About Coach Reins

 

 

The letter above is not an endorsement from Gary Craig. It is a validation of my background and training to provide you with excellent,  professional training for the "classical, ready to research" Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) as taught and practiced by it's founder.

My training included participation in two exclusive small group trainings led by Gary Craig in 2001 and 2004.  The first was instruction on how to "do" EFT and the second international group training historicized the teaching protocols, content areas and delivery issues for training others at all levels of EFT instruction/consultation. These development trainings were held in Sea Ranch, CA.

My Vision
I believe we perform best when receiving feedback and guidance in a supportive yet challenging relationship. My vision is being a valuable agent in the success of my clients. 

My Mission:

To assist other professionals, owners, managers, directors and key employees, in using more of their mental, emotional and physical potential.
