DEPRESSION
In November 2018, I was under severe depression due to vertigo and its bizarre complications which had developed in June 2018. On the one hand, I wanted to die, and on the other hand, I kept looking for solutions to my nightmare. I suddenly thought of Puja Kanth ( my classmate from school) and her EFT therapy.
Puja, then came to me as one of the many saviours who have helped and supported me in this long struggle that I have had with vertigo. I am still dealing with it even today, but now I have learnt to manage it. She was kind enough to come home to Besant Nagar and do one-on-one therapy sessions with me for a period of one year. This was followed by a couple of online sessions.
The sessions, her gentle voice, her non-judgemental way of looking at things and most importantly, the tapping on the various points with affirmations helped me greatly to come out of my depression. EFT makes you look at life positively in spite of the obstacles that may come your way.
I still follow many of the tapping techniques and have made quite a few positive affirmations of my own which I repeat religiously every single night before going to sleep.
Thank you Puja for being there when I needed you.

Overcoming Stress
Even being a psychology practitioner myself, I took help for my own issues, which I was facing time to time. She helped me by making me apply EFT techniques on myself and also helped me to learn it to overcome similar issues for future. I noticed that she is capable of pinning down to actual problems at belief level and also knows how to modify them for long term recovery. In my eyes she is a very able psychologist and very professional in her practice. I wish her all the best for helping people with her knowledge and contribute to the benefit of society in this manner.

Childhood Sexual Abuse
I wanted to share my great success in working with Puja Kanth. She worked with me for many EFT sessions with grace, ease, and compassion! She helped me identify many layers of trauma that I had been holding on to from the past. This trauma had caused me to have anxiety, depression, and digestive issues for the last 10 years which had held me back in so many areas of my life. Each session we uncovered more and more to release and let go with the use of EFT. What I realized was that it was just stored memories that I held on to and could now release. I have seen great improvement in my health, daily anxiety, sleep, and thoughts due to her work with me. I feel like I am starting to live the life I have wanted after so many years. I still practice on my own and know that more great results will come. Thank you for the blessing you are to others and your healing touch!

Emotional Trauma
I loved Puja's understanding approach to my problems. She was constantly taking notes and we would tap out every little thing that I said. I had anxiety, anger and self esteem issues. After doing a few EFT issues, my anxiety and anger were in control. Hence, I started having a more positive image about myself. I realized people are more positive towards me and I have less conflicts with people. Simply because, with a calmer state of mind I'm able to understand them better. I repeat the affirmations Puja gave me whenever I start getting anxious. My mind starts calming down after that. She is very good at getting at the core issue and I found that tapping out on the root cause of the problem really helped. I have been to other EFT practitioners but I liked Puja's approach the best. Also, because she is non judgemental and compassionate, I was able to open up to her and share my problems honestly.

School & Sports Performance
My son has been doing very well since the beginning of this year. He is doing good in Calculus (something he tapped for during your sessions). He ran a couple of cross-country meets and has come in the first and second places. He is quite happy about it. He still has some issues with focus, listens to a lot of music even during his homework. But the good news is " No league of legends" . And we are absolutely delighted to share this with you. He told me the other day that it is good that he stopped playing the game. Thanks for all your help, Puja.

Despair & Discontent
Its amazing how the right words can make a huge difference for getting results in EFT. Puja is remarkable at getting to the crux of the issue very quickly , she can navigate through the confused and vague expressions of a distressed person and identify the fundamental issue that needs healing. She can find the right words that untie the tightest knots located in the darkest corners of your psyche with such ease that in one stroke you feel you have taken a leap to the other side and left your darkness behind for life. The after effects of Puja's sessions stayed with me for many months as though the healing continued inside quietly for a long time.

Spiritual Issues
I had just 4 telephone sessions with Puja and learned so much in that time. My work is basically on spiritual issues and childhood trauma. Although these are complicated, she really helped me progress. Best thing - she armed me with the miraculous tool of EFT and even emailed me my affirmations etc. Her psychology background gives her extra effectiveness. Bravo Puja!

