<Some Response & Feedback from Students>

  • “I find myself continually returning to is the tapping technique we learned. It is becoming more and more of a habit. For example, during exams when I am feeling stressed, I like to do the brushing motion between my hands. That specific rhythm helps me focus and recall information I had studied.”
  • “A guest speaker who left a lasting great impression on me was the one who presented the tapping via Zoom. Her lecture was during the Helen hurricane, a stressful time with all the rain and thunderstorms, and learning about this technique immediately reduced my stress level at that time.” 
  • “The Tapping technique is cool! I used to have acupuncture, and I was very curious and excited to learn how certain small spots of our bodies could be so critical to our wellbeing.”
