The AAMET (Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques) is a registered not for profit  professional association, with clearly defined aims and objectives.  We are committed to maintaining strong codes of ethics and practice and to establish ourselves as the lead training provider of Emotional Freedom Techniques.

The AAMET was first established in 1999 by a group of EFT enthusiasts lead by UK Homeopath and Meridian Therapist Dr Tam Llewellyn-Edwards who was awarded Master Practitioner status by  Gary Craig, the originator of EFT. The association quickly grew from a small group of like-minded individuals to a strong, multinational entity thanks to his passion and the support of dedicated committee members.

The future

The new website, launched to coincide with a new decade, heralds an exciting new era for AAMET with a new way of working. Our newly-acquired legal status will make us eligible for some grants and help us form strong allegiances with the official bodies and authorities in members’ respective countries. We will also find it easier to network and co-opt with other professional bodies representing the many other disciplines our members are qualified in (e.g. hypnotherapy, homeopathy, psychotherapy, counselling). This will make it easier for us to open more doors into mainstream/conventional healthcare and rehabilitation, and confer greater professional kudos in our endeavours in the fields of education, reform and performance.

Practitioners listed on this website are recognised AAMET members who have agreed to hold appropriate insurance cover and who have signed up to follow our Code of Conduct and Ethics  and to undertake an annual mininum number of hours of Continuous Professional Development (CPD). The AAMET only accepts members with a high standard of training and has a formal complaints and investigation procedure in place.
