I feel very confident now in getting my issues cleared with the EFT techniques that I have learned".
"I enjoyed learning EFT with a small group of like-minded people and putting these techniques to good use. A thoroughly enjoyable course which I know will be invaluable if a crises occurs and I have a panic attack".
"I enjoyed being with like-minded people who were open to all the concepts of EFT and being able to enjoy asking questions as and when, and getting a personal treatment was great. Really inspired to carry on the techniques at home - its been very interesting what comes up, which you may not have though was an issue. Feel very positive about using EFT in my life".

September 2009 - Comments from Reiki I (First Degree) Course
"I enjoyed the personal interaction, smaller class enabled clearer clarification where appropriate. I also enjoyed understanding my energy. A great environment, happy, jolly and fun - looking forward to Reiki II!"
"I loved meeting the other students, followed by the marvel of realising I can really tap into the awesome power of the Universe and I always enjoy interaction with you Cherri. Brilliant couple of days, priced well, nice and relaxed. Fun and informative along with an invaluable tool for the future."
"Cherri, your warmth and overflowing love, for me that is pure positive energy. Your garden spoke a lot, and it was heaven."
August 2009
I liked your humour - you made it easy listening - it was a nice relaxed atmosphere making it enjoyable. The
course really opened my eyes to how powerful EFT can be. I felt I learned so much more than just watching
DVD's. It was so much more valuable to sit face to face with an expert. I now feel I am on the right track to becoming expert myself as an EFT Practitioner.

feel welcome. I feel I can learn more about Reiki and be the best I can. I'm already thinking of new ways to use my gift. Thank you!"

"I enjoyed the open and friendly atmosphere, the fact you could cry and not be embarrassed and the people I was on the course with. Thoroughly enjoyed the course, feel as though I have made three new wonderful friends. Thank you so much Cherri for enabling me to realise my own potential and have the confidence to move forward."
"I enjoyed being able to make links with some new (and deep) element in my life. The two days worked around our needs and where we wanted to be. It allowed us to explore and be safe, and to learn a great deal...wonderful!"

April 2009
"I was approaching my 50th birthday and decided now was the time to get a few things sorted out. I read about the Emotional Freedom Technique and decided to give it a whirl to try and conquer my fear of dentists and injections. Just to talk about dentistry would freak me out.
I went to see Cherri Ann in March 2008. I explained my fears and had a one and a half hour session with Cherri Ann. The session was successful and I booked in with a dentist that month. I have since had three appointments, including three fillings with injections. The hygienist has also cleaned my teeth and made my gums a lot healthier, which in turn has made me feel great.
The Emotional Freedom Technique basically gets you to have a straight and honest talk with yourself as to why you feel the way you do about certain things and what is preventing you from carrying out certain activities, and then you just tap those fears and negative feelings away.
Cherri Ann is fantastic and I recommend her highly. She has helped me to change the way I look at life because achieving a task I thought was impossible has given me confidence to tackle other obstacles. I have since lost one and a half stone in weight and taken part in activities I have always wanted to try, ice skating, Race for Life and evening classes.
My next goal is to learn to swim and say goodbye to my fear of water..........appointment please Cherri Ann."

Hi Cherri,
I just had to let you know that after our session of EFT a few weeks ago where I had an issue with clearing out
old clothes—I have just got rid of about 90% of my clothes and took 15 bags of clothes to my local charity
shop!! Some of it was really good quality but had been in my cupboards for years! I felt nothing and was
ruthless!! Thanks for your help with it as I could not have done it without you!!
Lots of love
Karen

Dear Cherri,
You are the best E.F.T. lady in the world. You helped me a lot. You might be the champion. That really worked for me. It was so good that I don't have to do the E.F.T. anymore because my tooth fell out about 5 days ago, so I'm not so worried about the dentist any more. I got £2.00 from the tooth fairy on Wednesday 17th of October.
Like you lots.

"I took my 13-year-old daughter to Cherri after a recommendation from a friend. My daughter does gymnastics and it was both heartbreaking and frustrating watching her perform beautifully in the gym then, in competitions, to see her go to pieces because of nerves. She was on intensive training but I knew that until she got her head sorted out she could train all day and every day and still not get the results she was capable of.
Cherri was great with her. She very quickly identified the main reasons why my daughter wasn’t achieving and explained to her what was happening in her mind. Cherri then went on to say how she would put things right, using analogies my daughter could easily understand.
Some of the techniques Cherri showed my daughter were actual physical things she could do for overcoming nerves but during the sessions she went far deeper than that and actually changed her whole way of thinking about competitions.
Next competition, ok so she didn’t get a gold medal but she did get a bronze and I truly witnessed a complete change in her. Whereas before, if she made a mistake it would have completely thrown her for the rest of the routine, she just carried on confidently and without panicking. I hadn’t told her coach that I had taken her to see Cherri but, after the competition, her coach said to me, “Good routines today, much more confidence.” I asked my daughter how she had felt while waiting to compete and she replied “Fine”. “Were you nervous?” I asked. “No, not really,” was her reply.
My daughter still has a long way to go but I know now the mental tools she needs have been put in place to go alongside her training."
Thank you, Cherri,
(Mother of EFT Client....and the following is from my 13 year old client)
"I went to see Cherri before a gym competition to help control my nerves. She gave me some exercises, some advice (and even a sweet!) I’m not sure how these exercises worked but I wasn’t at all nervous."

Dear Cherri Ann,
We, at the Wiltshire Young Stroke Group, would like to thank you for the interesting and informative talk you gave to our group meeting on Saturday 14th October 2006 at the Haydon Centre, Haydon Wick, Swindon Everyone was fascinated by your demonstration of the method and explanation of the benefits of the Emotional Freedom Technique. We, as stroke survivors, are all too aware of the way our body can help to heal itself sometimes without conventional medicine.
Once, again, thank you for making our monthly meeting so interesting.

Hi Cherri,
I would like to say a great big THANK YOU for introducing me to E.F.T. At first I was skeptical, however my emotional state was, as you know, at an all time low. I have never felt so depressed and miserable in my whole life. Having tried all the medical treatment i.e. anti-depressants, sleeping tablets etc which made me feel worse, I was ready to try anything and was recommended to you.
I was absolutely amazed at how quickly this worked. It took only one visit and I was surprised (and pleased) how different I felt about everything. I can only describe it as a massive emotional release - like a huge black cloud which had hung around me for months seemed to burst and let the light in. You then taught me how to administer the treatment on myself at times of anxiety. It is very easy to do but to be perfectly honest, I haven't needed to do it! Not only did the E.F.T. release the initial stress that triggered the depression, it seems to have altered my whole outlook. Things I would get worried or bothered about before now seem irrelevant and not worth wasting my negative emotions on!!
It sounds very over the top but I woul
d say its miraculous and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
Thanks again Cherri,
Love Lesley xx

I'm now practicing hand positions on my family so I can start to do some treatments on them. Thank-you again for this gift - Reiki really is fantastic. See you soon for some EFT.
Lots of love,
