This one session was amazing: I’ve had severe skin allergies from the time I was born – serious enough to put me in Denver Children’s Hospital for a whole year when I was a baby. I was allergic to foods, plants, all animals…all my life. When I was pregnant I had boils all up and down my legs. At the time of the session I had breakouts on my hands and legs. Damaris helped me find the causes of the problems: she used her unique spin on Emotional Freedom Techniques to teach me how to clear them, and I have had no problems since then. Now I’m petting dogs and cats when I want to, and have had no breakouts anywhere, since then. I thought I was going to live the rest of my life breaking out from everything I ate and everything I touched; this has been a profound change for me. Now I have no skin allergies at all! That was 100% elimination of my symptoms in 1 session!
“I have had the pleasure of being a participant in one of Dr. Drewry’s women’s groups as well as an individual client. First, Damaris showed me how to use EFT to diminish my severe allergy to cats. I was a big skeptic in the beginning – but after a few minutes of doing EFT, I see the results and have been won over!”
“I’ve had four sessions over 8 months with Dr. Drewry and have experienced deep relief from old traumatic experiences that I had no idea were causing apnea. After the first session my CPAP AHI levels dropped from 7 to zero. I can see in my daily work life how job stress causes apnea and I am learning to control it. My life has changed dramatically for the better and I have Dr. Drewry to thank for that.”
I got results from your Beyond Talk Therapy™ approach from the first session, and am absolutely thrilled with my new life. A whole new world has just opened up for me! I have gone many places I haven’t gone in years without wearing a mask over my mouth and nose; and I have been just fine! When I encounter a toxin I just can’t handle I have tools to deal with it. Thank you again for your wonderful assistance in my road to recovery!

“I have been released from the dark depths of shame, grief, and despair. For the first time in my life I am experiencing a sense of wholeness and personal goodness. I find it interesting that the anger toward my brother that I have felt so strongly in the past is gone. However, I still feel a sense of sadness for what we all endured. You have given me an incredible gift. Know that I will be forever grateful.
“Dr. Drewry helped me to address some core issues in my life and showed me how to clear the blocks in order to move through them. I found it exceptional that she was able to help me come to terms with my issues after one session, while I had never been able to fully resolve them after several years of therapy. She has a way of getting right to the heart of the matter. I feel like I have left the past behind and am now free to enjoy my life today.”
In my first session with Damaris she helped me unravel issues with my mother that had been locked away since I was an infant in a high chair. I had no idea that these experiences were causing me such unhappiness, self-sabotage and self-hatred today. She gave me the tools to release the experiences, books to help me understand my mother – which in turn has given me peace of mind. I found out that you are never too old for therapy! I am writing this in May of 2010 and I will be 60 this year and I’m experiencing the first happiness that I can ever remember. Damaris has a pure talent for helping you find what is wrong, identifying quickly what can be done and giving you absolutely amazing affirmations to do that are so right on with your issues. I felt IMMEDIATE results and relief and in 3 sessions find that I am empowered in my relationship with my mother for the first time in my life. I also lost 16 pounds in no time! I will be forever grateful to Damaris…a friend, a wonderful healer and a true blessing to all of us who share this planet.
… thank you for helping me get my life back!
“After being jolted by a painful divorce, you helped me regain a sense of control of my life and opened doors to new insights and a deeper sense of purpose. I would like to see more MEN take advantage of your expertise. It would make the world a better place.”
Background: 4 ½ years ago I saw my local MD and he referred me to a Neurologist in Tucson, and she referred me to a movement disorder specialist who injected me with 125 units of botox, with more treatment of 175 units 90 days later. When this didn’t work, I was referred to Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale – more botox and this time, directly into the tongue as well as jaws. The botox was so strong that I would actually foam at the mouth when I would drink water; amd though it was very small sips from a spoon, it would come out my nose. So, Mayo’s decided I would be a good candidate for DBS – major cranial surgery – but I didn’t do it. Found another team of doctors in Tucson, an ENT and Neurologist team, they lowered my botox to 65 units and I have been seeing them on a regular basis for over 3 years.
