My experience with Michael was that he shows up with a powerful intention and focus. He is very awake, aware, and skilled in many areas.
My sessions with him were powerful. He’s the real deal and walks his talk. I can highly recommend working with him with no reservations.Sara

What I love about Michael’s method is that you don’t have to drag up the past as in traditional therapy, you only need to bring up a feeling you want to work on. As someone with a terrible memory, this worked extremely well for me. Michael is extremely easy to work with. his calm laid-back demeanour is very reassuring (the Australian accent is an added bonus). the sessions move through at a good pace and build upon each other in an easy to follow progression.
If a technique we tried wasn’t quite the perfect fit, he was always able to suggest an alternative method. with the guided tapping you do together, he takes all the work out of it for you.
I found this very liberating, as trying to come up with the right words was a cause of stress for me. what i started doing in later sessions was changing some of the words slightly as i repeated them if i felt something was a better fit for myself. He also has a wealth of resources to share and is very good at answering questions and offering suggestions. I often use the videos from his YouTube channel to tap and release. I did hesitate in the beginning to book the private coaching package, but am so very glad I did.
I still have much work to do, but I know Michael has put me on the right path and given me the tools to continue the journey on my own.Pari Gilmore

I really love your natural and authentic way of speaking through the points. I find it relaxing and empowering. You cover many topics and there is always something that resonates with me on any given day.

I have taken a number of courses with Michael Hetherington, all were excellent. I found his courses thorough, well presented and easy to follow. Above all, what he teaches makes sense to me. I am deeply grateful for what I have learned from him, both for myself and for my clients.

Michael was the first EFT teacher/practitioner that I felt made a big step towards a more calm and peaceful state. I had had at least 4 or 5 practitioners whom I got help from in the past, and although I learned new skills each time, I still struggled a lot with my anxiety.
The difference between my past experiences with other EFT practitioners and Michael was that he has a deep knowledge of Chinese medicine (including Qigong) and other methods like the Sedona Method. I also benefited from his gentleness both in his being and approach that allowed a gradual releasing of blockages.
After meeting with him several times, I felt a confidence I never felt before to be with my anxiety in a much calmer way than before, and as a result, the anxiety had diminished quite a bit!
He is an amazing listener and a very intuitive person. I highly recommend Micheal to anyone who wants to try EFT or who is dealing with deep-seated fear and anxiety.Paula W

EFT with Michael has been wonderful. I was sad to leave and move forward on my own.
Three years ago, I had to find a way to become more resilient emotionally and not so triggered that I couldn't cope. And I was tired of getting stuck in old patterns and triggers. I had a traumatic brain injury and a broken neck that left me so hypersensitive that I developed food intolerance, infections and autoimmune dysfunction. Coping in the real world had been difficult as everything bothered me. I was given a diagnosis of complex PTSD and, of course, IBD and nervous system dysregulation.
As a trained physician, I tried regular therapy and EMDR which were only mildly helpful. Medications made me feel like a zombie. For 2 years, I did EFT tapping by using an app, which was very helpful, and I wanted to up my game and go deeper with help for the trauma. I started searching Google and found Michael's YouTube tapping exercises. His style clicked for me. It showed me what I was missing, which was feeling into the feeling; accepting the emotions without judgment; and not getting stuck in the story. After 2 months of YouTube, I decided to do one-on-one sessions, making a commitment of 8 sessions over 4 months. It is absolutely well worth the time and money.
I found Michael to be a skilled, sensitive, and attuned listener who honed into exactly what I needed at each session. The EFT flowed smoothly; and I felt lighter and happier. He was easy to follow, and the scripts were right on. I really appreciated getting additional links and information in supporting the work. I was surprised that he introduced me to the Sedona Method, which has helped me go deeper into releasing emotions.
Overall, after 8 sessions, I came away feeling more confident and comfortable with myself, far less reactive, and more grounded. I also sleep better. The lifetime traumas and all the emotional baggage with them have far less an impact on me. Even my digestive problems have lessened, and in times when I feel deeply triggered in a PTSD fog, I can get myself out of it and be back to the present time. Like anything you're trying to change in yourself, it's a practice; one that really works. I'm glad I have this. I am very glad I had Michael's experience.
Thank you, Michael, for helping my quality of life.Nicko

I started working with Michael about 6 months ago. It was the best decision I made. I was hesitant at the beginning about working with him because I had never done anything like this before. But I was in a really bad place in my life - I was really stressed and had daily headaches and my blood pressure was out of control. I was trying to do too much. I was an almost full time lawyer and I was also running a business at the same time. I was not sleeping properly and my energy was so low.
After I started to work with Michael, slowly but surely my life began to right itself. My headaches became much less sever and my blood pressure became stable. More than anything I learnt new tools to help myself when I begin to feel overwhelmed. I’m so much happier, relaxed and calm now. Working with Michael was one of my best decisions!
