Welcome to the EFT Tapping Training Institute™!

The Emotional Freedom Techniques aka EFT aka EFT Tapping, is a powerfully effective method that can be taught as a self-help modality and used as a therapeutic stress reduction approach for a wide variety of outcomes. Clinical trials repeatedly demonstrate EFT’s effectiveness to rapidly reduce the emotional impact of memories that trigger emotional distress and dysregulation. Research shows that emotional trauma can lead to a wide variety of physical and emotional distress such as stress, fears, phobias physical pain, anxiety, depression and even PTSD. It has even been shown to influence physiology by decreasing cortisol levels and influence the effects of genetic expression that control immune factors and regulate inflammation in the body. We train practitioners in Clinical EFT, which is the evidence-based form of EFT, which has been validated in over published 100 scientific studies.

Craig Weiner and Alina Frank offer a robust, comprehensive mentoring and certification process that adheres to the highest standards of professionalism and service delivery to clients. Craig and Alina consistently challenge their mentees to strive for excellence without failing to offer encouragement and support at each step in the process. As an LCSW, and former clinical social work supervisor, I appreciate the value of excellent supervision and mentoring. I highly recommend their certification and mentoring process.
— Laurie Heyl, LCSW
I am so grateful I chose the EFT Tapping Training Institute to learn this empowering wellness tool for myself and my clients. Working with Dr. Craig Weiner as my mentor on the path to accreditation was by no means easy, but it was absolutely worth the time and challenges along the way, and what a sense of accomplishment in successfully meeting the standards of excellence this program embodies! The depth of knowledge Craig and Alina share, the evident joy as they teach (watching them teach together is incredible!), their gift for making difficult concepts understandable, their compassion and availability to assist their students, the clear structure of their program, prompt and excellent feedback, and all the resources they offer their students and mentees truly set them apart. Learning EFT has totally transformed not only my bodywork practice and the lives of many of my clients, but my own life as well. It is hard to believe how much deep personal growth and healing has come this past year of committed learning and EFT practice. I highly recommend the EFT Tapping Training Institute!
— Dawn S. Olsen, LMT, Eft International Certified Accredited EFT Practitioner
This online format did not at all hinder the delivery of the content and technique whatsoever and we were able to do everything that we could have done in person. Alina and Craig created a very safe space, gave us plenty of demos, lots of practice time and welcomed all of our questions. They also broke up the day with ample breaks and Eden energy exercises to help avoid screen fatigue. Alina and Craig are experts in their field and top-notch EFT instructors. I highly recommend their online courses.
— Carson Hill
I wholeheartedly recommend training in EFT with Craig and Alina. I recently took their EFT level 1 and 2 live online training and it was a fantastic experience. The virtual environment in Zoom was great and everything worked perfectly, and I learned so many things. I appreciate the way they break down important concepts and share their many years of experience, and the emphasis they put on generating and maintaining safety and rapport with the client at all times.
— Bruno Sade, Psychologist
I had the pleasure of attending EFT training level 1 and 2 both in-person and online. The online training was taught by both Craig Weiner and Alina Frank and together, they conveyed their knowledge of EFT with intention and precision. They purposefully engaged the class from group and individual perspectives creating a warm and exploratory educational environment. They skillfully maneuvered through online break out sessions and utilized technology to its fullest. Through the online forum, I was able to interact and learn from participants from all over the world. The online experience brought a richness of learning that I would not have otherwise experienced.
— Karen Iglehart, RN, L. AC.
Here's what Event Coordinators Think About our Corporate and Educational Presentations and Programs:
Dr. Weiner provided an outstanding introduction to EFT tapping to our associates during part of our Mental Health Month workshop series. His expertise was evident in his presentation and he easily connected with participants virtually. He walked attendees through a tapping exercise and answered questions. It is often hard to make a virtual event interactive but Dr. Weiner did it well while leaving all attendees with a skill they can build on to manage their own stress.
