How it all started
While at a garage sale in the mid 1990’s, I came across a tape series by Anthony Robbins called “Unlimited Power.” Because I was having
problems in my marriage, I began using the principles I learned from this series in my relationship and started seeing results! This sparked my
interest in NLP and I started training with a trainer here in Oklahoma City. What started out as me wanting to help my wife and my marriage
ended up as a desire to help others, to make a difference in the world. I embarked on my journey and began studying all the material I could
find about how the mind works and how to make profound changes in life.
EFT
Through my NLP studies, I was introduced to and became interested in Gary Craig’s EFT. I purchased both courses Gary had at the time and
started using what I was learning. In fact, the first person I ever tapped on was Amanda, and we were able to tap away her fear of heights in
just an afternoon! I’m forever grateful to Amanda for being my guinea pig. My success with her led me to start tapping on anyone who would
let me.
Improving and experimenting
Not long after this, I enrolled in massage therapy school, which helped me understand the mind-body connection. I started using EFT in
school and adding to it. At the time, Gary Craig would tell his students to “improve EFT” so I started experimenting with just how I could do
that. I encountered problems that EFT alone didn’t seem to solve, so I began adding some of the other techniques I was learning to it. This is
when I discovered that resistance is the key – when you find resistance, you’ve found the problem.
Studying, studying, studying….everything!
I continued with my training and studied everything I could get my hands on related to the workings of the mind: Dr. Larry Nims’ four tapping
process, BSFF, NLP, EFT, Psych-K, Touch and Breathe, and TFT to name a few. I then started to distill all this information into an easier to
understand form for myself. Through this process, FasterEFT began to take shape. It developed organically as a result of blending and
practicing all these various modalities together to see what worked best.
From EFT to a new modality
I truly thought I was practicing EFT for many years but eventually realized that I wasn’t. That’s when I coined the term FasterEFT…because
what I was doing worked faster than EFT. I did not realize at the time I was creating a new modality, nor was it specifically my intention to do
so. But I am grateful for it.
I started giving trainings
In the early 2000’s, I started presenting the information I had learned to small groups in the Oklahoma City area. Then in 2008, I gave my very
first Level I training with just 10 people. From there, it grew, and less than 10 years later, I have watched the class size grow to 10 times that!
It’s humbling to think back on how this all started…and how it has grown. I now present these trainings to audiences all over the world. I never
imagined I would be doing that when I started on this journey.

I feel blessed
I continue to study and learn as much as I can about how the mind
works. All changes start there, after all. As I learn, I enjoy incorporating
new techniques into FasterEFT to make it even more powerful than it
already is. And here we are today, 8 years later, gathered together,
from all walks of life. Just look around the room at all the people here.
I feel blessed to be here with you, doing what we all
can to make a difference in this world we live
in….one tap at a time!