Social Anxiety
Having been weighed down with fears / phobias and self image issues for the better part of my adult life, I initially approached EFT with scepticism, but also with an open mind. I had already tried CBT a few years back, with modest results. I wanted to try something different that would help me get rid of my issues once and for all. Since taking up EFT a couple of years back, I’ve been amazed by the results it has given me. I still have a long way to go to make full potential of EFT; but the beauty, simplicity and the immediate impact it has on your system will leave you with no doubt about EFT’s effectiveness. I recommend everyone to give it a try. With no side effects whatsoever; there is really nothing to lose. And you can’t ask for a better therapist than Puja to take you through the process. With just the right amount of persistence and patient listening, she helps you to open up and gets to the core of the problem. I’ve experienced instant cognitive shifts on many occasions purely based on the tactful way in which Puja frames the affirmations, some of which are even laced with humour 🙂 I think the added advantage of being a qualified psychologist gives her a unique perspective that helps her ask the right questions, and to understand the issues from all possible angles. Many a time, just talking to her about my fears and self image issues has made me feel better. I can’t thank Puja enough for giving me hope and having such a positive influence on my life.

Relationship Break-up Counseling
Puja is extremely logical, well-read, empathic, professional at the same time and can get to the core of the problem and always have the right comments and examples to make her client feel better. I contacted her couple of months after my breakup, as I was not able to deal with it, as my g.f ended it bit irresponsibly and I am very emotional person. Anyways there is never a benchmark for breakups but my g.f's comments made me low on my confidence about my own personality. Puja helped me come out of it, helped me accept the way I am and also with working on myself to get better on issues I wanted. Best thing was, she helped me the way I wanted to do it, like without blaming her (g.f) or proving her wrong, the focus had to be just ME. She did it initially with EFT, frankly I didn't do much of EFT but whatever little I did, helped me. Later she did more of counselling on me and since she is true professional along with empathic, I was able to tell her things which I cannot share with any body else. Taking counselling from her, helped me come out of things which otherwise could have scarred me for years. I feel much better now and focusing again on my life. I recommend her without any doubts.

Chronic Abuse & Trauma
I’ve always considered myself an extreme tough case way too damaged to heal: not only I’ve been mentally, physically and emotionally abused by my parents and older siblings my whole life, in my teens when I finally had the courage to seek help I was also abused by ‘reputable’ psychiatrists and therapists. I then went from one abusive boyfriend to another with very few exceptions. I felt powerless living in an invisible prison of endless negative patterns and pain. Puja is a genius when it comes to EFT. The healing that took place in some particular chronic issues came as close to a ‘miracle’ as one can hope to get! Not only she makes change possible, she makes it a fast and pleasant experience too! I love the way she gives you the tools to handle your problems on your own which made me feel powerful and in control of my life again. Puja is definitely the Guru of EFT in India!

Psoriasis & Emotional Issues
Dear Puja: In these eight sessions that I have had with you; there has been a world of transformation in my life. Although we had started my treatment for psoriasis and diabetes, there were so many other problems that got tackled and resolved. In my very first session my itching had reduced to negligible; my family members noticed that the puffiness on my face had gone, my voice was also less tense and I too felt calm and peaceful. I think this statement ... I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself is a powerful healing tool. (Love conquers all and what better than to give your ownself that love and acceptance.)It was also truly amazing how when I tapped on forgiving my husband, I saw a remarkable change in his behaviour the next day - by this I clearly understand that forgiveness is a key step in healing yourself and clearing the air around you. Another very interesting session was when we tapped on my not valuing gold because of which I had felt that I had lost most of my gold ornaments - and immediately within two days I suddenly chanced upon my gold earrings that I had thought were lost and recently I also found a gold necklace that was part of my trousseau but was missing for an year. Thanking you - my dear angel healer; I feel truly blessed for having contacted you and going through the sessions has been a great learning experience. I now feel empowered to deal with so many day to day problems. My heart blesses Mr. Gary Craig for giving EFT to the world- He truly and unanimously deserves the Nobel Prize for this great healing gift to mankind. Thanking you again , with fond regards,

