Australian Institute of Self Development

"After a long period of unemployment Russell has helped me clear the way for the role I desired using a range of my skills and also in the location I love to work at; close to water & close to home.

I am on a contract and I did not even have to negotiate a fabulous daily rate. After I cleared my childhood issues I received a call regarding my ideal role the following day. That’s how quick it all works! I would have never believed it and am now working on meeting my ideal life partner. Hooray!

“I came to see Russell about abusive relationship issues. Imagine my surprise when the shoulder pain that had kept me out of work for 2 years was gone within 30 minutes. I cancelled the surgery and haven’t looked back”.

“After years of conventional counseling to help cope with the trauma of sexual abuse as a child, I realized I was still suffering from a lot of negative emotions, that were keeping me from being happy. I went in search of something that would bring peace into my life.

EFT has done that for me. The emotional blockages associated with sexual abuse have gone! I have discovered a sense of self and now have peace and joy in my life”.

“This is amazing, I’ve been looking at this piece of chocolate all day and I haven’t eaten it, I don’t even want it. I never could have done that before…

I recommend this powerful experience in a nurturing, sharing group environment. I’ve gained wonderful insights, awareness and tools for my Self Development.”

"Since our session 3 days ago I've stopped taking morphine and been completely pain free.... I've had the best nights sleep in as long as I can remember"

I have found Russell Cunningham to be an expert and professional practitioner of EFT. He greatly assisted me in working through some deep seated emotional stresses that had impacted my working and family life. I've worked in the Self development field myself and I am of the opinion that EFT is the singular most powerful self development tool I have ever encountered. I now use EFT in my life daily and since being introduced to it some months ago I have increased my self esteem, improved my level of confidence and increased the happiness and joy I have with my family. In the short time I have been using EFT I have already advanced my career, increased my wealth and enhanced my well being. -

"I have had three sessions with Russell over the course of six months and I am so grateful for every one of them. Each one has been so powerful, we have unblocked blockages that I did not even know existed, which has allowed to me move forward in leaps and bounds after every session.

Russell's peace, calmness and knowledge is inspiring and had been and invaluable part of my spiritual journey. I have learnt and practiced many healing techniques over the years but nothing has come close to the healing I have received from the various techniques Russell taught me.

On my first meeting with Russell I knew exactly what I needed but I had no idea how to get it. I needed a part time job for 10 hours a week that paid really well so that I was able to study full time at university, pay rent and bills and have a small amount left over for fun. I had no idea what type of work to look for. Two days after my session with Russell I was in a part of Melbourne that I have never been to before and I walked past a shop with a sign in the window. Part time employee needed ten hours a week. It was weekend work with a huge hourly rate, you needed to be a qualified aromatherapist to work their, which I am. I walked in and the job was mine. Two days later!! It was somewhere I have never been and something that I had never thought to try but I am still here now and I still love it!

The second time I went to Russell I knew something was wrong but I had no idea what it was. At the end of an intense two hour session I had a past life vision that changed my life now dramatically, and helped me to move forward from my divorce more that anything else ever had. I realised that the man I married and what had happened to me was part of a much bigger picture and there was nothing I could have done to prevent it, just to learn from it to help with the next part of my journey, which exactly what I have been able to do since that session.

On my third session I realised was able to unblock the issue that was causing me to gain and retain so much weight. I have not wanted to eat anything unhealthy ever since my last session, and have even sought out and cooked healthy meals, now I only eat until I am full and I never over eat, I even leave food on my plate, something I have not done in years. I don't even feel it is a conscious choice to do this, I just have no desire to put anything toxic in my body. This morning I even got up early to do some yoga before work. A decision I did not have to agonise over, I just felt like doing it so I did. The weight is falling off and I just feel that is a consequence of my new found happiness. I am not happier because I am losing weight. I am happy because of the blockages that Russell and I unblocked and losing weight is just a great side effect from that."

“I have spent many hours of counseling and quite a sum of money over the last 20 years. I was molested as a child and blamed myself because I allowed it to happen. My first marriage broke up and I felt my second was heading that way also. I felt a failure because of this problem I had.

Since applying EFT I feel a different person, I have finally found the solution at the age of 72 years. I feel free at last. Thank you Verena and Russell God bless you both”.

“Russell & Verena have lovingly and successfully guided me in my relationships with my husband, family, friends and business. The tools I have acquired have been invaluable for my personal growth.

It’s fascinating to watch the growth of others around me as a result of the positive changes I have made.”
