Success with EFT :: Personal Peace

The following testimonials will give you an idea of the range of matters that Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) works for, and the profound benefits that it can bring.

New Direction and Perspective After the Grief and Sadness of Divorce

“Nicky Owers was a breath of fresh air to me when I felt suffocated by grief and sadness and overwhelming feelings of worthlessness. I was in New Zealand for seven weeks struggling through a heart-breaking (is there any other kind?) divorce. My husband of 26 years had left me and when he walked out the door I was left wondering who I was, would I ever feel whole again and would I ever heal? One night while searching for an EFT practitioner I found Nicky online and made contact. I could tell immediately that she would be a good fit.

“Nicky got right to heart of the matter and within moments had me delving deeper and deeper to find the root of the issue. It was remarkable. I was sent home with "homework" and returned the following week feeling lighter and with more hope than I had felt for ages. Again Nicky was able to find what was needed to help me move past blockages and see a new life. She was a true gift to me each and every time I went to see her. She encouraged me and celebrated in my success. I could tell that Nicky truly cared about me and wanted my happiness and wholeness. I recommend Nicky to anyone who is looking to move forward in their lives. Nicky Owers has a true calling and it is wonderful that she is sharing this with others.”

Emma Releases Trauma and Regains Full Use of Her Hand

I am especially pleased to include this story as one of Emotional Freedom Technique’s (EFT) successes, not only because I have known Emma for a number of years, but also because Emma is young and I would love to see everyone using EFT from a young age — to deal with all sorts of problems before they become too big.

Approximately two years before I treated Emma she had had an accident and slashed the tendons of two fingers on her right hand, something which required surgery to repair, and from which her hand never fully recovered. Not only could Emma not use her hand properly, it had also come to feel to Emma like it needed protection, and she often carried it in a guarded way, and it always felt cold.

“Nicky helped me by explaining EFT to me (and Mum) and then I talked about the accident and all the different parts of the story, and we tapped when we came to a bit that bothered me. Even while we were having our session it started to be okay for my hand to be touched, because I couldn’t cope with that before. Now I can wear rings and play tennis again (gripping the racquet handle had been too hard). It’s like a normal hand again.”

Welcome Stress Relief and Calmness

“Steve and I were in awe of what EFT had to offer us; the sensation we felt when we tried out EFT was quite addictive. Steve says that when he gets stressed through his work or with our large family and the stresses that come with teenagers, he finds a quite place and practices his EFT quite regularly. The success with it is that he can control his anxiety a lot better. I try EFT when I have personal time – not as often as I would like, but it has calmed me down and I don’t get so wound up so easily. We recommend EFT to anyone who would think they would benefit, keep an open mind, and the benefits speak for themselves. A big thank you to Nicky for introducing this to us.”
Steve and Linda, Lower Hutt, Lower Hutt

"About one month ago, my wife and I went to an evening where we were introduced to EFT. I had no idea what to expect, but was looking for some way of feeling more positive after having some serious losses in our lives.  After the introduction we booked to have some private sessions.  Since then we have had several sessions with Nicky and I am very surprised how much better I am feeling with something so simple as tapping.  I continue to tap daily.  Thanks very much, Nicky — you have been a great help to myself and my wife.
Graeme, Lower Hutt

Huge Benefits Gained When Negative Emotions Released

"I had taken EFT workshops, read books on the subject, and tried out the technique by myself.  As simple and as easy as the method is, I didn't manage to get many results on my own. I found it very hard to pinpoint the real underlying issues, to frame the problems in a way that made it possible for the tapping to work its magic, and to stay on course in the high seas of emotional vagaries.

Working with Nicky has been a truly rewarding experience, and I have gained a lot of respect for EFT along the way.  As is perhaps the case with any other healing modality, the results of even the most effective method can only ever be as good as the skill of the person applying it.  I found Nicky to be a professional and highly talented practitioner, and have no hesitation in recommending her."
René, Wellington

"I found EFT a great tool to deal with some pent-up emotions that I had been carrying for a long time. It is simple and easy to do, but a tool is only as good as the person using it.  In Nicky's hands it becomes all the more effective.

