Energy Healing School

EFI Therapy™
Ebb & Flow Integration Therapy
Practitioner Training Program

Overview

Ebb & Flow Integration Therapy™ (EFI) has arisen out of the life and work of Rima Star. Spanning thirty years and over 30,000 hours clinical work and teaching, EFI honors the fluidity of our basic nature and uses the principles of the normal birth journey as a model for living life creatively and in balance with all. Since 1988 Rima has been observing the same pod of territorial, free dolphins and bringing people to experience EFI Therapy sessions in the dolphin’s playground. The spirit of the dolphins has woven its way into EFI Therapy™  resulting in a healing system that provides people with personal color breathing meditations, guided energy table sessions and aquatic sessions to honor and support maximum appropriate healing for each individual. EFI Facilitators offer individual instruction, land and water sessions to support you in your personal journey.

Purpose: To provide a quality educational experience in learning the Ebb & Flow Therapy™ system. EFI works with energy  body and breath to help people naturally find love, pportunity, and wisdom.

Pre-requisites: Complete an application and be accepted into the program. It is recommended a person have at least a minimum of three years experience receiving and giving healing sessions. To receive a license as an EFI Practitioner an individual must already be a licensed healthcare professional of some kind. Other professionals and interested persons may audit some of the courses for their personal benefit. It is recommended that participants experience EFI Sessions, workshops or classes whenever possible prior to enrolling in the program.
