Wellness / Well-Being
Each person in the world has a different definition or concept of well being or wellness, and each person is looking for something unique to them in their quest for greater wellness/well being. Depending upon the client, I teach and use many approaches to help them achieve their wellness goals and find their way. Chief among these techniques is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
“Your emotional health, your success in the world, and your level of joy can all be dramatically enhanced by shifting the energies that regulate them.”
--David Feinstein, Donna Eden & Gary Craig, The Promise of Energy Psychology
What is EFT?
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), it is a relatively new and powerful technique created by a Stanford engineer, Gary Craig, who left engineering and became a personal performance coach. It is a rather unconventional technique and some may even call it “odd” but it is gaining in popularity and credibility as more and more people experience it. A recent client of mine had heard about it from his child’s doctor. Another client had seen it demonstrated on TV. EFT is currently used by many coaches, educators, therapists, nurses, etc. all over the world.
EFT targets (through tapping particular acupressure points) one of the body’s energy systems, the meridian system, which was discovered by the Chinese over 5,000 years ago. According to Gary Craig, when we have a negative thought, emotion, or event – our energy system is disrupted or blocked. EFT can clear the blocked energy. EFT can balance the disturbance. This allows us to move closer to our more natural state, closer to a state of well-being.
Why learn EFT?
I use this technique with myself and with EFT clients for many reasons. It is easy-to-learn, easy-to-use, gentle, non-invasive, produces no side-effects, can be used almost anywhere, and often has rapid results.
EFT is consistent with my approach to coaching. It is a collaboration, with the client and me working together to achieve their goals; for example to reduce stress and anxiety or to eliminate negative thoughts that reduce their effectiveness. Furthermore, EFT can also be used to create positive, powerful and life-enhancing thoughts and beliefs.
What can you use EFT for? Here is a partial list:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Worry
- Limiting Beliefs
- Performance blocks, including academic
- Fears: public speaking, flying, cold calling, etc.
- Cravings and addictions
- Pain & illness
- Insecurity
- Grief, frustration, anger, shame, guilt
- Blocks to progress
- Self-doubt
- Procrastination
- Trauma and painful memories
How can I initiate an EFT session?
Simply email or call Brady to set up an appointment. In the first appointment, Brady will teach you EFT, and work with you on an important concern or problem. If you find this approach helpful, you can decide then whether you want to engage in any more sessions.

From the very first session with Brady, I have had more clarity of thought and confidence in myself than ever before. As someone who has had a high-stress life both personally and professionally, leveraging the powerful combination of EFT and Brady’s insights as a coach has allowed me to leave that stress behind.
Now that she taught me the technique, I use EFT almost every day on my own and the effect is so strong and positive. I never would have thought I could be this productive and motivated without experiencing anxiety or pressure. Feeling the power of truly being in control of my life and my future is incredibly rewarding and I feel luck that I found Brady during this pivotal time in my life. Thank you, Brady!

I can't say enough about the wellness coaching session I had. Brady listened so carefully, asking thoughtful and grounded questions. Several hit the mark. I began to understand the art of regulating energy in a completely different light and I’ve been using what she taught me with great results. I am affected by my work with people in emotional or physical distress. But regardless of where stress comes from, I highly recommend Brady’s wellness coaching session.

I went to see Brady because I have experienced chronic anxiety for a long time. In only four sessions, Brady's work with me provided marked relief of this anxiety. She used EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and several other stress reduction interventions. Brady's kindness, creativity and dedication were a wonderful experience. I have regained a sense of well being and feel more grounded in my life. Our work together was healing and freeing.

II just want to thank you so much for all your help. Without your coaching I am convinced that I would still be in that awful downward spiral. Now thanks to you and EFT, I am more successful in my career, have vastly improved my personal situation and am very happy and able to deal with most bumps in the road. When I first heard about EFT, I thought it was a bit silly and that it couldn’t possibly have any positive effect, but you have shown me that is absolutely not true. I am amazed at how a couple of rounds of it can completely change my attitude and feelings. You have my gratitude along with my immense respect for your professionalism, knowledge and caring.
