Why I’m Archiving My Level 1/2 + 3 Somatic EFT™ Workshops

I recorded a quick audio to answer exactly

  • Why I’m archiving the self studies

  • what makes this version of the training different than other accredited workshops

  • what you’ll find inside the course

  • how speedy (1 month via my 2 weekly emails) or spacious (lifetime) you can make your pace

  • what you need to know if you want to enroll before they’re gone (Sep 27th).

A voice memo from Jackie

Why am I taking a break after 10 years of back-to-back cohorts?

  • I’ve taught the Level 1 + 2 and Level 3 workshops for the last 10 years at Esalen, at my home, digitally on Zoom, as four or five-day intensives, or dripped out over months.

  • In year 1, I taught techniques using my boss’ PowerPoints. I learned so much from teaching.

  • Students were learning 50 new EFT skills, but how do you stop a talking client and segue into tapping? In year 3, I redesigned my training to be client-centric instead of technique-centric so they could confidently listen to the client cues that led naturally into each technique.

  • But what if a client couldn’t feel, couldn’t remember a root event, or jumped to a different event as soon as you landed the plane? In year 4, I created an Advanced Practice intensive to demo and practice these sticky client scenarios.

  • But what if the client didn’t have trauma, but their grandfather survived the Holocaust, their mother was adopted, or they were born into a culture that repetitively demeaned them? This is where things got juicy. In year 5, I launched my first advanced training that included Ancestral Healing and Inner Child work.

  • Working with thousands, I saw (and so did you) that many of our feelings are NOT ours. We may have forgiven our parents, but our Inner Child is still wounded. We might have a great relationship with our parent, but as a kid they left scars. How do we work on layered, unprocessed, or preverbal feelings? This was the heart of the Level 3 workshop I launched.

  • It was very hard to teach Inner Child + womb work + advanced accredited EFT at my old company, so I moved to EFT International, where they gave me more flexibility in bringing my own trauma-informed Inner Child flavor to the trainings.

  • I also realized that most people leave an EFT workshop with a toolkit of hundreds of new techniques, but they only end up tapping for 20 minutes of the session. Why? Most clients talk a mile a minute, it can feel rude to cut them off, or as soon as you find an event, they jump to another. So the first day of my Level 3 workshop became getting confident with a dozen advanced strategies taught nowhere else to honor a client’s need to be seen while also politely interrupting and redirecting so you can get to the root before the end of the session.

  • Beyond the science, strategy, and client-centric focus, your girl had to make the training more pen-and-paper-person friendly. I made the first-ever training manuals, all over 100 pages and filled with beautiful illustrations, space to write, and pieces to reflect on your own growth.

  • I’ve found so much joy in teaching my Somatic EFT™ Workshops. Each workshop maintains the integrity of those 48 Level 1 + 2 techniques, but brings in the visual, client-centric, deeply somatic and embodied approach that I’ve developed over the last 10 years.

  • There are tons of other amazing practitioners who teach the accredited Level 1 + 2 techniques and the accredited Level 3 techniques. You can always go train with them! The students who choose me want that client-centric, visual, deeply somatic, Inner Child, womb-work-woven flavor of accredited tapping.

  • Where else can someone train you in Somatic EFT™? Nowhere. I founded Somatic EFT™ to encapsulate all of the above.
