This episode holds a special place in my heart as I’ve been ‘Tapping With Brad’ for many years, and EFT is a modality I still recommend to my clients and audience.

This was one of my favourite interviews to conduct, and I hope you’ll enjoy the lovely energy that Brad brings when talking about EFT.Original show notes belowWe’re almost two years into the podcast and I can’t believe it’s taken this long to dedicate an episode to one of my favourite mindset and energy modalities, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). However I promise you it’s been worth the wait, as today I’m chatting all things tapping with everyone’s favourite “EFT Wizard” Brad Yates!Brad is known for his creative and often humorous use of EFT. He’s an internationally renowned expert, author and co-author, and has collaborated with names such as Dr. Joe Vitale and Jack Canfield.