Marital Issues
It is not always about EFT… Its so so very important to have a practitioner who gets the pulse of the issue so so smoothly… and THAT’s Puja Kanth Alfred for you… When I went to Puja - I needed serious HELP… and I turned to Puja as a last resort… having been disappointed with my previous EFT practitioner. I had to deal with a marriage which was a non starter… and I was anyways contemplating on quitting the marriage… but strangely kept postponing it… what was it that was holding me back? I loved my husband dearly but was not able to forgive him for so many deprivations… I desperately wanted to rewind my life and now I was just plain feeling miserable, upset, depressed, sad, angry and above all - empty…. Pitfalls? - stuffing my face with the wrong foods, alcohol, spending monies on clothes, restaurants, …. And in the end - losing all my defence systems… cold, flu, sinusitis, itches, ….and High BP!!!! Not a month went past without a visit to the doctors…. and oh yes! Don’t get me started on the issues at the work place…. I almost felt sure that I had no HOPE in this lifetime…. Enters Puja… completely out of the blue.. I cant even begin to tell you how INSTANTLY I responded to her… She didn’t even let me feel that she was healing me with one issue after another.. and let me tell you - it wasn’t a long haul at all… Today I can see a paradigm shift in my inner being… I AM CALM.. Suddenly - thanks to all the tapping and releasing of anger and frustration, the husband suddenly seems like the best guy I could have bargained for.. look at the miseries around you… everything seemed so much better… I found myself counting my blessings… He was such a nice guy…I really cant begin to tell you - how the quality of my life has changed completely.. and how I feel like a lot calmer and a very happy person… I am unable to believe the contrast that has come to stay with my inner being… …of finding my happiness and peace,… Puja is someone I would swear by and who I will keep going back to - if not for anything .. just to get myself reviewed I am so glad I found you Puja..

Releasing Fear
I am deeply greatful to Puja and her patient caring way, that after a view EFT sessions I released my fears of moving to the US; a dream I was holding in my mind for many years. I was very satisfied with the very professionel way Puja was leading the sessions. EFT is a great tool to change ones mindset , make meaningful decisions and release blocks and wounds from childhood that do not serve our present life.

Trauma & Multiple Sclerosis
Rediscovering myself: I was working for a good organization and was in a good position, but had to give up my job for my health condition. Last one year was a series of trauma which led to self pity and the fear to meet anyone as I thought I was no good to anyone and people are looking down at me as a handicap and this created tension with family and friends. I used to brood whenever given an opportunity. I was undergoing homeopathic treatment for my health condition and my doctor recommended I should do EFT( Emotional Freedom Technique) by Gary Craig. I searched through the website and could not find any practitioner in India. I used to receive the newsletters and read the articles and watch the videos but looking at the cost, I gave up the idea of doing it. Today I realise that it was just an excuse that I was giving myself. Then finally I started browsing through the site again and found that there is a practitioner in India, Puja Kanth. I shared with my husband and he encouraged me to go ahead. I contacted her and I started the session from 21st December '09. Each time I had a session with her, I could remember my traumas and share it with her. She makes you feel so relaxed; and I could relate all my fears, anger and hatred that I had developed and which I had suppressed and become a closed person. She also gives you directions so I could open up and see the positive side. She is a miracle in my life and today I don't regret my decision of taking the sessions under her. She has not only helped me fight my ailment with a positive mind and made me open to it but also helped me improve my relation with my loved ones. Although I still find difficulty in my movements but it does not make me brood. I know how to handle it and not get worked up. Puja, through EFT has guided me how to overcome that and I am confident I will overcome this health condition too. Today I don't feel like a loser and have started my passion without any fear. Puja encouraged me and gave me ideas to carry on with my passion. My family and friends are noticing the transformational change in me. EFT is a beautiful tool and with Puja's guidance it becomes easy to use and she ensures the person can independently use EFT if they come across any problems that troubles the physical or mental condition. Best part is that she responds to any doubt I have, and brings a smile on my face each time she responds. Thanks Puja from the bottom of my heart for rediscovering myself and moving ahead.

Rediscovering the Self
We all share some significant amount of complications in our life, dealing with them the right way makes all the difference! Puja is straight talking, to the point and a very compassionate therapist. From therapy to EFT it has been an awesome experience, having her work out the tiny knots in my life. EFT is like a vitamin pill for me now. I am glad she has helped me find the person I once was, something which each wife and mother most often forget.

Alcohol Addiction
I got to know about EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) around April-May this year (2009). I watched a video called ‘EFT For Newcomers’, which featured Gary Craig (founder of EFT) explaining how to perform EFT on yourself. There was something about EFT which made sense to me; so I started looking up stuff on the internet about it. Soon after that I watched the documentary ‘Try It On Everything’, and I knew for sure that this technique could help me change my life. I checked Gary Craig’s website (www.emofree.com) to look for licensed EFT practitioners in India, and came across Puja’s details there. I contacted Puja via telephone and told her about the issues in my life that I wanted to sort out and asked her if she could offer any help. She offered to help me and we started having counseling and EFT sessions over the internet via Skype. I had abused drugs and alcohol for about 14-15 years (I tried cleaning up in between but always relapsed). Some other issues that were affecting me were guilt about being a bad son, depression, anger, tremendous stress, impatience, paranoia when going to crowded places (I always kept myself away from people during the drug abuse phase), low self confidence, low self-esteem, just to mention a few. I could not believe how fast my EFT sessions with Puja helped me deal with all the above mentioned problems. I now have a reason to wake up every morning with a smile on my face and look forward to the day ahead. Everything about my life has changed. I used to be extremely pessimistic about everything. Now, I confront challenges with a smile and don’t let the outcome affect me negatively. From having absolutely no reason to live, I am now enjoying each day to it’s fullest. I can confidently say that I am at peace with myself (after 15 years of negative emotions built up inside me…..I think I would have had a nervous breakdown if I didn’t realize that I couldn’t solve my problems by myself and needed help from a professional). EFT is a truly powerful technique that can be used to deal with any problems you may have, and doing the sessions with Puja is a truly life changing experience.

