Hi, I’m Pravina Maharaj.
Thank you for visiting.
I’m a certified clinical EFT Tapping Practitioner & Life Purpose Coach, based in Durban, South Africa.
I’m passionate about personal self-development and guide my clients to tap into their own personal power to transform their lives.
I first discovered EFT tapping around 2002 & have found it to be an exceptional transformational tool.
EFT tapping is highly effective in dealing with a wide range of issues.

EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a powerful, holistic approach developed by Gary Craig.
EFT combines ancient acupressure and modern psychology to release emotional and physical blockages.
EFT Tapping is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine’s Acupuncture & focuses on tapping on the meridian points on the body to relieve symptoms of negative experiences or emotion. Think of it simply as acupuncture - but without the needles!
By tapping on specific meridian points, we can literally tap into our body's energy system and clear away negativity, restoring balance and promoting a profound sense of wellbeing.
Tapping is proven to reduce stress, lower cortisol, improve sleep, reduce anxiety, relieve pain, increase productivity, and so much more!
EFT tapping is easy to learn - even a child can do it.
It’s a phenomenal self-help tool that will truly transform your life.

Join me for a tapping session.
Tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on negative emotions can help to rewire the brain's response to stressors, promoting relaxation and emotional balance.
EFT RESEARCH - source: The Tapping Solution
Lower Cortisol Levels
A study by Dr. Peta Stapleton, published in 2012 in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, found that EFT Tapping lowered cortisol significantly more than traditional talk therapy or resting.
In a randomized, controlled trial, cortisol levels were measured via the saliva of participants before and after treatment. Each group received treatment for 50 minutes and cortisol was measured in their saliva before and after as well as psychological symptoms. The EFT Tapping group had a 24% drop in cortisol, while the non-treatment group and sympathetic listening groups only had a 14% drop in cortisol.
Minimize Test Anxiety
Test anxiety in high school students was reduced significantly after EFT Tapping.
In a large study, American researchers examined 312 high school students and identified 70 of them with high-level test anxiety using the Test Anxiety Inventory. They randomly assigned these 70 students to a control group that received progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) techniques or to an experimental group that received EFT Tapping treatment. A statistically significant decrease occurred in the test anxiety scores of both the experimental and control groups. The EFT group had a significantly greater decrease than the PMR group (p < .05). The scores of the EFT group were lower on the Emotionality and Worry subscales (p < .05).
Reduce Anxiety in Under 10 Minutes
Brain scans confirm 76% of patients treated with EFT experienced complete remission
This study included an inspection of brain changes after treatment for anxiety. It was the first EFT Tapping study to do so and used pre- and post-treatment functional brain imaging (through computerized EEG, evoked potentials, and topographic mapping). The brain scans show a shift toward normal levels of brain activity in patients treated with acupoint (EFT). The images shift from red (highly dysfunctional waves) to blue (calmer state), and this corresponded with a decrease in the frequency and intensity of anxiety symptoms. Patients who received CBT with medication also showed similar changes in their scans, but they took a longer treatment time to achieve this. After 1 year, CBT patients’ scans were more likely to have returned to their higher, pretreatment levels than the acupoint (EFT) patients. The EFT patients were more likely to maintain their improved state of lessened anxiety.
Fight Depression and Ease the Mind
EFT Tapping demonstrated a very large effect size (Cohen’s d across all studies was 1.31) in the treatment of depression.
A meta-analysis study for EFT Tapping and depression examined 20 studies and included outcome studies (with 446 people), as well as randomized clinical trials (a total of 653 people: 306 EFT and 347 control subjects). The outcome was that 90% of the treatment group was above the mean (average) of the control group and there was an 82% chance that a person picked at random from the Tapping treatment group would have a better score than a person picked at random from the control group. The average depression symptom reduction across all studies was 41%.
Healthcare Workers Alleviate Pain and Distress
4-hours of EFT Tapping produces a significant reduction in psychological distress, pain, and cravings in health care workers.
Immediately before and after a Tapping workshop, participants measured their pain levels, emotional distress, and food cravings. Everyone received a 2-hour workshop on EFT Tapping and then a 2-hour session where they self-applied the technique. After the 4-hours, they reported significant improvements in their pain levels, emotional distress, and food cravings.
90 days later all participants were contacted to see if they had continued to self-apply EFT Tapping once a week, 3 times a week, or not at all. Higher use of EFT Tapping was associated with a steeper decrease in psychological symptoms. The study found EFT Tapping to be effective for immediate and prolonged relief from issues typical in burnout: pain, distress, and cravings.
EFT Tapping Reduces Food Cravings
After Tapping, fMRI scans prove that those parts of the brain that usually activate cravings and hunger in response to certain foods no longer did.
In this study 15 obese adults in total; 10 were allocated to an EFT Tapping treatment, and 5 to a control group (where they received no intervention for their cravings). They were all scanned using fMRI before and after a four-week EFT Tapping treatment phase.

