Founder of CleanEFT
After moving away from home, the anxiety began. I left home, my church, I had no guidance. I was working full-time and going to University full-time. And I had no idea where the anxiety was coming from.
In 1991 I was introduced to Louise Hay's classic, "You Can Heal Your Life." It was the first thing that 'changed my life.' I had NO IDEA that our emotions could cause specific physical ailments. I practically studied that book. I would just ask anybody what their main complaint is and look it up in the book. Even if I didn't help anyone, it helped me see the mind-body conection in a way I had never seen before.
I took a few years off to get my stuff together. In that '91 year I was in the hospital for 4 days with chest pains and they could never figure out why. I didn't even do drugs. Having that book made me realize that stress 'MIGHT' be a factor. I vowed I would never let anything stress me out like that again.
I travelled a bit after that, had light jobs, a bit of fun, but then realized I needed to get a career. I left Computer Scient, so I had no idea. I did plenty of those personality tests to help me figure it out. I sure wish they handed those out in high school.
Thus, three decades ago, my professional journey into healing began when I immersed myself in the study of Chinese medicine. I thought it was only a massage therapy school but I was there for 4 years, learning Chinese Medicine, how to be a holistic practictioner, I learned the 'points' (Acupuncture points) and importantly, how emotions are tied to specific organs.
For four years, I explored how the body’s systems interact with one another, the environment, and—most profoundly—our emotions. That understanding deepened as I studied nutrition from both holistic and Western perspectives, adding knowledge of pharmaceuticals and the many ways we seek balance in our bodies.
But no matter how much I learned, something was missing. In school, they never taught us what to actually do with the emotion part. I found myself drawn more and more to the emotional and energetic layers of healing—the parts that speak in feelings, in metaphors, in silence.
That’s when I discovered Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). It immediately resonated with me: simple, powerful, and deeply aligned with how I connect with others. EFT opened a path not only for healing others, but for healing myself.
Clean Language came later—and it changed everything. It gave me a way to stay out of the way, to truly listen, and to trust that each person already holds the wisdom they need. By asking clean, precise questions, I help guide people to uncover what’s within—gently, respectfully, and at their own pace.
CleanEFT is the result of this journey. A space where healing unfolds through presence. Where your words lead the way. And where transformation begins, not with force—but with clarity and care.