Nicky is a great listener and she is great at communicating and bringing to light all your hidden issues that you didn't even know existed.  I've seen some great changes in my since my EFT sessions with Nicky.  If you need some help, go see Nicky."

Released from anxiety and depression

"Eighteen months ago now I suffered the blackest time of my life.  Fortunately for me, the love of my mum and some close friends meant that I got the medical help that I required, and later was introduced to EFT.  The first time that I attended an EFT session with Nicky was to appease my mother, as any counselling sessions that I had tried prior has been a disaster.  Although I was a total sceptic, I had to admit that something about EFT immediately seemed to have a calming effect on me, and at the end of it I knew, despite my scepticism, that I wanted to come again.  A few sessions later, I realised that each time I felt lighter and calmer than before and on finishing, was absolutely looking forward to the following week's appointment.

Over the course of a few months I became addicted to the stress release that each session brought.  It was like an emotional load was literally being lifted off my shoulders every week.  Eighteen months on, I still go to Nicky fortnightly for my EFT session.  Hand on my heart, I can honestly say that there is never a session that I come away feel anything but better, more relaxed, and more capable of facing the world that week.

My career has blossomed, my self-confidence and belief in my own ability has soared, and most importantly, I feel like I will never, ever return to those dark, depressive, anxious days again.  I feel blessed to have been directed and encouraged to seek help from EFT, and I would absolutely direct any friend or loved one likewise if I felt that they would benefit.  As I see it, the key to dealing with anxiety and depression is to seek help early and to "off load" the emotional baggage that is causing the problem.  To this end, in my mind, there is no better help than EFT!

Thank you Nicky and EFT for helping to give me back my zest for life!"

PTSD gone

“Nicky is an excellent EFT practitioner. In the past I had worked with several practitioners and had almost given up on the possibility of finding someone who could help me.  With Nicky, the healing just unfolded and I was able to let go of what had been haunting me for so long, with very little effort or angst. Things from my past that I had long denied have now lost their hold on me, and I have a new-found freedom that goes beyond what I had even expected.  I was working with major triggering reactions for which I had no conscious explanation, and Nicky helped me see that it's not actually about the story or what happened, it's about staying with the feelings and thoughts as they arise and letting them release. What a relief! Healing with Nicky has turned out SO much easier than I expected, and I am very grateful for the help that she has given me.”

Relief from anxiety attacks

"I began seeing Nicky during one of the darkest periods of my life.  Having tried conventional counselling for severe anxiety and following the usual recommendations to eat well, maintain regular exercise, and get enough sleep, I made contact with Nicky in early April.  From my first phone conversation with Nicky I was put at ease, and despite my scepticism about EFT (it sounded to good to be true), I decided to give it a go.

At this point my anxiety was so bad that I was unable to function normally.  I would wake early in the morning seized by a panic attack and spend the whole day worrying about the work I had to do, yet each time I sat down to do it, I was overcome with panic.  Of course, this in turn created more anxiety.  It was a vicious cycle.  Things were so bad that I would burst into tears several times a day.  I knew things were really bad when my husband said that he was going to the supermarket for half an hour and I burst into tears, begging him not to go.  My self esteem and confidence was at an all-time low.  I barely recognised myself and this frightened me.  Where had the bubbly, positive, and independent me disappeared to?  Was I losing my mind?

I began to notice a difference from my first session with Nicky.  Interestingly enough, the first thing to surface was not the stress of post-graduate study, but rather unresolved grief and fear of loss.  I experienced such a huge emotional release during that first hour that I was hooked.  I have continued to see Nicky on a regular basis and have noticed incredible results.

Nicky immediately made me feel at ease.  She is very professional, yet down to earth and personable.  She is an excellent listener and is incredibly gifted in identifying the root of the particular issue.  I will be forever grateful to Nicky for helping me through one of the lowest periods of my life and for sharing with me the tools to heal myself.  Nicky has helped me work through some of the underlying issues causing my anxiety and in the process I have gained a deeper understanding, love, and appreciation of myself. I have found 'me' again. I am no longer a sceptic!"
