EFT Tapping Research
& Melissa's Reading List
As your Certified EFT Tapping Practitioner, I take my work very seriously. Staying up-to-date with research and practicing it myself is crucial to honing my craft. Personally, I've experienced remarkable benefits from EFT and I'm eager to share it with you.
If you're passionate about EFT tapping and want to learn more, then I'm the woman for you. Although not exhaustive, I've included some Tapping research that I find particularly interesting.
As a coach for over a decade, I've always prioritized following the latest science. I've evolved my viewpoints based on my own experiences and those of my clients. As science and spirituality continue to advance, so do I.

Prior to Melissa's education in human behavior, she excelled in dog behavior and was a successful dog-aggression specialist.
Being able to coach pet parents to eliminate their dogs underlying emotional learning (if that was the case and there were no genetic dispositions in the mix) taught Melissa how to actually get their clients to do something. Training dogs was easy, it was coaching the pet parent that was more difficult! That is part of the reason why Melissa coaches humans now and not dogs, dogs were never the problem it was always us.
Melissa's dog behavior educations includes the neuroscience of dogs from Dognostics, ABC Animal College, Dr. Ian Dunbar, Dr. Ken Ramirez, Dr. Patricia McConnell, and Animal Shelter Training and Rescue work.
Melissa has always been interested in helping whoever is in front of her to the best of her ability. Her dedication to her experience and education will help set you apart as an expert coach yourself.