Traumatic Childhood & Low Self Esteem
After a slumber I woke up to write this testimonial that Puja deserves. After a lot of deliberation 3 months ago, I decided to take her refuge; not because of the dilemma that whether I really needed counseling but more so because of the stigma attached to seeking help from psychologists in India. Anyways... today I am more than happy that I made the right decision and also on time!. When I approached Puja, I had the lowest self-esteem possible; my relationships were falling apart, went into depression intermittently and could never come out of it. I harbored a lot of emotional baggage since childhood; for which I consistently blamed my self. For each and every problem like financial crisis that I saw early in my life, domestic violence, chain smoker and drunkard father...a pathetically weak mother who was insulted and beaten every day. I saw things that I as a child should not have seen. But I always gathered and accumulated a feeling that whatever had happened and is happening is because of me. Anyways childhood passed-somehow. I became more calm and composed as I reached undergrad and then started working as an IT professional. But the emotional baggage that I carried for so long just did not leave me... rather I could not let go any of it. All these started to have an awful impact on my present and brilliant relations that I could make later in life... Again...ridden with habit, I started to blame myself... "I was the cause, Its me ...the problem is me.. I will never be able to do the right thing.. I do not really deserve happiness... I feel guilty when someone appreciates me, I can’t assimilate happiness in life for long, It has always been me...since childhood” And the past daemons never ever left me. They haunted me...they were always there at the back of my mind/subconscious. And when I recalled those incidents that made the emotional burden for me.. I used to become highly charged with emotions, misery used to grip me and I would cry to alleviate. But to no gain. Only after I started the sessions... I was enlightened that childhood does shape you the way you are at present, it plays an extremely important role in making you the person you are today. It impacts your ability to make decisions in present. And unless you make peace with your past, you will never be able to move ahead in life. Mostly just by stating out my fears and past life experiences and critical incidents made me lighter. Things that I had never told anyone... Then the next step of application of EFT was like a medicine. I think its like homeopathy...not fast and effective if your body does not respond to it. And yes initially my mind also did not respond that well to EFT...but with time and persistence...it started to show positive effects. Thanks to Puja who kept harping at it. She was not only non-judgmental, but actually kept listening to me and paid real attention and importance to each and everything that I had to share and in the process we both found out lot of things; like origin of my fear of having relationships, attachment, fear of marriage, living in a family, inability to socialize and make friends, low body confidence, all that surfaced because of talking things out and then alleviating the intensity of emotions by constantly applying EFT. Today, (I will not say I feel like a king), but I am confident. I have actually started to appreciate my looks, my strengths...I give more credit to myself than I used to. And whenever I feel I am getting back into the 'miserable' mode, I use EFT...just like that...when I am walking, brushing my teeth and thinking about something and criticizing myself etc, in class, in market place.. It’s a great tool…for life! I won’t thank Puja because I can’t thank her enough.

Panic Attacks & Phobias
Its been 4 years since I have been using EFT for panic and phobia. I once found no effect with it as I was not well assisted in applying EFT by the previous therapists. With Puja, I regained the lost confidence and I have been able to use EFT again in many kinds of Phobia and Panic attacks. My Story - 1. I had to once take the night bus and was terrified to be in the bus from night till morning in the closed space. I started having anxiety 1 hour before boarding the bus. I was ready to cancel the trip and I had done this a few times already! This time I started tapping using the set of affirmations Puja gave. To my disbelieve after doing only 4 rounds I became calm and composed. The tapping also changed my fear towards traveling; I was looking forward to the event and totally enjoyed the travel to my surprise. 2. I had severe migraine for a few days and the remedy was not very helpful. I had one session with Puja and the severe migraine disappeared. My fear for traveling with the migraine also disappeared and I could travel without the anxiety again. 3. I have had severe PMS symptoms and with EFT now, they have reduced so much and with tapping many of the symptoms disappear completely. 4. The most important point in EFT is the choice of words we use in the tappings. As with my other therapists I was not able to neutralize a lot of the symptoms and they kept persisting . Puja is very persistent and precise in her choice of words in chasing the symptoms which I realized is a very important aspect in working through my chronic symptoms. She shows me very clearly how I can handle the symptoms by myself. I can see progress in my healing with Puja and EFT!

