Where are you from originally?

I am originally from India. My father came as an expat to Thailand when I was 6 years old and he stayed for 20 plus years. My education has been partly in India and Thailand. After my high school graduation from Ruamrudee International School, I went to India for a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Social Work from Delhi University. After completing my graduate degree, I returned to Thailand. I’m married now and have 2 kids, both were born in Thailand. My husband’s parents moved to Thailand when he was a few months old, so Thailand is home to us.

What do you do professionally in Bangkok?

I am an Advanced EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) Practitioner.  EFT is a self help tool that you can learn and apply by themselves for all kinds of physical and emotional issues.

I discovered EFT as I was looking for alternative ways to help myself from an ailment called Costochondritis – an inflammation of a ligament that connects the ribs and breast bones.  I had suffered from this pain for 8 months and after endless visits to the hospitals, physiotherapy sessions, nothing seemed to work. I decided to explore energy therapies. Before EFT, I was introduced to energy therapies like Chakra Diagnoses, Chakra Balancing, and Radical Healing.  But as I learned EFT and started to apply it by myself, I noticed instant relief from pain. After using it for a month not only was I free from all my pain, but EFT started for me a path of self-discovery.  I discovered a deep passion to empower others to help themselves and it is the reason I became an EFT Advanced Practitioner. For me, EFT stands out from the rest of the therapies because it works often where nothing else will. You often get instant results; it is easy to apply by yourself and its “one tool for all problems”.

I have now used EFT with over 200 clients now for all sorts of physical, emotional, relationship, behavior issues, weight issues and also to boost performance at work, sports etc. I regularly conduct topic based workshops, i.e. stress relief, pain management, overcoming relationship blocks, easing pregnancy issues with EFT and lots more.

Can EFT help in everyday life?

EFT is a wonderful tool that my kids (7 and 8 years old), husband and I use every single day for all clearing away “emotional debris” from the day — things that upset us, any aches and pains, any concerns and worries of past or future, stuff at work, at school, at home.

All of us clean up our environment each day in order to operate effectively.  Whether it is brushing our teeth, washing the dishes or washing our car, we spend considerable time each day making sure that debris does not accumulate in our possessions or our bodies.

When it comes to cleaning out emotional debris that is hampering or blocking us from functioning at an optimal level, many neglect or avoid dealing with it.  While we won’t allow a heavy build-up of plaque on our teeth, we think nothing of having buildup of resentments, worries, sadness and other undesirable emotions that accumulate in our minds.

Daily emotional cleansing can help free you from limiting thoughts and feelings.  It also helps you to releases and let go past events which caused emotional scar. Repressed emotions create imbalance in the body system. Left unresolved can often lead to dis-ease and disharmony. Used daily, EFT helps create happiness, peace, personal power and boosts your immunity.

All you have to do is simply tap with your fingertips on 8-9 key acupuncture points as you think or go through in your mind about all the things that upset you/bothered you/worried you today. You can watch the free videos showing the tapping sequence on my website http://www.eftthailand.com/videos.html

You can do a ‘daily emotional cleansing’  by using it with one or more of the physical cleansing rituals that you regularly do, such as shower time, after brushing your teeth.  Linking it to these already established rituals will make you much less apt to forget using EFT on a regular basis.

What are your hobbies?

I love reading, music, dancing, gardening, cycling, and spending ‘quiet time’ with myself

Any networking tips?

I am a member of the Business Network International (BNI) the largest referral networking organization in the world. I am also a member of BNOW. I have to say that for me ‘networking’ has opened many doors to reach out to people. The most important thing I’ve learned about networking is that it’s not about just an exchanging business cards activity over a few drinks; it’s more about building trust and long term mutually beneficial business relationships by providing valuable service with integrity.
