FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) / FEES

What's EFT?
Emotional Freedom Techniques or "tapping" lets you easily release stress, fear, anger, pain and other unpleasant feelings through the combination of elements of talk therapy and tapping on acupuncture points with your fingertips. Click here for info.

What's Matrix Reimprinting?
This advanced form of EFT allows you to safely and comfortably access and transform painful memories so that you feel safe in your own body and in your own life. This allows you to feel hope, to see that you have options, and to move forward to achieve your potential in all areas of your life. Click here for more info.

Which technique do I need?
Tell me your issues. I'll suggest which technique we'll start with. Everyone benefits greatly from learning EFT and having several sessions. I'll use Matrix Reimprinting when I feel it is indicated. (It's my choice, based on my training and insights, about when to begin Matrix Reimprinting work which is sometimes reserved for a follow-up session.)I seamlessly interweave the techniques in a client session. If you absolutely do not want EFT, or hypnosis, because of preconceived ideas you may have, I will accommodate your wishes.

What happens in a first session?
An initial session is 2 hours, giving time for you to learn how to do EFT, for us to discuss your issues, and to get to work on making you feel better. You get to decide on the length of your next sessions, whether 2 hours or 1.5 hours. (Teen and kid sessions are usually 1 hour long, but that's up to them!)

How many sessions?
A few sessions can be more effective, quicker, and MUCH cheaper than talk therapy. We get a lot done in one session. Three sessions bring a LOT of positive change and insight.

The more sessions you do across the months (as your life situations shift positively), the more dramatic your range of changes will be. Work with a practitioner on your biggest issues, then use EFT on your own to keep the ball rolling. I've been working with my practitioners for 20 years!

What do sessions cost?
Sessions run 2 hours ($255) or 1.5 hours ($185). Because these are lengthier than most other EFT practitioners offer, clients often only need a few appointments to experience profound personal value, new perspective, and positive life change.  Children's and teen's classes are 1 hour and cost $160. Please see Yelp for client testimonials.

Where's Melinda?
I now work with clients online and in occasional group workshops. (For years, I had an office in Los Angeles, but I have moved out of the area.)

Once you speak with me and book an appointment, payment is due within 48 hours of booking. (I'll send a Paypal invoice.) If your payment doesn't come within that time, the appointment time is released to another client.

PLEASE NOTE: A client's first appointment runs 2 hours and costs $255. Follow-up sessions can be 1.5 hours ($185 each). Children and teen sessions are 1 hour ($160) or 1.5 hours ($185).

Can I use my health insurance?
Insurance doesn't cover EFT or Matrix Reimprinting or hypnosis sessions, unless used by a licensed mental health practitioner on the insurance company's roster. I work independently of the health care establishment, though I receive referrals from medical doctors and therapists who have an integrative or holistic approach.

Can I tell the truth?
Yes, please. That's how healing occurs. All sessions are confidential. I only share information if a client or someone they mention is in danger of being hurt.​


LISTEN! This enchanting song was written by an adult client's formerly traumatized 5-year-old self, as a gift for me. After just one session, the little kid AND his grown-up adult self once again had immediate, direct access to the love of music and the joy of creativity.
