It can be kind of sad when you know you can help people, but you don’t have all the expected credentials. This can mean you’ll be labeled a fraud and sued for misrepresentation.
I am not certified in energy psychology (Tapping/EFT), but I am very good at it. I’m “a natural” as the saying goes. However, the real reason I don’t have the certification is because one of my teachers told me I didn’t need it. She had gone through the training and didn’t feel it was worth it; that I could learn by practice and mentorship which was the relationship we had. Although she passed on, she shined a light for me on Tapping that has never dimmed.
I am a member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology. They sponsor courses and conferences that I have yet to attend in person. And I am insured through the Energy Medicine Professional Association (which also covers my other healing arts — hand-healing and aromatherapy).
There is value in association with colleagues in the energy healing world and I take my relationships with Tappers, Oilers/aromatherapists, and Reiki energy and hand healers very seriously.
My online teachers over the years have included Dawson Church, Margaret Lynch, Jessica Orton and her brother as well as Gary Craig, founder of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). My recent in-person guide is Jondi Whitis, teacher of Rapid Regulation and Relief and coauthor of a book of first aid energy tips to use with children.
I am blessed to have experienced the wisdom of these trail-blazers. In part because of their teachings and my learning from them, I became licensed to teach holistic health in the state of New York. (For the past 15 years, in New Jersey where I live, I’ve been an ordained minister-practitioner— which means I can use my hands and anointing procedures to support the physical healing of congregants.)
As a former college administrator and instructor, I feel I have a combination of professional and life experiences to carry through the HealMobile mission to assist caregiver/leaders to become equipped in practicing the healing arts on self and others.
I won’t rule out ever being certified as a Tapping specialist or trainer. Right now, the truth is the light. I am offering peace to life and the Most High Innermost in the best way that I can.
