Laura Aswati Maciuika, Ed.D., EFT-ADV
Energy Therapies Practitioner

Laura offers two Energy Therapy modalities for healing and personal growth. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is an easily learned tapping technique using the body’s energy meridians. EFT can be very effective in removing the intensity from emotions underlying many physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Laura has used EFT with clients since 2000 with great success in relieving stress, anxiety, blocks of all kinds, phobias, post-traumatic symptoms, and physical pain and conditions. She uses EFT in individual consults, and also in combination with Energy Balancing.

Energy Balancing, based on Reiki Natural Healing, helps the body release stored emotions and stresses, allowing the life force (Chi, or Prana) to flow throughout the system, aiding in healing and overall wellbeing. Both EFT and Energy Balancing can be effective on their own, or as complements other Western and Eastern healing methods.

Laura offers 1, 1 _, and 2 hour sessions on a sliding scale basis. After consulting with you about your wishes and goals, sessions can include EFT, Energy Balancing, or both. Laura also offers consultation to EFT practitioners, including support around more complex issues such as trauma.

Laura first began training in Reiki in 1993, and is a Reiki Master/Teacher in the Usui tradition. She holds the EFT Advanced Certificate. Her background also includes a doctorate in Human Development and Psychology, and nearly twenty years of counseling and teaching on the east coast. Laura moved recently to the East Bay and joined Upaya in 2006. She also volunteers her time at the Upaya’s Holistic Needs Based free clinic at the Youth UpRising program in East Oakland.
