Testimonials

"Gabriëlle Rutten is an exceptional doctor, coach, healer, teacher, and author! I have taken several courses with Dr. Rutten over the last few years, most recently EFT Gold Standard, and have been very impressed with her level of knowledge and ability to clearly and concisely convey key concepts. She is scientifically rigorous, always citing numerous references, while still teaching in an accessible format. In her powerful trainings, I found that she articulated in a convincing and inspiring way the latest science behind EFT, and why it’s so powerful and effective. Even though I was already certified, I am beyond grateful that I found Dr. Rutten and decided to further train with her. Not only did my knowledge deepen, but I also worked through many more of my own triggers, which helped me become a much more effective and confident EFT practitioner. Today, I have the privilege of being really fulfilled with the consistent and wonderful results my clients are experiencing! Gabriëlle Rutten also has a marvelous sense of humor and is a wonderful kind, human being!"

I am currently a student in her Gold Standard Tapping Training program, which is a rigorous training consisting of a year of 18 lectures, personal sessions, and client practice sessions. In the past 3 years I have also taken EFT for Trauma, her Bootcamp on Chronic Physical Issues and her Hamer training.

"It has been a truly enriching journey becoming certified in Gold Standard EFT under
the guidance of Gabrielle Rutten, Novet EFT Master Trainer & Director. Gabrielle offers profound insight into how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can serve as a powerful tool for managing stress and enhancing emotional well-being. Her approach emphasizes the nervous system's role in the stress response, grounding EFT in both a holistic and scientifically informed framework. She offers a fresh, compassionate perspective on what society often labels as "disease," helping us understand it through the lens of integration and healing. This training has not only deepened my personal understanding of EFT as a self-help modality, but it has also greatly expanded my ability to support others in achieving deeper emotional healing. Thank you, Gabrielle, for your generosity
in sharing your wisdom and expertise!."
