ABUSE: Childhood Trauma

I took my first EFT session with Martin with the idea that it would help me deal with everyday stress. Very early in the session, I began experiencing a tightness in my chest and throat.

Through EFT, it came through that there were incidents of abuse in my early childhood which I had suppressed all these years. I could not believe that Martin was able to bring to the surface through EFT, events that took place 55 years before. After the session, I felt a great sense of relief and the feeling of tightness in the chest and throat went and never returned. I am grateful for what EFT did for me.

ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS

I received Martin’s EFT pamphlet in my mailbox, quickly looked it over and then set it aside. A couple weeks later I was having an extremely bad day and thought I had to do something. I picked up the pamphlet again, read it through and then went onto his website and read that as well. I was at a very desperate point and decided I had nothing to lose and I called and made my first appointment.

For the last four years I have been trying to deal with the loss of two of my immediate family members. There is a lot of guilt and anxiety that I have been carrying for a long time. I have been suffering from regular anxiety attacks (one a week on a good week) and depression. Having been on different medications and not getting the desired results, I have to admit I was a little skeptical about EFT.

I went to the appointment anyway. Martin explained the technique to me and answered my questions. When we sat down for my session I was still nervous but Martin is so good at what he does he makes it easy for you to relax and work through what is going on. I left my first session stunned. It was as if this huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I remember walking out and being totally amazed at that feeling. I didn’t care if it only lasted two days. It was the best I have felt in years. About a week later I did have another anxiety attack. I was a little disappointed but Martin explained that I would likely need more than one session. I went to my next session and left feeling better again. I have had four sessions of EFT in the last two months and have not had another anxiety attack. I still do get anxious at times but I can deal with that. This is the first time in four years that I have been able to go for any period of time without having to take my anti-anxiety medication. I am so excited about what Martin and EFT has done for me. I believe in this technique and I would recommend it to anyone. It really works! I want to thank you Martin because I believe it is as much about you as it is EFT. If you couldn’t deliver it with the compassion and care that you do, I don’t think I would have gotten the results I have.

ANXIETY

During the last 2 years I have used EFT on myself with modest results. I felt I needed help to go further. At my first appointment with Martin, we chose one of the areas of concern: when I stood up in church to sing a hymn, sometimes I would become light-headed or dizzy. I would either not sing, or if it was severe, I would sit down. Sometimes I had a similar feeling when standing in a crowd. I would feel weak, and need to sit down or leave. After the session with Martin, I have been able to stand and sing the hymns in church--singing all the verses with no problem. There was no difficulty singing, and enjoying the music. The anxiety has not returned. The session left me feeling very calm and relaxed. EFT has been very helpful.

ARTHRITIS

EFT has helped me relieve the pain and stiffness of arthritis in my fingers. After one treatment, I am able to do the tapping on my own, and it has reduced the pain considerably.

ARTHRITIS

I have suffered from arthritis for many years now and have tried a variety of treatments, many of which have had side effects. I am quite skeptical of most things now, but am always willing to try something new, in hopes that I will find a treatment, or at least something that alleviates the pain. I was really interested when Martin explained the premise of EFT. After attending one of his seminars where I received a sample of treatment, I was delighted with the results. I had severe pain in my right hand and thumb joint for several years, and after a few moments of treatment, I was only slightly aware of the arthritis at all. This was just with one sample treatment. This is amazing. I think this therapy is going to be the miracle that many of us are looking for. It is exciting and I am looking forward to achieving more results with Martin.
Sarah, Woodstock, ON.

ARTHRITIS

I have a very aggressive case of rheumatoid arthritis and always have pain somewhere in my body, mainly in my hands, wrists and elbows. When I heard about EFT, I was skeptical, having spent a lot of money on many different things that just didn't work. I decided to try it just once with Martin, mainly out of curiosity, as I was unfamiliar with this type of treatment. What a surprise! I was amazed at how quickly my pain just disappeared. After only a very few minutes the pain in my right wrist went away, then my left wrist, my elbows and my hands. Now when I have pain I do the technique myself, and have been successful. It is quite a wonderful feeling to know that the pain can be relieved.

ASTHMA

As an osteopath, I have experienced numerous forms of physical, emotional and energetic therapies, many of which are quite beneficial and successful. However, none of these treatments have provided such immediate and lasting results as I have experienced with EFT. I have come to understand in my profession that physical pain and dysfunction is a result of trapped and unprocessed trauma from either emotional or physical injury. The human body has an amazing capacity to heal itself, but sometimes that mechanism goes awry in the face of trauma, and the emotional turmoil stays trapped within the physical body, eventually leading to pain, dysfunction or disease.

