! We observed and we learned at a very young age (even in the uterus) what was "safe" and what was not safe. That inner child has been guiding your decisions as well as your manifestations throughout your life. If that inner child learned from a young age that it wasn't safe to try something new because she had a negative experience (small or large trauma) then she will avoid new things, new relationships, new ventures. This happens to SO many of us. No wonder you may be feeling stuck. If you believe it's not safe to try new things, then it would be actually safer to stay in the stuck position. It would be safer to procrastinate, to avoid that "danger" of stepping out into the unknown. That is where Matrix Reimprinting comes in!
Matrix Reimprinting
Matrix Reimprinting- The Basics
Matrix Reimprinting is a form of EFT. Matrix is referring to your energy field. It is the place where your memories lie. Some people imagine it as more of a data bank of your life's experiences. We use MR when you have a memory that is holding a charge in your matrix. Reimprinting is what we do after we have empowered your inner child. We reimprint the new positive empowered energy into your matrix, your cells and your energy field.
Matrix Reimprinting- Example
Let's say that you got lost in the grocery store when you were 5. You would go into that memory as your adult self. You would tap on the 5 year old lost you. You would use her language and help her to feel safe. You would learn what it was that she learned about herself and /or the world in that moment, aka the limiting belief. Perhaps she learned that the world was scary. Perhaps she learned that she needs other people to feel safe, or that she can't do things alone. After we tap with her and use some empowerment tools, we reimprint the new belief; "it is safe to try something on my own" or "it is safe to trust myself."
Matrix Reimprinting- Empowerment
The exciting thing about Matrix Reimprinting is that once we get into the Matrix and we begin helping, healing and empowering the inner child, more memories come to the surface. More opportunities to heal are presented. This means more results, more shifts, more empowerment!
Matrix Reimprinting- Even Deeper
When we are in the Matrix, we can work with the energy of other people as well. We are not limited to only the inner child. In some instances, we are able to go as far back as in utero as well as even to past lives!

Working With a Certified Practitioner
Tapping On Your Own
EFT is a great tool that you can absolutely use on your own. Most people worry about what to say. I always encourage my clients to just follow their intuition. Just start tapping and say what is on your mind. Tap on the points in the diagram in any order you feel comfortable with. allow yourself to tune into the issue and just say what comes to mind. Review the PDF at the bottom of the page titled "Basic Tapping Recipe"
Working With a Certified Practitioner
There are so many benefits to working with an EFT International Advanced Certified and Accredited EFT Practitioner. Sometimes we just can't see the forest through the trees. Working with a practitioner allows you to have someone who can see the larger picture and who has the experience and the training to help guide you through that forest so that you can get to the empowerment clearing!
EFTi Certification and Accreditation
Not all certifications are created equally. In EFT International's, formerly known as AAMET, certification process, I was required to have 50 sessions, write 4 case studies and work with a mentor individually. Once certified, in order to maintain my certification, I need 30 hours of trainings/education as well as 6 hours of mentoring yearly. I am always working towards expanding and growing my knowledge of EFT and other healing modalities. To learn more about EFT International, visit their home page at https://eftinternational.org/
Importance of Being Trauma Informed
We all experience trauma to some degree. There are two main categories for trauma; big "T" and small "t". A big "T" trauma is an event where you were in physical danger; car accident, house fire, rape, physical abuse, anything that put you directly in harm's way. Then we have small "t" traumas. These are traumas where there was a perception of danger; emotional abuse, bullying, witnessing parents fighting, death of a pet, even being embarrassed in front of the kids on the playground could be perceived as a trauma.
When you are dealing with a trauma, you always want to do that with a professional who is trauma informed and competent at helping you get through that trauma in a safe and effective way. Being able to identify traumas and have the correct applications for said trauma is crucial in the healing and empowerment process. Being trauma informed, Lori has a wide variety of techniques that she can implement as a good fit for the specific trauma. Often times clients come to Lori with the desire to rip off the band aid and just start attacking the trauma. Being a highly skilled practitioner with years of experience, Lori has learned much gentler and more effective ways to help you address, process and release the trauma and triggers causing problems in your day to day life.
