Sandy Hartley and Natural Therapy
My Natural Therapy practice has developed over the last few years. Initially I was involved with organising EFT training workshops locally, in collaboration with an AAMET Trainer, later establishing my own clinic at The Centre in Rainham.
An EFT Practitioner since April 2007, I hold the Advanced EFT Certificate of Completion and more recently I have completed Reiki Level 2, and now offering this additional treatment to all clients. I also have plans to continue my training in other Natural Therapies.
Influenced by the work and teachings of Louise Hay, Dr Mark Atkinson and Chris Wood, amongst others; my intention is to continue to develop my Practice, offering therapies, treatments and techniques which are natural, safe and simple to apply.
I am committed to good practice and have formed a local EFT Practitioners CPD and Mentoring Support Group, for which I act as Facilitator.
My background is in Childcare and Early Years education, and I have worked in Primary and Secondary schools, supporting children with learning difficulties and providing pastoral care. I am a qualified Childminder, Tumble Tots Leader, Montessori Teacher and have had several articles published in related professional magazines and journals.
I have been a parent-governor at my daughter's infants school since last year and enjoy being part of the school community.
I hold a First Aid certificate and an Enhanced CRB Disclosure, and I live in Medway with my three daughters and two cats.
Meridian Tapping (EFT)
Meridian Tapping Techniques such as EFT are based on the same principles as acupuncture, and have evolved from Tapping practices that have been in use for thousands of years. In the early seventies, American psychotherapist called Dr Roger Callahan began researching this ancient practice and went onto develop Though Field Therapy (TFT) which used specific tapping sequences for different problems. Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer, studied with Callahan and later went onto create a simpler technique, which he called Emotional Freedom Techniques.
Today the popularity of Meridian Tapping is growing, and it is used in conjunction with other therapies, treatments and techniques, for therapy, sports and life coaching as well as personal, academic and spiritual development.
From this emerging field of energy psychology, other techniques and methods are being developed, and Practitioners are becoming more creative in the ways that they use Tapping.
It is safe, easy to use and has no side-effects. It is an excellent form of therapy and an effective self-help method.

Reiki
Literally translated Reiki means Universal Energy, or Universal Life Force and the Practitioner acts as a channel for the benefit of the client.
Experienced as a relaxing treatment, the client remains fully clothed and usually covered with a blanket for comfort. The Practitioner places their hands on, or just above, various parts of the head and body.
Reiki will naturally flow to where it is needed most and allow healing of the mind, body and spirit to take place. This is the gentlest of treatments, yet it's effects are profound on all levels.
It is a safe and has no side-effects. It is an excellent and effective treatment, but can also be used for relaxation on a regular basis.