My first EFT session with Martin Nyland was nothing short of miraculous. I have struggled with asthma on and off for 40 years. The EFT released the physical manifestations of some emotional trauma I had experienced at an early age, and since that session 3 months ago, I have not needed my inhalers at all. I could feel a physical unwinding of tissues surrounding my lungs during his session. I was so impressed with Martin's ability, that we had him try it for our 9 year old son who has sucked his thumb all of his life (in fact he was born with his thumb in his mouth!). Within 2 sessions of EFT, my son no longer sucked his thumb....even though it had been a reflexive and habitual soothing action for him for more than 9 years! The necessity to suck his thumb has been completely erased, and he now carries himself with more confidence. EFT is truly brilliant and I highly recommend it for anyone suffering with physical or emotional dysfunctions. Thank you Martin!

BACK PAIN

I have had lower back pain for years. One lucky day (recently) Martin walked into my school (where I work) and demonstrated his technique for me. At first I felt foolish, but so wanting to believe that it would work. It did! I feel great! How many sessions of other methods I’ve attended, just to try get some relief. I can’t even count. It was hard for my mind, let alone my body to believe the pain had left so quickly. Even the way I hold myself and how I walk have been noticed. Pain free! Thank you so much Martin!
Arlene Finlay, Woodstock, ON.

BACK PAIN

I had been having severe back pain for the last three or four days. It got so bad that I decided to seek medical advice from the local emergency room. After about a three hour wait I finally had a chance to see a doctor. Getting x-rays and a few tests I was diagnosed with sciatica and given a prescription for anti-inflammatory medication. Later that night with still a very intense amount of pain I was talking to Martin and he asked me if I wanted to try his treatment. Having nothing to lose I decided to give it a shot. After only a few minutes of tapping the pressure points (which I might add was done as he instructed me over the phone) my pain was gone. It was unbelievable. Martin phoned me three days later find out how I was and still no pain. This is totally amazing! Thanks Martin!

BACK PAIN

"I have been suffering from severe low back pain for about four years now, I had surgery done to correct a break in my L5-S1 area. Surgery helped but I still had severe back pain and was told that I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. I spent less than 5 minutes with Martin Nyland using a brief EFT session and my back pain was gone. I felt great and had no lower back pain for over a week."
Gerard denHartogh, Woodstock, ON

BACK/SCIATICA PAIN

I went to Martin for EFT on June 18, 2007 for severe back & sciatica pain that had been constant for a few weeks. I could not lift my children and I needed help off of the couch. Within 20 minutes of my session my back was totally pain free. I am into my fifth day and I am still pain free. Amazing!
Denise, St. Mary’s, ON.

BORROWING BENEFITS (group sessions)

" After having back pain for 7 years due to a snowboarding injury I was convinced to go for an EFT group session with Martin, To tell you the truth I had my doubts, but now over 3 weeks later my pain is still gone! The group session with Martin helped me work out the back pain as well as a couple other things bothering me. My boyfriend and I now plan to go to Martin for Detox and the EFT sessions more often. He's helped a lot and I thank him very much!"
Nichole Darmanin, Ingersoll ON, age 21

"After being self conscious of acne for my whole teenage life My mom had told me about Martin and what he does and how it's helped her, so I decided to go and see him during a group session. I now no longer care I have acne and I know in time that it will heal and begone! My girlfriend and I now plan to attend Martin's Detox sessions so we can take the healing to a whole new level! Martin has helped alot and for that I thank him!”
Jeremy Vandermeer, Beachville ON, age 19

CARPAL TUNNEL

"At a recent tradeshow a short 2 minute demonstration of the EFT technique was performed for my arm pain. I have had carpal tunnel for almost two years and experience on and off again chronic aching pain in my arm, a couple of inches below the elbow. For two weeks prior to the show, the pain had been very much "on again". After the technique was performed I felt a "tingling" sensation in the area of the pain. After awhile, I no longer noticed any pain. Even at work when the pain is usually at its worst (I work in a factory, assembling vehicles) the pain seems to be less than normal. Off work, I have barely noticed any pain at all since having the short demonstration of the Emotional Freedom Technique. It has been wonderful!"
Linda, London, ON (June 16, 07).

COCAINE ADDICTION CONQUERED!!

