Tapping with Jules

09/01/2025

I am delighted to congratulate Teresa in completing her certification in EFT.

She has been a dedicated & enthusiastic mentee, doing lots of her own work along the way whilst supporting many others.

I love it when mental health professionals embrace Clinical EFT the way Teresa has, as it keeps the standards high, promoting safe, gentle and effective practice.

Here is Teresa's own introduction:

I was introduced to EFT by my colleague and keenly signed up for my first Level 1 & 2 training with Jules in February 2020.
I remember feeling like I had ‘come home’ it just resonated with me so much and made so much sense.

Unfortunately, Covid arrived and interrupted that journey and eventually in February 2023 I joined Jules signature training The Bubble - Trauma Informed Training in Clinical EFT, which inspired me to go on to do my Certification.

I have loved learning about EFT and further developing my understanding of emotional health and wellbeing.

My background is in Occupational Therapy and Counselling and for me, Clinical EFT brings together the best of our knowledge and understanding of how the body and mind works, to deliver this simple yet sophisticated technique.

I am so excited by EFT because of its effectiveness and the strong scientific evidence base that supports it. I know it works, I’ve experienced it for myself and I have witnessed it in others.
Clinical EFT is such a gentle safe way to be with our pain, access our self-compassion and connect with our own wisdom and strength.

Learning about trauma and its effects upon the body has been a game changer for me both personally and professionally. I love how EFT increases our awareness, empowering us to manage stressful situations more effectively and be in the present moment.

And that to me is truly emotional freedom!!

I love that it is such a gentle technique and that the client retains authority on themselves increasing self-belief and confidence. The client chooses what they want to focus on, the therapist guides the process and the client discovers their truth.

Seeing my clients so delighted by the changes they have made, and hearing how they have been able to respond to previously stressful situations in a calm way is so inspiring.

I am so excited to be sharing this effective technique with others.
I am deeply grateful to Jules for nurturing my love and understanding of EFT, encouraging me all the way and providing this quality Certification training.

Her knowledge, experience and compassionate understanding of people and the effects of trauma is exceptional.

Her detailed feedback on each and every session is a testament to her personal commitment to bringing safe trauma informed EFT to the world and I feel so privileged to have trained with her.
Thank you Jules.

Join Renai and I at Woolgoolga Beach this Friday morning 6.12. at a nice early time slot this time.

6am - 7am to suit the working person better.

Come along and learn some simple evidence based techniques, so you can:

* reduce your stress response quickly and easily
* regulate your emotions anywhere, anytime
* learn about your nervous system and how to help yourself when feeling stressed or activated
* ground yourself in a beautiful natural setting
* connect with your own body/mind system
* connect with others interested in learning how to help themselves too.

These regular group sessions have been absolutely amazing. People are learning skills they can use in their every day life to lower their stress hormones
including their cortisol levels.

When using these self-help tools yourself, they are fast, effective, safe, gentle, natural (no drugs) and FREE.

And who doesn't need some of that at this time of year.

Hope to see you there, please feel free to share.

I am beyond proud to congratulate Rhianna Grimley on completing her certification in EFT.

With some stopping & starting along the way, I was not sure she would get there, as most people her age are busy working & partying.

But she did it!

Rhi has shown what determination she has, & great commitment to and passion for EFT. She supported many others in her cohort along the way, bringing the community together.

What I most love is that someone so young as Rhi is certified in EFT & offering it to other young people too.

As a trainer this has been one of my goals, to see more and more young people (and they always seem to be women) learning, embracing and using EFT Tapping to help themselves, and even better to help others.

So thanks Rhi, we have helped each other with a goal in you achieving this milestone.

I look forward to seeing you blossom and grow in your own practice. If you can do this, you can do anything!
Much love to you!

Her own intro:

I discovered EFT/tapping about 3 years when I was lucky enough to receive a free session from Jules herself. I was shocked with how effective the results were & quickly realised the importance of using a somatic approach.

I finished my studies at university completing a Bachelor of Social Welfare. I started working at headspace at a Youth Access Clinician & found my love with working with young people.

After spending time working in talk therapy, I quickly realised how re-traumatizing it was for young people to come into the clinic & share their experiences, only to be referred to another service & have to tell their story all over again.

