The EFT & Matrix Reimprinting Academy (EFTMRA) was created to protect the integrity, depth, and heart of EFT and Matrix Reimprinting training worldwide. From its very beginning, the EFTMRA has stood for high standards, ethical practice, and real transformational healing — not just techniques, but understanding how and why EFT works at the deepest emotional level.
Founded and led by Karl Dawson, one of only 28 EFT Founding Masters worldwide and the creator of Matrix Reimprinting, the EFTMRA represents a direct lineage back to the roots of EFT itself. This means students are not learning a diluted or theoretical version of the work — they are being trained in the original principles, refined through decades of real-world experience with clients and students across the globe.
Over the years, the EFTMRA has grown into the world’s largest EFT certification body, with more than 10,000 practitioners worldwide and a network of highly trained EFT and Matrix Reimprinting Trainers spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Australia. Every EFTMRA Trainer has been personally trained and approved through a rigorous process, ensuring consistency, safety, and excellence no matter where in the world you choose to train.
What truly sets EFTMRA training apart is its depth and humanity. EFTMRA courses go far beyond memorising tapping points or scripts. Students learn how to work safely with trauma, how to understand the inner child, how beliefs are formed and released, and how to guide clients through profound emotional change at the root cause — not just symptom management.
All EFTMRA courses are taught live and in person, because this work requires presence, supervision, and human connection. Emotional healing is not something best learned in isolation behind a screen. In-person EFTMRA training allows for experiential learning, real-time feedback, and the emotional safety that builds true confidence and skill.
Choosing an EFTMRA Trainer means becoming part of a global family of practitioners who are deeply supported long after the course ends. Students gain access to ongoing resources, clear certification pathways, affordable professional development, and a strong worldwide community where learning, practice, and growth continue.
For students seeking authentic, trauma-informed, heart-centred training in EFT and Matrix Reimprinting, the EFTMRA offers something no other organisation can: direct lineage, experienced trainers, a global support network, and a commitment to real transformation. Training with an EFTMRA Trainer is not just an education — it is the beginning of a lifelong journey in healing, integrity, and meaningful change.
Matrix Reimprinting is a Meridian Tapping Therapy everybody is talking about. It is effective for the treatment of emotional or physical issues, it can also be used to manifest your goals and dreams. It evolved from the popular technique EFT.
Like it’s predecessors, Matrix Reimprinting also uses the Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian system that has been used in acupuncture for thousands of years. EFT has a long and impressive history of resolving physical and emotional health issues. The way it works is that you bring to mind and verbalise, in a specific manner, an issue that you want to work with.
At the same time you tap on points on your meridians with your fingers, and this releases stress and trauma from the body’s energy system, allowing the body-mind to return to a healthy physical and emotional state. Results for EFT have always been phenomenal, and have far and reaching positive consequences for our Western medical model of healing.
So how does Matrix Reimprinting differ from this already established technique?
Well, having evolved from EFT, it also contains some important differences. For example, in conventional EFT tapping on meridian end points is used to take the emotional intensity out of a past memory. What you are left with is to be able to recall your most traumatic and stressful life memories without any emotional disruption or stress, which is obviously extremely useful, as negative past memories keep the body in a state of stress and can contribute to physical and emotional dis-ease.
However, with Matrix Reimprinting the memory is actually transformed. You can go into any past memory, say and do what you wished you’d said and done, bring in new resources, and create and transform the picture you have of that memory. Importantly you can also change the belief you made that day.
In Matrix Reimprinting we see these past negative memories as being held as pictures or holograms in your body-field, which we refer to as ECHO’s (Energetic Consciousnesses Holograms) Until you transform them, you keep tuning into them on a subconscious level and they affect your beliefs behaviour, health, well-being and your point of attraction. Changing the pictures creates both physical and emotional healing, and enables you to attract more positive experiences into your life. By tapping on the meridians of the body at the same time, the process is accelerated.
It is important to recognize that this process is very different from denying what happened. From a quantum physics point of view, we have any number of possible pasts or futures, and it is simply tuning us into one that is more resourceful, whilst releasing the stress and trauma that we hold in our body-mind and body-field, due to traumatic life events.
Matrix Reimprinting can help with a host of issues, such as;
- Addictions
- Phobias
- Allergies
- Pain
- Anxiety and depression
- Illness
- Negative core-beliefs
- Birth traumas
- Relationships issues
…and many more areas. You can even work with past lives and future selves, and also enhance your work with the Law of Attraction.
Matrix Reimprinting also goes hand in hand with other healing modalities such as life coaching, hypnotherapy, counselling, psychotherapy, all types of bodywork and energy work, and so on. Whatever techniques you use in your practice, having a tool that helps you to quickly transform life traumas enables the body to return from a state of stress so that healing can take place.
However, you don’t need to be a practitioner to benefit from Matrix Reimprinting. It is a tool that can be taught to anyone to release emotional and physical issues and to enhance your life situation. Whatever your situation in life, this cutting-edge therapy can support your personal transformation.
Awareness of EFT is an essential precursor to learning Matrix Reimprinting and for that reason, the two practices are often taught back-to-back as an extended course. If you have studied EFT with other training organisations, please get in touch with the Academy or with your chosen Matrix Reimprinting trainer to confirm if you are well-versed enough in EFT to attend a Matrix Reimprinting training