Before seeing Martin, I felt helplessly depressed. I was saddled with a great deal of emotional pain and a secret deadly addiction to cocaine. I approached his form of therapy (EFT) with an open mind. Dealing with all of my deep-seated pain lifted a huge boulder off my chest and gave me the strength and courage to kick my terrible addiction and choose to live life and try to love myself.

Two months later I am still cocaine-free and I am finally able to heal and embark on a new positive chapter in my life.

DEPRESSION, UNRESOLVED GRIEF

I had carried the grief and guilt of the death of a loved one around with me for nearly two years. I had a lot of anxiety and depression trying to deal with the loss. Then I heard about Martin and decided to call and talk with him. He explained Emotional Freedom Technique to me and I decided to meet with him and try his methods. After only one session it was amazing. He helped me to not only process things but to look at things in an entirely different way. I now feel no guilt or grief. I now celebrate the love I received from the deceased. Now, I embrace the memories with love and joy. It was truly an enlightening process. I wish that I had known this sooner. Thank you Martin. Love and light,
Susan.

INNER PEACE

My experience with Martin and his EFT practice was incredible. I had heard it is a release from your inner prison and how true this is. I had carried around so many disturbing issues for so long. After only one session of EFT I have already felt such a relief and feeling of peace. truly an amazing experience!
Jane.

EATING DISORDERS

EFT: I’ve been working against issues surrounding eating disorders, abandonment, grief, Post Traumatic Stress, sleep disorders, pain, panic and anxiety among other things that make life simply not much fun. I had previously and reluctantly started traditional talk therapy, but found that every time I went for an appointment I had to relive the events over again. They weren’t fun the first time and rehashing it again and again in therapy and then trying to reframe, rename and find a solution on my own was daunting and exhausting. I found Martin’s pamphlet on a staff room table. Something about it said it was worth the risk. I just wanted to be done with it all. EFT has, in 3 sessions, stopped my panic attacks that had me sit bolt upright in bed at night and now I am addressing deeply imbedded food issues (I mean…doesn’t everyone eat 20 cookies before bed). This stuff works fast and I’m creating a fantastic future without dragging around a very heavy past.
Donna (London, ON)

GRIEF

After 3 years of deepening depression and hopelessness, things got worse! Working as an "Addictions Counsellor" for the 14 years does not immunize one from the challenges of mental illness, nor does any kind of professional training erase the events and decisions of our past. Remarkably however, EFT has, for me, sort of done that. Within a few days of my first session with Martin I became aware of a generalized feeling of peace. I didn't feel as fragile or emotionally reactive. And, perhaps most importantly for myself, I noticed I was less quick to judge myself and less critical of my choice of response, like I wasn't "secondguessing" myself all the time. I looked forward to Martin's amazing style in each session. I was surprised how readily I let go of all kinds of "Junk in the closet": Martin always made me feel safe and eager to go deeper. On top of everything else that made this "THE YEAR FROM HELL" my wife and I lost our 24 year old son, our only child, in early February. Although we are grateful to the Grace of God for giving our son to us to begin with, it was God's Grace that sustained us through those difficult months; and it was Martin's application of EFT that enabled us to really move to the other side of our grief. It still hurts, and I would never want to lose my sadness in the hundreds of ways I will miss him. But I feel that now I can get back into some meaningful life with no more bitterness or anger. There are so many aspects of life and pain that EFT can effect I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

NAIL BITING (50 YEARS)

I came to see Martin for EFT (April 3,'07) so I could break my nail biting habit of 50 years. I had some doubts as to whether or not this would actually work. It worked immediately and I was quite amazed. My family was astonished. Since then, I no longer chew my nails and I have absolutely no desire to chew them. I still can't believe it!! Betty

PAIN: ANKLE

In grade 10 I hurt my ankle pretty badly while jumping on a trampoline. When I was told that I only had a severely sprained foot, I was surprised because it looked and felt broken. Three months later, I went to my doctor and he had discovered that it had been broken for the past 3 months. I now knew why I had been experiencing high degrees of pain. Ever since the incident, I have had steady pain in my left foot. When Martin performed Emotional Freedom Technique, the pain went away within 2 minutes. Even today, there is no pain.

PAIN AND INNER PEACE

I just want to let people know that after two sessions with Martin and EFT, I felt pain-free, much happier and a great inner peace. I would highly recommend EFT to anyone. The best part is that there are no pills or needles.
Maryellen (Woodstock, ON)

PHONE SESSION: SEVERE SCIATICA

EFT can be done over the phone quite successfully. This person had never ever tried EFT. Over the phone, I instructed him as to where to tap on his body, then coached him further as he self-administered. Within minutes he was pain free.

