"Somatic Acupoint Tapping provides a precise, somatically grounded pathway for working with emotional intensity"
Somatic Acupoint Tapping (SAT) supports emotional regulation, nervous system stabilisation, and deep processing for both yourself and the clients you work with.
It is a structured, trauma-informed modality that activates the body’s innate capacity to regulate and reorganise distress patterns.
Rather than analysing the story alone, SAT works directly with how emotional intensity is encoded in the body-mind.
You will learn how to:
- Target emotional activation at its somatic source
- Reduce intensity safely and ethically
- Support clients through stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and trauma-related activation
- Shift limiting beliefs by working with embodied emotional charge
- Facilitate lasting regulation rather than temporary relief
Through this process, clients can experience increased calm and clarity, greater emotional resilience, reduced reactivity, improved self-regulation & a deeper sense of embodied presence.
SAT is about precision, safety, and transformation through nervous system regulation.
As a practical and powerful practitioner skill, SAT equips you with a method you can apply immediately, whether as a standalone modality or integrated into your existing work.
I AM READY TO START THE JOURNEYWho is Keith Hulstaert?
Somatic Acupoint Tapping Trainer & Practitioner
With over 25 years of experience in counselling, meditation, and energy psychology modalities, Keith Hulstaert has helped hundreds of clients resolve trauma, overcome anxiety and phobias, reduce PTSD symptoms, and shift deeply ingrained emotional patterns.
Keith began working with tapping modalities in the early 2000s and has since undertaken extensive advanced training in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Faster EFT/Eutaptics, NLP, BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT), trauma processing methods, and professional supervision.
He has been recognised internationally for his advanced practitioner work and was invited by Robert Smith, creator of Faster EFT/Eutaptics, to attend specialised training in Hawaii.
His work integrates energy psychology, somatic awareness, trauma-informed practice, and nervous system regulation to create precise, effective interventions that target emotional intensity at its source.
Keith’s passion for this work was born during a pivotal period in his own life, when personal challenges led him to explore deeper therapeutic modalities. What began as personal exploration evolved into a lifelong commitment to helping others find resolution, clarity, and emotional freedom.
Having also spent many years in executive corporate roles, Keith brings a grounded, real-world understanding to his work — allowing him to connect with a wide range of individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Keith has now partnered with The Centre for Healing to create and deliver the Somatic Acupoint Tapping Certification. A structured, trauma-informed practitioner training designed to equip students with a powerful and practical modality.

"Hi Keith, after having seen you for a Tapping session I felt relaxed and was in less pain immediately.
I was also able to sleep better and sleep a whole night through. Prior to my session with you I was in a lot of pain to my lower back region and was concerned that I would not be able to play rugby to my best ability.
Since seeing you I have returned to rugby training twice per week!
Thanks Heaps!"
S.R.

Keith is able to get to the core of that problem in a gentle and supportive manner."
