Who this is for

Where are you starting from?

This training is built for three different kinds of people. If one of these sounds like you, you're in the right place.

You're already working with clients and want to add EFT to what you do.

  • Talk therapy has limits. Your clients need something that reaches the body, not just the mind.
  • EFT fills the gap. It works at the nervous system level where most approaches stop.
  • Add it to what you already do. No need to start over. EFT enhances every modality.

You're new to EFT and want to do this properly from the start.

  • You already know it works. Now get the credentials to charge for it professionally.
  • Stop giving it away for free. Your knowledge has real value. This training makes it official.
  • Build a practice around what you love. Accreditation opens doors that enthusiasm alone cannot.

You're ready to leave your current work and build something of your own.

  • Meaningful work is not a fantasy. EFT practitioners build real, sustainable incomes.
  • Flexible hours, premium rates. Work from anywhere, set your own schedule.
  • People need what you will learn. Anxiety, stress, and trauma are everywhere. Trained practitioners are not.
The training

What you'll learn

Level 1

EFT on yourself

The 9 core EFT techniques that form the foundation of clinical practice. You'll learn the science, the protocols, and how to apply them effectively to your own emotional and physical issues. This is the essential foundation for working with anyone else.

Level 2

EFT with clients

How to apply EFT on others in a safe, therapeutic context. Covers client management, working with difficult presentations, and how to explain EFT clearly and honestly to people who are new to it.

Extras

Beyond the fundamentals

Additional techniques for working with guilt, relationships, and physical pain. Traditional Chinese Medicine theory as it applies to EFT. A practice-building business module, plus case study demonstrations and pre-recorded 1-on-1 sessions.

What Students Say

Real results from real practitioners.

I have been practising as a counsellor for twelve years. Adding EFT through this training changed the way I work with every single client. The results are faster and deeper than anything I had used before.

Venice L.

Venice L.

Counsellor, Australia

I was sceptical about EFT before I started. By module three I was using it on myself every day. By the end I had my first paying client. The training is thorough, practical and completely self-paced.

The Chinese medicine component alone is worth the entire course fee. I have never seen EFT taught with this depth of understanding of the body and the nervous system.

Venice Harris
EFT Practitioner Training student

"I had been doing EFT tapping for a few years before I decided to go deeper and enroll in this program. Very impressed with Michael's explanation of EFT. The course is well-structured and easy to follow. I now offer EFT Tapping to my clients alongside my massage, Reiki and other healing modalities."

Helen Germin
Massage therapist and healer

"As a practising psychiatrist with over 25 years of clinical experience, I see EFT as the most promising new treatment I've ever encountered. The potential applications of this deceptively simple technique are limitless."

Dr Leskowitz
Psychiatrist, 25+ years clinical experience
What researchers and physicians say

"In my 49 years of helping people deal with trauma, EFT is the easiest, quickest, and the surest way through pain to a brighter future. It can happen in minutes."

Dr Melanie Gold, physician

Standout inclusion

3 x 1-on-1 coaching calls with Michael

Personal, scheduled calls with Michael Hetherington at key points in your training. Use them to work through questions, practise techniques, or get guidance on building your practice. Most EFT training programs at this price point offer nothing like this.

Worth $800 USD

This training is not for everyone

  • Those who need ongoing personal therapy rather than professional training
  • People who can't commit around 2 to 3 hours a week to the program
  • Anyone looking for a quick fix; EFT requires real practice to develop genuine competence
  • Those with severe, active mental health conditions who would benefit from seeing a licensed therapist first
Included bonuses

When you enrol today, you also get

3 Days of Live EFT Training Replays

Worth $500

Worth $1000+

A business guidebook and training series covering how to attract clients, package your services, and build a sustainable healing practice. Includes six profitable niches you can work in immediately, with guidance on pricing and positioning your work online and in person.

Introduction to Hypnotic Language Patterns for EFT

Most practitioners talk their clients through sessions using language that doesn't quite land. This module covers the specific phrases that help people drop in and follow along, from EFT scripts to guided relaxation and somatic awareness work.

A Qi Gong Practice for Practitioners

A follow-along Qi Gong sequence designed to support your own energy and focus as a practitioner. Working with clients' nervous systems asks something of your own. This practice is a simple, effective way to resource yourself before and after sessions.

How to Run EFT Tapping Circles

Worth $200

EFT Practitioner - Chinese medicine acupuncturist - Educator - The Taoist Tapper on YouTube

I first started experimenting with EFT in my acupuncture clinic and was blown away by its speed and effectiveness, particularly with emotional issues like stress and anxiety.

I enrolled in practitioner training and spent the following years treating clients, studying, and teaching. Over time, one thing became clear: the gap most practitioners struggled with was not technique. It was building a practice that could sustain them.

That's why the business module is part of this training. You can know EFT inside out and still not have clients. This program covers both.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

No. The training is fully self-paced and the materials are available to you immediately on enrolment. There are no scheduled live sessions to attend. Everything is laid out step by step in the student area so you can move through it at your own pace.

Around 2 to 3 hours of focused study per week is the recommended workload. At that pace, most students complete the program within 3 months. You have lifetime access, so if you need more time that is fine. Some students prefer to move slowly through the material, and that works too.

The course is designed to be completable in 3 months at around 2 to 3 hours a week, but all students have lifetime access. If life gets busy or you want to revisit sections later, the materials will always be there. The only time-sensitive window is the 14-day refund guarantee at the start.

Yes, at a foundational level. The training covers trauma identification, basic trauma-informed approaches, and beginner-level techniques for working with trauma responses using EFT. This gives you a solid foundation for trauma-aware practice. If you want to specialise in trauma specifically, you would supplement this with dedicated trauma-focused training such as Peter Levine's somatic programs.