Stress Management
I had read about EFT and its benefits in relation to a health problem that I had but it was only after coming across Puja's website that I realized that EFT is a useful tool in handling emotional issues too. I took EFT along with counselling from Puja to handle some emotional problems that I had and the benefits have been immense. Puja is a very patient and good listener. She is quick in understanding the issues and giving her professional opinion in a very unbiased and firm way. She gave me the correct affirmations to handle the different emotions and helped me to remove the negative baggage that I was carrying. The counselling sessions that I had with her helped me to get the correct perspective of the problem and then deal with it accordingly. Coupled with EFT it helped me in remaining calm and composed even when the situation was tense. This is a great lesson that I have learnt and will probably help me in my life. Getting this therapy in the comfort of my home was a great blessing. I strongly recommend EFT to anyone who wants to get on top of a situation and is willing to use professional help for the same. Puja is very competent and helpful and will definitely make a huge difference. Best wishes and God bless !!

Emotional Blocks
I had started working with EFT on my own in 2008 but I thought I needed a practitioner to guide me. I tried a few over email but it did not work out when I discoved Puja Kanth's site and it clicked. I started sessions with her over Skype and was able to bring about a lot of healing within myself. I took 6 sessions with Puja. I have overcome many emotional blocks. Puja became a friend and I used to look forward to the sessions. I had met a few counsellors before but I was most comfortable with her. I am much more at peace with myself and am also more confident. Maybe I will get back to her someday again.?

Anxiety & Stress
I have achieved much of success in the sense that I am not getting that fearful thought while in sleep. It all happened due to consistent tapping on certain issues you are already aware of. I need to work on more, as you have earlier correctly observed, self esteem issues. My sessions with you have given me courage to further progress in my path of healing. But still I am open to going back to you for more sessions, don't know when. I thank you from my bottom of my heart for all the good work you have done for me. Thank you a lot and keep on the good work please. Yours sincerely,

Relationship Issues
It took me a while to talk my wife into trying EFT. She was apprehensive initially but when she tried it she has been hooked. She does EFT everyday which has helped her in many ways. I do see a big difference. Puja has been very good. She is a professional and very good. The fact that you can do this from the comfort of your home at night after you put the children to sleep, instead of going to someone and dealing with traffic etc, and get the good professional help makes it worth it. I definitely recommend EFT coached by Puja. I do want to thank you for all the help. EFT definitely helped us as a couple. I see a sea of change in myself and my wife. It is good to know that there is a tool to use whenever one needs it during testing times. Thanks for everything.

Fear and psycho-somatic problems
EFT is very powerful, no doubt! I have read countless testimonials saying the same, but I began to experience the power only when I began to work with Mrs. Puja kanth. Only when it begins to work for you, do you realize that you have a tool for life! The one most important thing I picked up from my sessions with her is that, the core of success with EFT lies in the construction of an affirmation. I believe that EFT removes baggages from the past that keep us from moving ahead and unleashing the best of our potentials. Its ability to destroy fear is awesome. In the 2 month span of my sessions with Mrs. Puja Kanth, I realized how vital positive emotions are to our health. More importantly, I understood negative emotions can destroy everything else that you may do to have great health. So, by making use of EFT I've quashed a number of negative emotions that held me back. But no matter what, taking action is the ultimate thing that you can do! EFT is a superb tool to get rid of what's holding us from taking action. And for that I'm deeply indebted to Mrs. Puja Kanth.

Anger and Low Self Image
The changes I feel from our sessions are phenomenal. Because of the tapping we did in our sessions, I now have greater control over my emotions, I feel more in control. Thank you especially for helping me let go of long standing anger issues. I also feel much better about myself after our sessions on my childhood incidents. I thank you and admire your expertise in bringing out hidden core issues. While I got moderate to satisfactory results when I tapped on my own, in our sessions you literally supercharged the results by identifying and neutralizing core issues rapidly. Thanks also for incorporating other healing modalities such as NLP in our EFT sessions. Great going, you deserve a five star rating! 🙂
