Finn Deerhart EFT Practitioner World Tapping Circle

Finn Deerhart

Advanced EFT Practitioner & Holistic Life Coach

I was born into a strict, Southern, religious home as a minister’s son. I also became a minister when I was 19 years old. I had a mission, but a message that was not my own.

It took me many years to come out of the closet as a gay man, and even more years after that to begin the process of unraveling my core identity to rebuild myself authentically. I’ve struggled and triumphed in many ways because of the significant guides and teachers that I’ve encountered along my journey.

Now, sex and relationships are the lenses through which I’m examining my own life, how I interact with my own deepest wounds, and how my personal vulnerabilities relate to my culture as a whole. I’ve been letting go of what I am not to find what I am. Deeper intimacy with myself is guiding me into healthy relationships and exciting sex that reflects my personal quest for wholeness.

Though I’m no longer a formal minister, I care deeply about how we hold space for healing within ourselves and for others who need connection.

When it comes to relationships, I believe that many of us are working against a monolithic set of conditions with faulty templates. It can seep into every level of our beings — the challenges that we face and how we go about trying to make it all okay.

As we release blame and get really honest with ourselves, healing can occur. Having help in this process of shedding the old and bringing in the new can be tremendous. Transformation requires patience, practice, and a holistic understanding of the individual and relational challenges that you may be facing.

Together, we discover your own clarity. We’ll acquire resources and strategies that you need to create the life and relationships that best support you. As we uncover your personal truths, we also contribute to the collective healing for us all. I bring 14 years combined experience in social anthropology, wellness coaching, spiritual counseling, sex & intimacy coaching, and personal development.

Kirsten Elise Young EFT practitioner World Tapping Circle

Advanced EFT Practitioner

Kirsten Elise is a deeply empathic, heart-centered, intuitive coach and transformational teacher dedicated to helping her clients take their lives to the next level and expand into their full brilliance. 

“What often keeps us from powerfully moving forward with our dreams and goals are layers upon layers of negative experiences, traumas, limiting beliefs and imprints we’ve collected over our lifetime that hold us back from our highest potential.

I support my clients in clearing anxiety and depression, releasing addictive patterns, healing from sexual trauma, overcoming the effects of PTSD, reconnecting to their intuitive guidance system, and moving through internal limitations to align to their soul’s highest path.

My sessions are intuitively guided with the help of my guides and angels. I support my clients to open to the highest possibilities for their lives to move forward with clarity, grace, and joy.” 

Kirsten also loves facilitating transformational group journeys (online and in person) and teaching Kundalini Yoga. More information about her upcoming offerings can be found on her website.

Jade Fusco EFT practitioner sophia school of living arts world tapping circleJade Fusco

Advanced EFT Practitioner; Voice Therapy & Sound Healing

I first experienced EFT with Sonya Sophia in 2010 at Burning Man.

It blew me open, and I knew then that it would play a big role in my life as an artist and performer. I felt deeply drawn to the practice of reclaiming my inner dialogue for the development of healthy patterns and challenging myself creatively, and to the possibility, through EFT, of connecting with my family and loved ones in raw, authentic, and honest ways.

Upon moving to Austin in late 2015, I met Sonya Sophia again, and shortly thereafter signed up for her Advanced EFT Practitioner Training to deepen my knowledge and practice of EFT and become certified in the technique.

I have since helped facilitate 5 such EFT training retreats and started my private practice.

My journey using EFT to navigate the relationships in my life has been hugely impactful on my artistic expression, both in form and content. Last year, I wrote and produced an original musical called Art, Sex, Magic — part homage to EFT, and part celebration of how I’ve grown in integrating and combining my gifts as a healing artist, singer, and entertainer.

SPECIALTIES

I love offering EFT sessions for people who are interested in opening up their singing voices (or creative expressions in general), and unlocking and tending to trauma that has compromised our connection with the powerful, healing vibration of our own voices.

I love working with anyone interested in dissolving blocks to their empowered, creative expression.

As a queer woman, I love working with members of the LGBTQIA community on any subject.

TRAINING

Jade offers EFT sessions in person in Austin, Texas, or over the phone, Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, or Facebook video.
