Paul Boulton
Paul Boulton is an intuitive therapist, author, and developer of Targeted Energy Focused Tapping (Targeted EFT), with over 20 years of experience helping clients worldwide lead more aware, empowered, and fulfilling lives. His clients have included CEOs, doctors, psychologists, defense and medical personnel, teachers, actors, former nuns and priests, and people from all walks of life.
Paul combines his intuitive insight and empathic abilities, along with practical tools to help people create positive, lasting change in their lives.
In 2003, after discovering The EFT Manual by Gary Craig, Paul began integrating Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) into his work. Soon after, he developed Targeted Energy Focused Tapping (Targeted EFT)— a more therapy-focused version of tapping and EFT, that supports healing from deeper issues.
Through his Positive Change Sessions, Paul helps people free their minds and emotions from the stuck fears, issues, abuse, and traumas they have experienced in their lives. These challenges may stem from difficulties in family life, school, work, relationships, career, business, abuse, or other life issues.
Driven by his own lifelong journey of healing and self-discovery, Paul created Helping Kids Rise and Shine to offer a practical, empowering resource that helps parents, teachers and caring adults support children’s emotional wellbeing using the gentle, effective process of Targeted EFT.
“I am happy to share this effective, easy-to-follow resource for parents, teachers, and caring adults—to support children who are feeling sad, stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed.
The Targeted EFT process helps ‘unlock the shocks’ and ‘unlock the blocks’, so children can begin to feel safe, recover, and heal in their lives now.”
