"Sarah really helped me to overcome my frustration with my lack of success in trying to conceive. The session taught me to face up to my fears and anger and to acknowledge them, but not to be bothered by them. This has really helped me accept a lot more of what I am going through and I am really grateful for her help. Thanks Sarah!!"

"It was hard to believe how quickly EFT worked for me. I had trouble dealing day to day with issues surrounding my infertility problems. Just thinking about them brought up so much anger and frustration and in particular jealousy towards other women who were pregnant or had babies. After one session of EFT I felt all the anger, frustration and jealousy lift. I'm definitely much more relaxed now and people have even commented that I seem happier."

"By nature I am a very anxious person and was aware that stress and anxiety can have an effect of fertility. Sarah helped me to identify my feelings of panic and fear at not being able to conceive naturally and also addressed my feelings of envy for friends who conceived easily. After one 90 minute telephone session with Sarah I was surprised by the change in my outlook to conceiving. I had recognised feelings I couldn’t put my finger on and managed to reduce these to insignificant issues for me! I am now feeling far more positive about the journey I am on in order to have family of my own and hoping for a blue line soon!"
I am pleased to report that all three of the ladies above who kindly wrote testimonials are now mothers for the first time!

In the event I had my boy at hospital - and the labour was twice as long as I was expecting! "She also helped me with what I was really dreading, the night-time wakings, and my inability to keep my patience as a result. My son is now 8 months old and I've never once shouted at him in the middle of the night. I wish I'd had EFT before my daughter was born, and I might have been able to say the same for her as a baby."

"I decided to try EFT as I had become very worried about the impending birth of my first child. Several weeks before he was due, I realised that I was worrying obsessively about not being able to cope with the pain and the thought of assisted delivery or needing stitches. The idea of stitches had always worried me, even before I became pregnant, but I would say that it had become a phobia by the third trimester. Following the stillbirth of a friend's child, I was also worried about losing our son at the birth - particularly as I had suffered a miscarriage shortly before conceiving him. I think it would be accurate to say that by the time I contacted Sarah, I was a nervous wreck!
"In our first phone call we dealt with the issues of stitches, assisted delivery, losing the baby and worries about pain. The call took an hour and although I was initially very sceptical, I realised that the tapping was having a real affect on my anxious state. We identified that my key points were around the eyes and by the time I had tapped them, I was relaxing and becoming calmer very quickly. I can't stress how worried I was about stitches before this call, I was thinking about them all the time and this issue was the one I needed to work on the most.
|
"I had my second session 2 days later. Sarah asked
me what my thoughts on my prior worries were. It
then occurred to me that I had not given them a
second thought since that initial phone call! I was
very surprised as I didn't think EFT would work so
well. "When I had my son, a few days later, I did, in fact, need stitches. However instead of becoming extremely anxious and upset, I was able to accept they were necessary, they were no longer the huge issue they had previously been. I also discovered that I felt able to cope with the thought and reality of pain and wasn't frightened of it which gave me a better basis upon which to make decisions about analgesia. "I would recommend the use of EFT. The speed at which it worked and fact it can be done over the phone made it ideal for me to use in the final stages of my pregnancy. I also feel I have learnt and important coping tool for future worries."

"A couple of months before my due date, Sarah and I were chatting about her website and I read about EFT being used for pain relief. I was already familiar with EFT, and we started discussing if it could be used for labour. My previous experience of labour, although positive, was still on my mind. There were aspects of it that I knew I could have handled differently if I'd felt more in control, calmer and less panicky. I knew that would have made the pain seem less severe and so on. I also had numerous worries about the impending birth of my second baby, including seemingly ridiculous things like how I would cope with the journey to the hospital and people looking at me if we were stuck in a traffic jam!
"I had a single EFT session with Sarah where we went through my fears. It didn't take that long, and was all done over the telephone. I came off the phone and my only worry was that I wasn't worrying anymore! In the remaining weeks between then and the birth, I practised EFT and chatted to Sarah every so often about how things were going.

"The labour itself was amazing. Two hours after contractions had started, I
was left alone for over an hour as my husband went to work. I got through
this time using a tens machine and repeatedly going through the EFT routine,
reminding myself of it, and using it to keep myself relaxed. I was amazed
that I didn't panic or start worrying about the possibility of giving birth
alone! I then spent much of the journey to hospital laughing, and my friend
and the midwife both commented on how calm I was once I was admitted. I had
the same midwife as I'd had during my previous labour, so she knew how
differently I was dealing with it. There wasn't a single point during the
labour where I felt frightened or that I couldn't cope with the pain, and I
just went with each contraction in turn. I'm sure the EFT had something to
do with this, as I hadn't done any other preparation for the birth. I was
still feeling in control when it came to pushing, and was calm enough to
follow the midwife's instructions through this important part of delivery.
Megan was born quite uneventfully and the only thing I am having difficulty
getting my head around this time is how smoothly it all went! I can't thank
Sarah enough."

"I had an EFT session over the phone two weeks before my due date, which really helped me to deal with a lot of anxieties about the birth. We talked about the various things that were worrying me and then Sarah talked me through the technique, and it was amazing to feel the anxiety actually lifting. The technique is so simple that I was able to use it in the run-up to the birth any time I felt nervous or worried, which was a real help.
"On the morning of the day I gave birth my waters broke at 7.00 am, and the midwives told me that I'd have to go into the hospital to be monitored by 7.00 pm if contractions hadn't started beforehand. I was really set on a home birth so the thought of even just setting foot in the hospital got me all anxious. I did a round of EFT and began to feel much calmer about that, and anything that calms your spirit in labour has to be good!
|
"When the contractions did start, at 2.00 pm, I was able to use parts of the EFT technique
to help me deal with the pain. It made me feel very empowered and able to accept the
life-giving force of the pains, and open up and get carried along by them, rather than
resisting and tensing up. "In the end I had the home birth I had always dreamed of. My labour lasted only two and a half hours from start to finish, and beautiful baby Giacomo was born after only about five pushes at 4.38 pm on Sunday 2 January. My midwife said that labours that proceed so well, and so fast, when all the conditions are right - not just physically but above all psychologically, and I know that EFT definitely contributed to my psychological well-being before and during labour."
