Here is Masha demonstrating and talking about EFT.

Here is what a few of Masha’s students thought about her workshops:

“What a fantastic two day training! I thought level 1 was brilliant but level 2 was absolutely outstanding. I have never experienced such great training that not only shows you how to use my newly learned skills but also how to put them in to action. I love how EFT is so easy to use and how quickly staff and young people find it so easy to pick up and use it straight away. Although my main role is in substance misuse, I’ve also used this with young people who have been having panic attacks and for relaxation, as well as with cravings.”

(Christy Lynch, Youth Offending Service Substance Misuse Team – Liverpool, UK)

“I love your teaching style, which appears very calm and laid-back but is packed with information and thought-provoking ideas. You have a wonderfully professional approach but it is wrapped in such friendliness that it immediately draws the group together and creates a feeling of safety. I learned many more EFT approaches, which I’m now using in my practice to good effect. I particularly appreciate its use with trauma and look forward to helping my trauma clients even more. I was already a convert to EFT, but since your course I can see new ways of developing its use for myself and my clients.”

(Sian, Hypnotherapist, Manchester)

‘I would without doubt recommend Masha Bennett, she is brilliant, funny and very, very practical – one of the best trainers I have ever come across – and I know a few… It was the first course in 20 years where I stayed till the end!’

(Dr Mike Smith, Psychotherapist, Author, Trainer & award winning Psychiatric Nurse www.crazydiamond.org.uk – Warrington, UK)

“It was a brilliant, refreshing course! Am excited by the possibilities EFT presents. Thank you.”

(Belinda, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist & Supervisor – London, UK).

“Thank you for the EFT work you did with me during the workshop demonstration on my lifelong needle phobia. I have just had my tetanus jab at the doctors, and it went like a dream! I am so grateful for your help and EFT.”

(Denise, Therapist – Uxbridge, UK).

“Masha is an excellent tutor who leads by example and has a unique way of helping and supporting her pupils. The workshop was superb and easy to understand and the EFT techniques were easy to learn. EFT helps to assist to conquer addictions and phobias and a great subject to learn as a therapist.”

(Anita Maddock – Holistic Therapist and Trance Medium, UK)