PHONE EFT....varied ailments

I am blown away and really excited about doing EFT with Martin! After only the first 3 EFT sessions (by phone), I had already been helped more than in over 12 years of therapy - including EMDR, individual therapy of various kinds, group therapy, art therapy and others, as well as over 150 sessions of different types of 'energy' therapies such as Reiki, BOS, TBM, Therapeutic Touch and Craniosacral therapy. I have a health condition that leaves me mostly housebound so I wanted a practitioner who was comfortable working with me over the telephone. I found Martin through the website of the EFT founder Gary Craig. Martin has been excellent. He coaches me on which points to tap on and his creativity and intuition are invaluable for figuring out which phrases to use. So far I have been helped with physical conditions such as bursitis in both hips (immediate and continuing vast improvement), migraine headaches, nocturia and chemical sensitivities(MCS).

These are all very exciting but far more exciting to me is the totally unexpected effects on my emotions and mood. After repeated emotional and sexual abuse as a child by my father, I have lived my life mostly in fear and anxiety and have been diagnosed with full-blown Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I have been constantly afraid of people having bad opinions of me, rejecting me, judging me, getting upset or disappointed with me etc. I have been so hyper vigilant and adrenalised, a common symptom with PTSD, that if there was a sudden, unexpected noise such as someone sneezing, I would get so startled and scared that I would burst into tears.

Now much of that is simply GONE! I have always been totally unable to speak up for myself and was so pleasantly surprised to find myself suddenly speaking up for myself all over the place after only the first few EFT sessions! I keep being shocked to hear assertive words coming out of my mouth! Now when someone else is in a bad mood I generally just feel relaxed because I know it is 'their stuff'. If someone had told me a few months ago that I would change in these deep ways I would have thought they were dreaming!

I had already being doing EFT on my own and with another practitioner for many months but was not able to get to the same deep level as I have been able to get to with Martin's guidance and support. I have realized how MUCH of my energy had been taken up by the emotional effects of past traumas. Now a lot of this energy is being freed up so that my body can heal itself. What a wonderful thing! Martin is easy to talk to and share with. He is totally accepting and nonjudgemental and I have felt safe talking to him about even very embarrassing things so that we can do EFT on them and diffuse the shame.I cannot recommend EFT with Martin enough - it is life changing! Martin, thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me begin to set myself free.

PHOBIA: CARS

After getting hit by a car as a pedestrian ten years ago I was left with some anxiety when I was walking in the park and I could hear a car coming behind me. My instinct was to panic and try to move out of the way. After a short session of EFT with Martin, I am completely relieved from this anxiety. EFT sessions also helped me get rid of some negative emotions that were stuck regarding the loss of three of my siblings when I was growing up. After spending many long nights having trouble sleeping, now I sleep really well. I can't be grateful enough to Martin for helping me so much deal with these problems.

SMOKING

On January 07, 2008 I decided to take the plunge and try an EFT session with Martin in order to break the nicotine habit. I had smoked for about 50 years and during the last 20 years of those 50, I smoked a pack a day. I tried and failed to quit many many times in the past but the cravings always won.

I had almost given up even trying to quit when I heard about EFT being effective for this addiction. I had already tried laser, which failed. However, I am totally amazed that after one session with Martin the cravings for nicotine have disappeared. During the first few days, just to test myself, I did light up a few cigarettes but did not enjoy them at all and I had to extinguish them after a few puffs. Since my session with Martin several weeks ago, I have had absolutely no cravings. I can confidently say that I am a non-smoker. The tools given with this method really do work! For me it has been an incredible experience. It is so effective!

VARIED

Been up for a little more than an hour now and am amazed at the difference I'm noticing already after only 2 EFT treatments. I'm soooo impressed. I know that I still need some more EFT treatments. Can't wait to feel like a new woman!

Next day: Sorry to bother you again, but I just can't get over how happy I feel today. I can honestly say I haven't felt like this in a very long time. My heart is winning the competition today. It's really hard to put into words how I feel, certainly not perfect, but so much lighter and at ease. I can't thank you enough. Can't get the smile off my face today; my client this morning noticed the difference in me. I'm so proud of myself for getting this far and I know I couldn't have done it without you. So once again a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. The day after the day after....GOODMORNING Martin: Well, it's a new day and a storm in the works and I have very little pain this morning. I've been up since 5am and on a day when a storm is brewing it usually takes hours for this body to move.....usually don't move well until after I have breakfast and take my supplements for arthritis. The pain is then lessened enough just in time to go to work and even then I think it is safe to say I have more discomfort then than I have at this very moment. AWESOME!!! Can't wait to work out the rest of the issues and then hopefully be pain free. Thank you, thank you, thank you, can't say it enough. Hope you'll accept a big hug later.

