Naomi Janzen
Trainer for Professional and Expert Workshops
Biography: My personal story is one of radical shifts and I am passionate about my message: “Become who you are to get what you want out of life”.
I treat everyone I work with as a whole and healthy individual with unique gifts to share, temporarily encumbered by their own unique set of emotional, psychological and physical burdens. To me, the process of becoming who you are is about shedding the layers of trauma, large and small, that cover up the perfection of a truer self. It has been my experience that this stripping away of negative conditioning and uncovering of the authentic self has a cascading effect; the return of personal power is followed by the development of a fuller and more satisfying life. Every trainer brings their unique perspective to their training, based on what they resonate most with. For me, it’s mindfulness and relationships – and the many places those two things intersect – but my goal is to give every student the rock-solid foundation they need, in terms of the practice of and science behind EFT, to use this remarkable tool in the way that best serves them and the people they want to help.

Jan Watkins
Trainer for Professional and Expert Workshops
Biography: A book that I first read as a teen (The Power of the Subconscious Mind) still influences my thinking today regarding the possibility of making quick, effective and lasting changes. Our belief system appears to be held as programming in the subconscious mind capable of limiting our choices. EMDR, EFT, BSFF and other methods can all be used to eliminate negative emotions and replace negative and limiting beliefs in the subconscious mind with more empowering beliefs.
