This workshop will introduce participants to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a mind-body modality that puts the power of stress relief into your own hands. Join us to learn how it works and experience guided Tapping sequences to calm the nervous system. You will also learn ways to practice Tapping effectively and safely in different situations with an emphasis on challenges faced by caregiving professionals.