WEIGHT LOSS

Just wanted to update you on my progress with the EFT weight loss program. To date I have lost 11 pounds, that's 9 days into the program. I am an emotional eater and after a very difficult year with my own health, some past issues and the health of my mother, I turned to food for comfort. It was easier to comfort myself with food than deal with the issues. The foods I turned to the most were 'SWEETS' and 'CHOCOLATE', life without chocolate would have been a sin. I can proudly say today, 9 days into the program that I have very little to no cravings for them. The other evening I allowed myself 1 piece of chocolate as a treat, much to my surprise it really didn't appeal to me, I enjoyed it but didn't crave another piece, I could never have imagined that. Sweets have become too sweet, can only handle a very small amount of it. The desire to overeat has lessened greatly, I enjoy my food, I haven't deprived myself of my favourites.....I just find that I eat less, as I'm more in tune with my body and find I listen to it, it tells me when I'm full. I don't need the food to comfort me. This program is AMAZING!

I say my Ultimate Truth Statement 5 times per day, try to eat as healthy as possible, but still enjoy my favourites. My energy level has already increased and I have the desire to do things that I enjoy, especially going for walks, which had become nonexistent. My clothes are fitting better, infact I'm down one size. I'm getting compliments on looking healthier and happier. I am feeling like a new person already and looking forward to better days ahead. I feel very confident that this is the program I have been looking for. I am so proud of myself. I cannot thank you enough, you are a very caring and encouraging individual......thanks Martin. Looking forward to continued success.

WEIGHT LOSS

Just wanted to update you on my EFT weight loss program. As of this morning, I'm 17lbs healthier.

I can't believe how easy this program is. I say my ultimate truth statement 5 times per day along with the tapping as suggested. EFT has greatly reduced my cravings for sweets, and also reduced my appetite greatly. I'm able to listen to my body when I'm eating and it lets me know when I'm full......I'm not eating to fill my emotions anymore, I eat to nourish my body. What's great is that I eat all the foods my family eats, and I still allow myself treats. I have found that I am eating much healthier, especially since I don't require the sweets to fill that emptiness that was there. I also really enjoy my water.

My energy level has increased tremendously.....my walks have become something I look forward to everyday. I am able to increase the distance on a regular basis, as it doesn't take as long to do the distance I started out with. I feel so much healthier and I'm a much happier person. What's really great is when your husband notices! I've even had a few friends notice in the last couple days and give me compliments. I'm so proud of my accomplishments.

The other day I was at the doctors office and had my blood pressure checked, it is now normal, after months of high blood pressure. The doctor was extremely pleased with my progress and told me to continue with what I was doing.....no drugs, just the EFT weight loss program. I highly recommend the EFT weight loss program to anyone struggling with their weight. It really works!! :) You can still enjoy the foods you like. Best of all no drugs or supplements to take. So many thanks to you Martin, your encouragement is tremendous.....you have a true gift with EFT. Look forward to keeping you updated on my progress. Recently

Now my update, have changed my weigh in date to coincide with the date I started the EFT weight loss journey.....6 weeks today...25 pounds healthier, more than half way there! I'm so proud of myself. So many thanks to you and EFT.....best program I've ever used. Update

May 27/08 It is now 2 months since I started my weight loss journey and I am extremely excited to say that I am now 29 lbs healthier!! :) I feel wonderful. I'm so proud of my accomplishment so far. EFT has been a remarkable tool in this journey, as well as in other aspects of my life. Your compassion and skill are outstanding. I can't begin to thank you enough for what you've done for me. Thank you Martin!

EFT Testimonials

Testimonials by Ailment Mrs. Nellie Vandermeer of Beachville

While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it has only been used in its current form since 1992, and thus is still in the experimental stage. Therefore, users of EFT must take complete responsibility for their use of it. EFT has been known to bring peace of mind, relaxation, a brighter outlook, better health, more energy and focus, added self-esteem, relieve stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and a multitude of other ailments and issues. While Martin Nyland is not a licensed health care professional, he does care greatly about the welfare and health of his clients. Oftentimes EFT will achieve the results that other modalities or therapies do not.
