EFT sessions focus on resolving stress responses linked to specific memories, situations, thoughts, or physical symptoms. Using Official EFT, the original method developed by Gary Craig, we work with precision, calm, and safety to address the underlying stress patterns that contribute to emotional, mental, or physical challenges. Dr. Gabriëlle Rutten is the appointed successor to Gary Craig, founder of EFT, and Director of Novet – The EFT Standard.
A consultation using Official EFT is intended for people who want to work on a specific issue, trigger, stress response, or underlying stress pattern. This may involve stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, physical stress reactions, or recurring patterns linked to particular situations. Sessions may also address the emotional contributors to physical symptoms. Official EFT was developed by Gary Craig and focuses on resolving stress responses associated with specific events, memories, or circumstances.
Gold Standard EFT (Tapping) uses gentle tapping on acupressure points to help disconnect the link between a trigger and the associated stress response. This stress response may be experienced as an emotional or physical reaction in a specific situation. The combination of exposure and tapping forms the foundation of EFT as it became known worldwide.
Depending on the situation, Optimal EFT (Meditation), the meditative form within Official EFT, may also be used. This approach involves a guided meditation and what Gary Craig called 'the Unseen Therapist.' Many people experience this as a deeper state of calm, peace, and emotional well-being.
A consultation may be helpful if you:
Each consultation is personal, practical, and tailored to your individual situation.
EFT coaching is designed for people who want support with personal growth, recurring patterns, or achieving meaningful change. Coaching is often focused on professional, business, performance, or life goals. While an EFT consultation typically addresses specific mental of physical issues, triggers, or stress responses, coaching takes a broader perspective, focusing on behavioural change, personal development, and achieving desired outcomes. Coaching is conducted using Official EFT, the original method developed by Gary Craig.
Within EFT coaching, we may work on:
The focus is not only on gaining insight, but on resolving the stress responses linked to specific situations so that new choices, behaviours, and possibilities can emerge.
In practice, the effectiveness of EFT is not determined by the technique itself, but by the precision with which it is applied and adherence to the original method. Dr. Gabriëlle Rutten, the appointed successor to Gary Craig, founder of EFT, and Director of Novet – The EFT Standard, works according to this original standard and is dedicated to preserving and teaching Official EFT as it was intended.

An EFT consultation is usually focused on specific issues, situations, or stress responses. EFT coaching focuses on behavioural change, personal development, and performance improvement. Both approaches help address recurring patterns and underlying stress patterns, making it easier to integrate positive changes into daily life.
Official EFT refers to the original method developed by Gary Craig, including the precision with which EFT is applied. Official EFT includes both Gold Standard EFT (Tapping) and Optimal EFT (Meditation).
Tapping is part of Gold Standard EFT and refers to the gentle tapping on EFT acupressure points. However, EFT is much more than tapping alone. Official EFT is practiced according to the original method and standard developed by Gary Craig, including specific principles and precision in its application.
Working with the Unseen Therapist is an important principle within Optimal EFT (Meditation), the meditative form of Official EFT. It involves guided meditation and inner attunement to release the stress response associated with a specific situation. Many people experience this as a deeper state of calm, peace, and emotional well-being.
This varies from person to person and depends on the nature of the issue. Some people notice positive changes within just a few sessions, while others choose a longer course of support for recurring patterns or more complex challenges.
The fee for a personal EFT consultation of 60 minutes is $175. EFT coaching is $350 per 90-minute session. During an initial consultation, we will discuss which form of EFT support is best suited to your situation, goals, and needs.