What I love about EFT is how gentle & safe it is. It is truly a trauma informed practice that gently allows the client to express without discomfort.

I love that it involves the body, it seems crazy not to as we know the body keeps score!

When using the body we can explore deeper thoughts, feelings & subconscious emotions. This helps to address the root cause, rather than just the symptoms.

I completed my EFT certification EFT with Jules October 2024. It was nothing but a supportive & positive experience. Jules is highly trained & I love her trauma informed approach to clinical EFT. I feel privileged that Jules was my trainer & mentor.

Currently, I am working as a young carer peer facilitator covering the whole region from New England to Byron Bay. I facilitate online & face to face programs for young carers who are caring for a loved one or friend.

I wish to continue working with young people in my own EFT/tapping practice, as working with young people is a chance to shape the future in a meaningful way. EFT empowers young people to reach their full potential.

Tap, Talk and Barefoot Beach Walk this morning was lovely. The weather was perfect, & we had 9 women show up at Jetty beach and 5 at the new venue Woolgoolga Beach.

The same people keep coming back at the Jetty; they are enjoying learning how to re-train their mind body systems out of fight / flight / freeze state & towards more regulation in the nervous system.

They are using tapping when they cannot sleep, when they feel anxious at work, when they are upset by a family member.

An hour of tapping on acupressure points in any way has a powerful impact on the physiology of the human body.

We focus alternately on a "negative" event, thoughts, emotions & sensations, then we balance that with noticing pleasant sounds, sights, feelings, sensations.

By doing this in a beautiful outdoor setting, in a group of other humans, people notice they are then able to absorb MORE of the natural beauty in Nature.

This tile shows the most recent research done by Dr. Peta Stapleton in 2020; a randomized controlled trial which demonstrated the effect of Clinical EFT on stress biochemistry.

They tested the salivary cortisol of participants before and after 3 different interventions.

One group did EFT Tapping in a group.
One group were given some psychoeducation on stress.
And a third group read magazines.

The EFT Tapping group experienced a reduction in salivary cortisol by 43%.

The psychoeducation group experienced a 19% reduction in cortisol - which for all my EFT mentees, goes to show how important psychoeducation is!

And the group who read magazines experienced an INCREASE in their salivary cortisol levels of 2 %.

So this research shows that what we are we doing when tapping in a group really IS beneficial, it is changing the biochemistry.

When I look at all those people this morning, basking in the sun, looking so chilled out, I am looking at bodies who are noticing the benefits of lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

I can SEE it. They can FEEL this.

It's not woo woo, it works.

Come along next week for our last week at the jetty.

Weather looks good tomorrow morning for week 5 of Tap, Talk and Barefoot Beach Walk at jetty beach 6am - 7am with Jules and Amanda.

And week 1 at Woolgoolga Beach!
7am - 8am with Renai.

So come along for free and learn some simple ways to:

🪴regulate your nervous system,
🪴quieten your busy mind,
🪴connect with your body.

Whilst grounding yourself in a beautiful natural setting. 🌅

See you there!

Episode 2 of PEP Talks with Jules
is about how EFT Tapping helps with Carer Stress and Compassion Fatigue.

This conversation is with Susan Christoffelsz, a counsellor and Certified EFT Practitioner on my team at Clinical EFT Connect.

It’s great to hear these authentic stories people are sharing about their “before EFT” struggles and then comparing how they cope with that same stress now that they have EFT as a “constant companion” - an excellent stress management tool.

I’m grateful to Susan for sharing her story, as these Passionate Everyday People talking about how EFT helps them is going to really help others understand how practical and effective EFT is.

Get in touch if you want to do some Clinical EFT sessions with Susan.

Something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, I finally have the time and capacity to do. 🥳🥳🥳

This is Eden talking about how EFT has helped her with long-term anxiety, and how she continues to use it to regulate her nervous system.

She also shares how she uses EFT as a primary school teacher to help the kids in the classroom to regulate and focus.

We are all doing this to help people who have never tried EFT understand the many benefits EFT offers when used in both therapeutic settings with a practitioner, and as an awesome self help tool.
