Hi There !

I'm so excited to have found this Community of Experts! There is much to learn here and lots of fun to be had! First off, I prefer to be called an "Emotional Freedom Coach." It sounds less formal. I basically have received the majority of my teachings from the "School of Hard Knocks". Having a child right out of High School, I spent the majority of my adult life raising myself and my daughter. This was no easy task. I had been convinced by outside sources that there was something wrong with me, therefore was on a search to "fix it". I tried everything that crossed my path. I always knew that when I found "IT" I would then share "IT" with others. I always felt my path was healing and unconditional love. I had many opportunities to explore both extensively. My path of course came full circle to the spirit within. EFT has been a huge help in my personal healing and of those around me. ( Read "Emily's Story" at www.myspace.com/kcbertness ) I find that EFT is a great tool for empowerment. So now on with my true mission, that is sharing with others ! Oh yeah, my "formal" training is in EFT, I have studied Gary Craig's courses and have received both certificates and now get to put Advanced Practitioner by my name...cute eh? I've also attended the Lev I & II EFT workshops and will be attending the final Level III in April. My long term goal is to eventually become an EFT Master and to teach EFT Lev. I, II & III workshops. Have also studied Dr. Patricia Carrington's EFT Choices Method. In developing my own EFT style, I have combined what I learned from Gary Craig and Dr. Carrington with a good size dose of my own Intuition. ;)
