Emotion Release Technique™ (ERT)
It's well accepted that trauma, emotions, and stress can significantly impact our health and well-being. At Vida Naturopathics, we often see that unresolved emotional stress, self-limiting beliefs and past trauma drives recurring patterns of physical symptoms, emotional challenges, and self-sabotaging behaviors, despite our best efforts to leave these things in the past.
This recognition inspired Beth to gain her certification in Emotion Release Technique™ (ERT), a powerful method inspired by developments in neuroscience. Developed by Australian Naturopath Karlie McKeand, ERT is a holistic approach that taps into this mind-body connection, helping to assess and release emotional blocks that are stored in the nervous system.
Contemporary neuroscience demonstrates that our emotions and stress responses are deeply tied to physiological processes in the body. We now know that neuropeptides form the molecular basis of emotion. These molecules, released during times of stress, attach to receptors throughout the body, contributing to the theory that stored emotions can play a role in chronic pain, illness and disease, and of course in the self-sabotaging behaviors we all have.
This technique combines muscle testing, with touch, testing of specific body points, use of spoken sentences, memory recall, meridians and EFT points to identify, process and release these trapped emotions. It is especially effective for breaking through patterns of self-sabotage and unwanted habits, helping both adults and children to feel empowered and at peace. This technique can be incredibly beneficial for anyone looking to align their emotions and behaviors with their health & wellness goals. Very often the changes clients experience in the days following an ERT session are nothing short of profound. For deep seated issues, whether physical or emotional in nature, a series of ERT sessions, is recommended for best results.
If you feel that unresolved emotional stress is affecting your health or your ability to achieve your goals for long term health & happiness, ERT may be the key to unlocking deeper healing. Beth regularly uses this technique within naturopathic consultations and throughout Vida’s 12-week Metabolic Balance personalized nutrition program; but also offers this wonderful technique as a standalone service.

Book your Emotion Release Technique (ERT) Session
Initial ERT Session - 60 minutes | $160
During this deep-dive session, we’ll work on addressing the key challenges/behaviors/thought patters or goals you'd like to work on. You’ll complete a pre-session intake form to help you identify focus areas. Please know there is no need to discuss your past experiences or trauma for this technique to be effective—ERT works deeply, at the subconscious level (the autonomic nervous system) without requiring verbal processing, making it a safe and comfortable approach for all.
This initial session allows extra time to explain the method and ensure you understand why it's such a powerful tool for emotional healing.
Follow-up ERT Session - 45 minutes | $120
Follow-up sessions are 45 minutes. While the initial session usually brings about significant positive change, many clients choose to continue with follow-ups, either addressing new areas at each one, or delving into the various layers of complex traumas. These sessions are highly personalized, and we will create a tailored strategy to help you feel better as quickly as possible. Again, it is important to understand you do not need to discuss in detail what it is you wish to address - it isn't necessary at all, and this is a relief for many clients. Generally most clients leave the session feeling lighter, like a weight has been lifted.
Each session is tailored to meet your individual needs and ensure you feel safe and deeply supported on your emotional healing journey.
Emotion Release Technique™ (ERT)
What is Emotion Release Technique™?
Emotion Release Technique™ or ERT is a tool to help identify and process underlying emotional blocks. These underlying emotions can contribute to disharmony in the body leading to symptoms or undesirable patterns or behaviours.
ERT is a process of assessing the subconscious through muscle testing and processing through acupuncture points and Emotional Freedom Technique points.
How can ERT help?
ERT helps to interpret the physical manifestation of emotional issues so you can get to the heart of the issue and trauma held inside the body that is blocking health and wellness.
It's a tool to address self-sabotaging behaviours and helps to create lasting behavioural change to achieve goals with ease.
ERT can help to process stress and stress patterns resulting in improved wellness and better mental health.
Who can benefit from Emotion Release Technique™?
ERT can be used with all ages and for all sorts of issues. Any type of chronic stress, symptom or self-sabotage pattern can be assessed to see if there is an underlying emotional driver that is contributing to disharmony in your body & mind.
If you have been through trauma or don't wish to discuss the details around particular events, feelings or emotions, ERT can still process the stress providing huge healing and transformation as well as privacy. In fact, one of the benefits of ERT is that you don't need to talk at all about your stress or trauma if you don't want to, this has no impact on the result.