EFT Tapping was an incredible experience and something beyond what I expected. It was a bit tough facing up to those internal thoughts and feelings that are often buried, but it was a good way to release them and find healing. Pravina is a wonderful practitioner - she is sensitive, deeply compassionate and intuitive. I felt accepted and loved by her, and she explained things as she went along. When I'm ready, I'd love to come back for more. - Kathy Bosman
Pravina's EFT Tapping sessions are nothing short of transformative. With such skill, she unlocked a powerful healing journey for me. Her impact was profound; my stress levels diminished, and I found a renewed sense of calm and balance in so many aspects of life. Pravina's expertise and compassionate approach made every session a safe space for self-discovery for me. The techniques she employed were remarkably effective in addressing my concerns - and let me tell you, she goes the whole nine yards and then some; she goes way above her call of duty. I wholeheartedly recommend Pravina for anyone seeking not just a therapeutic experience, but a genuine catalyst for positive change, and a lifelong friend. I'm so grateful for the profound difference she has made in my life, and for her positive impact on my well-being." - Samantha Darsen
Pravina, opened her Tapping Offering to me a few months ago. The diligent attention to detail in addressing the various stressors and issues that were affecting my health were swiftly dealt with. The continued practice and check-ins were appreciated and helped to remove various long seeded items that were impacting my health in one way or another. I would no doubt whole-heartedly recommend Pravina’s Tapping sessions as they have been helping me to heal on many levels. - Rivashnee Singh
I’ve had 3 EFT tapping sessions with Pravina Maharaj. It was my first time and she had made me very comfortable in the session. She explained the entire process and provided constant guidance throughout. I had an incredibly positive experience in my sessions with her. Her unconditional positive regard, empathy and attentive approach made me feel truly heard and supported. Especially when unresolved emotions came through. I left the session feeling lighter and more hopeful, with valuable insights to carry forward. I highly recommend Pravina for anyone seeking a skilled and empathetic EFT therapist. - Nicholas Peter Pillay
I lost my mum. and shortly thereafter I was involved in accident. I was in constant pain physically and emotionally. This resulted in insomnia Ms Maharaj, a colleague, saw the pain I was going through and offered to do the ‘Tapping Therapy on me. I am critical of the alternative therapies in general.
But I gave this a chance only because Ms Maharaj saw my pain and she came to my aid. So I did my first session. It felt ok. After my second session I felt lighter and slept through the whole night. This was such a lovely feeling that I called up Ms. Maharaj for more sessions. As the number of sessions increased my pain decreased. My sleep patterns have also become regular.
Soon , thereafter, I left for India. I did ‘Tapping’ on the plane. Fell off to sleep easily. In India as soon I was settled I did the ‘Tapping.’ Behold . The friend that I was staying with knew about ‘Tapping.’ That was such a pleasant surprise. During my stay in India my friend and I did the tapping religiously. This also helped me to keep going during my short stay in India.
I am so grateful to Ms. Maharaj for introducing me to ‘Tapping’. I will recommend this to anyone. - Mala Lutchmanan
