Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, is widely recognized for developing and advancing this innovative approach. From 1995 until his retirement in 2025, he devoted three decades to refining EFT and making it accessible worldwide. Upon his retirement, he entrusted all aspects of his EFT work to Gabriëlle Rutten, thereby leaving “all things EFT” in her care as his successor.

Gabriëlle collaborated closely with Gary for more than a decade, contributing to his webinars and co-authoring teaching materials. In 2016, he designated her training institute as a Gary Craig Official EFT Center. Together, they also co-authored the book EFT from A to Z, published in 2021.

As of January 1, 2026, she is responsible for the Official EFT legacy that Gary left in its entirety on the Palace of Possibilities website.

Gabriëlle Rutten

MD, Gary Craig Certified Official EFT™ Master, director & Novet Master Trainer

I've been using EFT daily since 2003, both for myself and with clients. In my practice, I work with both Gold Standard EFT and Optimal EFT. Through personal contact with Gary Craig, Novet offers direct access to original materials. I've taught EFT to around 1,000 people and have been training professionals since 2009. My mission is to inspire others to use EFT professionally for lasting results.

Elly Cortenbach

Substance Abuse Counselor, EFT Practitioner  & Novet Supervisor

I never imagined that nail-biting would lead me to a completely new life. After just three EFT sessions, the problem was gone—and I was hooked. I trained at Novet, started my own practice, and continue to be amazed by EFT’s power. It’s truly rewarding to help people resolve their issues for good. I love sharing my knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm with as many people as possible.

Laura Fobler

Psychologist, Novet EFT Master, EFT Foundation Chair & Novet Supervisor

Though I once wanted to become a doctor, I chose psychology and became a career coach. My interest in health remained strong, leading me to trainings like Touch for Health and hypnosis. Then EFT came into my life—and everything clicked. I now work daily with both Gold Standard and Optimal EFT, integrating the 5 Biological Laws. As a Novet supervisor, I’m passionate about sharing this unique method with others.

Karen Zimmermann

EFT Practitioner, Novet EFT-Trainer In Training  & Novet Supervisor

Working as a trainer in the pharmaceutical industry, I hit a wall. I'd been diagnosed with MS, and when new symptoms appeared, standard treatments offered no real answers. I knew there had to be more—and that’s when I found EFT. Within three months, I went from exhausted and limited to energized and mentally clear. Today, I help people address not just symptoms, but root causes. My mission: to show everyone the true power of EFT..
