Emotion Release Technique™ is a holistic method of psycho-emotional therapy. Created by Naturopath Karlie McKeand. Emotion Release Technique™ empowers holistic practitioners to help clients process and release emotions, stress patterns and stress-related issues.

Emotion Release Technique™ or ERT is a technique for Health Practitioners to

help identify and process underlying emotions and stress patterns. Underlying

emotions can contribute to disharmony in the body leading to physical symptoms

or undesirable behaviours or thought patterns.

The method is based on the findings that neuropeptides are released during times of stress, and can attach to receptors on the neurons and cells of tissues throughout the body. This mind and body connection explains why stored emotions may contribute to pain, illness and disease, and how clearing those emotional subconscious responses could provide potential benefits.

Emotional health needs to be addressed for wellbeing and ERT is a tool to safely

process underlying emotions in a simple and effective way. Holistic practitioners

require a tool like ERT to integrate emotions and stress patterns for their clients

to truly improve their health.

Emotion Release Technique™ combines touch, muscle response and subconscious memory recall to help clients of all ages tap into and process these stored emotions. ERT can be used with all clients of all ages, for all presentations and symptoms and patterns.

When you learn ERT, you learn a complete framework that you can implement straight away into your consultation or as a standalone consultation. This is an incredible part of learning this technique! It’s not something you learn and have to work out how to implement it yourself.

ERT can be used alongside your current modality to assess for any emotional or stress components to your clients’ condition or presentation.

It also can be used to assess your client for any potential self sabotage and you are able to address it before starting their treatment protocol. By doing this, you reduce the risk of them coming up against resistance and this can improve their outcomes.

The process combines touch, meridian and acupuncture points, muscle response, Emotional Freedom Technique and memory recall to help clients of all ages tap into and release these emotions.

An assessment can be completed in as little as 10 minutes at the end of your standard consultation, or you may choose to provide ERT-only sessions.

Completing the ERT training program also enables you to market yourself as Emotion Release Technique™ practitioner. You gain the skills to help clients identify and release emotional drivers that may be holding them back from achieving their health goals.

Having ERT apart of your skillset is profound on our client outcomes and results. ERT is the proven tool that gets your clients to the core of their issues, aligns both their nervous system and behaviours to outcomes, and prevents potential self sabotage. Without it you run the risk of your clients not getting the best results or even being able to address what they are presenting with, only just addressing the surface layer of their presentation or have clients finding it all too hard to follow your recommendations and then they get off track leading to them cancelling appointments.

Adding ERT can improve your reputation. With so many Health Practitioners today, it’s important that you stand out of the crowd. It matters now more than ever that your skillset is at the highest of levels, and supporting your clients to attain (and exceed) the results they’re after. Health Practitioners who provide exceptional levels of results for their clients, stand out and become the ones whose reputation generates constant referrals.

• Your client may not reach their full health potential

• You may not be addressing the core issue or underlying driver with your client

• They could get off track, cancel their appointments with you, resulting in that client not achieving their goals and this affects your business too

• Clients may become challenging and demanding and you may be at a loss of how you can help them.

I can already use herbs and flower essences to help with stress and trauma. Why should I add ERT to my toolbox?

Almost every single client we see will have some aspect of stress, self-sabotage or trauma evident in their case. Tools such as herbs, flower essences, nutrients and lifestyle interventions are still an important part of caring for your client.

But there are a few reasons that using ERT alongside these remedies can be more effective than natural therapies alone:

• It allows you to identify emotional aspects that are not obvious to you or your client

• You can uncover how emotions are impacting on different aspects of your client’s well-being

• Any sabotage patterns and behaviours that are holding clients back from achieving their goals can be identified and addressed

• The effects of ERT occur almost immediately – your client leaves a session feeling lighter

• You don’t have to worry about client compliance because the process takes place within your appointment

Because your clients are seeing results quickly, you can build up a base of loyal clients that recommend you to all of their friends! So it can also help you to build up your reputation as a practitioner.

I’m not a health practitioner. Can I use ERT?

If you are not a health practitioner, this isn’t the course for you. You would benefit from this technique in how you are working, but you are probably more suited to the ERT for Coaches course.

You will find all details on the other tab on this website.

If you are unsure of what course is for you, send me an email and I would be happy to answer any of your questions.

Does my client need to talk about their emotions or trauma to benefit?

No – which is why it can be incredibly powerful.

Even if you have excellent rapport with a client, they may not be comfortable disclosing details. Or it may be that they are completely unaware of what is lying deep down. ERT gives your clients the benefits of addressing the emotional blocks that are holding them back without them having to say a word.

It might even be that you don’t want the details or prefer to not discuss emotions too deeply. Using ERT allows you to uncover the information you need and clear the blocks that need to be released.

Does ERT take up a lot of time?

Not at all. An ERT assessment can be completed in as little as 10 minutes at the end of a standard consultation.

However, you can choose to offer ERT-only appointments for your clients. This is a great option if you’re looking to diversify your income streams.

Can I use ERT online?

Yes. Many practitioners are using ERT online and in online group appointments. In the ERT Certification, you will learn how you can use this technique online.
