My name is Véronique Rooney. I am French, 40 year-old, and married to Gerard (an Irishman from Wexford) and we have 3 sons (of 9, 7 and nearly 3 years old) and I also have a step-son who is 21 and lives with his mum in the UK.
For the past 15 years, I have worked (based mainly in the UK) as a French
localisator (a translator specialised in the translation of any material
related to Information Technology - software applications, help texts,
websites, documentation, collaterals, marketing material, etc.). Originally I
wanted to be a scientific translator as I had a strong interest in English and
Spanish as well as sciences and biology. However, life did not happen as
planned (does it ever?) and I got directed towards the new technologies (IT). I have thoroughly
enjoyed my work as a localisator despite the pressure and the stress that
inevitably come with the job. Being a translator also enabled me to work from
home and "round" the children without having to rely too much on
childminding. I do still enjoy the occasional work but I no longer wish to
translate full-time.
All my life, I have been interested in health issues and the new (or sometimes ancient)
alternative medicines available. Mainly as a hobby, I have always kept a strong
interest in health and generally in caring for people. I have now been based in
Ireland for the past 4 years, but when I was leaving in England (where I lived
for more than 13 years) I used to do volunteer work for the Alzheimer's
Society. My granddad died of Alzheimer a few years ago and this is why I have a
strong interest in helping sufferers of that terrible disease as well as their
carers.
My personal Holy Grail
I discovered EFT in 2004 and have been using it daily ever since. I started working with family and friends on various issues (toothache - headache - backache - sport injury - even depression and stroke). Since I was getting excellent results (often quicker than with over the counter remedies), I carried on applying EFT on every issue I was confronted with.
After seeing amazing results with EFT, I have come to realise its potentials (unlimited, I am now convinced!!!). I really was compelled to get more involved. I decided to study the basic course as designed by Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, and I successfully passed the exam for the Certification of Completion ("EFT-CC"). I then went on with the next level (the Advanced Certificate of Completion - "Steps toward becoming the Ultimate Therapist") which I have also completed and passed ("EFT-ADV").
For me, EFT has become the open door to the new career I have
always longed for. Thanks to EFT I am finally able to fulfil my dream
of helping people (young and old) and, as far as I can, try and relieve
some of the suffering that somehow plagues each of us.
I am always trying to improve my techniques, both for my own personal satisfaction but mostly because I owe it to my clients to offer them the best I can. This is why I am in the process of taking Gary's new certification "CERT-I" program in order to become a "certified" EFT practitioner.
After many years of using EFT in its various forms, and after many hours of research in the world of meridian energy healing and other modalities, I have come to refine my own healing modality: HEHT - Holistic Emotional Healing Techniques.
Mainly based on the principles of EFT, HEHT encompasses other healing techniques (including visualisation). My aim in developing HEHT has been to find a solution that would be for the highest good of my client. With HEHT, each client can choose amongst an array of healing techniques to best respond to their individual needs and get the results as fast and efficiently as possible.
Top of PageFor many years now, I have been teaching French (and English to French people), to individuals or groups (up to 5 students).

A few of my personal experiences with EFT & HEHT
I use EFT & HEHT daily with and for my clients but also for my own family and for myself. Quite often, the results are amazing but what is mostly interesting is that I tend to use the marvels of EFT & HEHT on really everything. So my personal stories can be a bit different from the typical issues that my clients bring to me. And I thought you might benefit from reading about other issues that can be EFTed. And see for yourself that you can really "use it on everything" as Gary Craig says.
So here are some of my stories.
Here are a few ways you can learn about EFT:
By the way, I am also an Enneagram Type 6: The Loyalist (nothing to do with politics ;-)
I took the Free Enneagram Test and was very impressed by the accuracy of it.
It is very interesting and really helps to find out a bit more about our own personnality.
