About

Jessica

Certified Advanced EFT Practitioner, Master Trainer

Like many of us, I never paid much attention to my mental game or reducing my stress until I started to need to.

Being someone who ate a healthy diet, played competitive sports, and was considered very "healthy," didn't make me immune to stress, injuries, or the challenges of everyday life.

Over the years of navigating burnout, post-concussion symptoms and, of course, regular life stresses - one of the things that came my way was EFT Tapping.

I was a definite skeptic and I never would have tried tapping had I not been hoodwinked into it!

EFT stood out from the beginning as being totally different from everything else I'd tried. It actually delivered impressive results and I still use it all the time.

Sports and the outdoors have always been my passion.

These days, I'm an avid rock climber who has climbed across North America. I appreciate getting to explore the Rocky Mountains around Calgary and learn new sports all the time. I also did martial arts over a period of about 16 years, including competitively. (So I get the need to have a strong mental game!! 😳)

I hold a B. Sc. Honours from UBC in Global Resource Systems and, as a multi-passionate person, also have a background in environmental sciences. Most of my EFT work has been with folks from all walks of life to help them manage their stress and resolve the impacts of trauma. It's been a meaningful evolution of my career to get to work with other athletes / lovers of movement to help them excel.

EFT can provide some really impressive results and I love getting to see those happen before my clients' eyes!

How I Work

These are the theories and themes that guide our work together.

Polyvagal Theory is a way of understanding some of the deepest parts of the human psyche/experience, ironically through our biology. It gives us insight into our automatic reactions - why we get anxious, fearful, overwhelmed and shut down - despite knowing better. Polyvagal Theory teaches us that the nervous system is the source of our felt sense of safety and connection with other people. And it's also the source of the anxious thinking, negative thought loops, stress in the body, and so on, when it's in fight-flight-freeze or fawn modes. Solutions that come from connection and the body will have a greater effect on the nervous system than just thinking different thoughts.

Parts work is a great way to get access to the subconscious mind and generate greater compassion for ourselves. We treat unwanted feelings, thoughts and behaviours as coming from a "Part" of us - could be an inner child or inner protector, for example. This Part of us is just trying to keep us safe, and help us avoid pain. With tapping, we can release the emotional charge held by our parts. This allows our real self to come back online, leading us from a place of wisdom, integrity and compassion.

We may wonder if we're neurotic for being so good at ruminating or seeing the glass as half-empty. The Psychological Injury model encourages us to look at all of these traits as adaptations to psychological wounds. We ruminate perhaps because it was always left up to us to fix everything - we haven't learned how to ask for help, or use better tools. We're pessimistic because things did turn out badly at one point, and we sure learned that lesson! We're not lazy, crazy, stupid or flawed. Psychological wounds change our behaviour and thinking - and we still have access to healing them and resetting the pattern.

Positive psychology teaches us it's not just about focussing on what's wrong. Just as important is to know who you are; your strengths, what matters to you, and what you really want out of life. And it empowers you to live into your potential, even before you've fixed every last thing about yourself. Think of it as an antidote to toxic positivity.

Looking for more detail on my qualifications?

I’ve studied to become an EFT Practitioner with a variety of professional EFT Trainers in both Canada and the US.

My Level 1 and 2 training was accredited by the American Psychological Association for Clinical EFT. I completed my advanced certification at the National EFT Training Institute (Canada) where I focused on trauma-informed delivery of tapping techniques. In addition, I’ve voluntarily completed 3 speciality EFT courses on working with trauma, offered by trainers in the clinical community.

My Advanced EFT Practitioner certification work involved completing supervised practice sessions, submitting case studies for professional review, completing an independent research project, documenting 50 practice sessions for mentoring, writing an exam, and receiving ample 1-to-1 mentoring.

In order to maintain good standing with EFT International, I do additional continuing education training every year, and continue to receive ongoing professional mentoring. And I love doing this!

In 2022, I completed three years of work toward becoming an accredited Master Trainer. This allows me to train and certify future EFT practitioners according to the standards set out by EFT International. You can sign up to be notified of upcoming trainings here.

In my former life, I earned a degree from the University of British Columbia. I worked for a number of years in the environmental science field, in research, NGO work, and federal and local governments.

I’ve worked with counsellors, teachers, stay-at-home parents, retirees, entrepreneurs, health care professionals, the NGO/non-profit sector, public service employees, and others from all sorts of walks of life.

I’ve provided services to the Vancouver Island Health Authority, the Canadian Armed Forces Military Family Resource Centre, and have special made special rates available for groups and organizations, including BC School Districts. (Contact me if your organization would be interested.)

I regularly receive professional mentoring, which I think I can credit with helping my clients get faster results, even while all of us are so different! I'm also enthusiastic about bringing in other approaches, and draw heavily from positive psychology, Polyvagal Theory, attachment theory and, most recently, Gretchen Ruben's work on productivity and management.

I also was a volunteer member of EFT International's Training and Accreditation Board, where I helped to update and improve the global training standards for EFT.