First Session with Dr. Drewry: She asked me a simple question: “what are the words that you have never allowed yourself to speak?” We talked for over an hour and then finished the session with EFT. Read more…
“Damaris helped me through a stressful, disturbing life passage with an unconventional method (Emotional Freedom Techniques) of releasing fears and old memories and heartaches. She takes your hand through the hard parts, gets to know you VERY quickly, and feels like a friend in a very short time. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to move on in life without taking forever to feel better.”
“At age 72 I am excited about life again after 3 sessions. I feel so much better in so many ways I can’t even begin to tell you. I see life differently. Everything is falling into place with wonderful memories. THANK YOU!”
“I was under a lot of pressure and stress from an investment my husband and I had made.
Our life savings and future earnings were put in jeopardy because of fraud. I had trouble sleeping, relaxing or enjoying myself.
I would waken after 2-4 hours sleep with a horrible feeling of fear which I couldn’t understand. So I had an hour and a half with Dr. Drewry which helped me understand where the fear was coming from which then allowed me to sleep and relax.
I would highly recommend a session with Damaris to allow joy and lack of worry back into your life.”
“I sought help for these freeway driving anxiety and agoraphobia but Damaris helped me clear all the major traumatizing events of my lifetime- some I had even forgotten but were creating extreme emotional havoc in my life. After only one session I could drive the car again, which I wasn’t able to do for months. I even drove on the interstate where I never before had dared to drive. I could hardly believe that one session undid what decades of therapy couldn’t, but Damaris and I actually did it together….
A few of the major events she helped me clear were: (1) living in Germany during the bombings of WWII: during the session it became clear that the reason I could not drive a car at age 70 was because my body remembered the claustrophobic terror of being a toddler in a bunker with bombs going off all around me, my mother and brother.
A few of the major events she cleared were: (1) living in Germany during the bombings of WWII: I felt I had in-utero fear built in from my mother’s emotions; (2) the reason I could not drive a car at age 70 was because my body remembered the claustrophobic terror of being a toddler in a bunker with bombs going off all around me, my mother and brother. Fast forward to Asheville NC in 2013 – If I got stopped at an intersection in traffic I would have an extreme panic/anxiety attack because it somehow felt like the bunker all over again – but I did not realize that until Damaris uncovered it.
“…So I had a second session with Damaris to work on some additional aspects, which had come up after my first meeting with her, and we cleared these remaining aspects, clearing the trauma filters through which I was viewing my life. Now my biggest problem is figuring out how to live without the constant fear and vigilance that have been with me my entire life. Imagine that – learning to live joyfully on a daily basis is my challenge!!
Over more than seven decades I was carrying a heavy backpack of traumas, and I paid a lot of money in Deutsche Mark, in Euro and finally in Dollars to get rid of it. Yes, it got lighter at times; but the causes of the traumatic experiences were not discovered by the many therapies I tried.
As a matter of fact I was deeply aware that many traumatizing events in my life were bothering me more than ever before in the last year until I found my way to Damaris.
The other major events Damaris helped me clear were the link between being ssaulted in a park when I was 15, panic attacks in every art museum I visit, and my recent inability to enjoy painting (I am an artist). It all made perfect sense and she used Emotional Freedom Technique and Neuro-Linguistic Programming to clear every traumatic event that was robbing me of my life today.
It is like a miracle: in the days to follow the two sessions I have been able to drive through life (literally and metaphorically) with ease and without fear. And when stress and tension come up in various situations, I have new tools to deal with them before a panic attack sets it.
The unique “therapy beyond talk” which Damaris is offering is a very powerful way to offer truly transformational life changes: from the burden of traumas to the freedom of life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Damaris.

“I was at a conference last week and overheard one woman telling another about her ‘frozen shoulder’. She said it had frozen up six months ago and she had just had a procedure done at great expense where doctors manipulated her shoulder while she was under general anesthetic. She had tried everything but nothing gave her relief. At this point I interrupted her, asked her if she had 15 minutes to spare and we walked off into a relatively quiet part of the hotel lobby. I asked her what was happening in her life when her shoulder “froze.” After asking her about 5 questions it appeared that she had locked away into that shoulder, anger she felt she had no right to express. She started to cry and said her daughter enlisted in one of the armed forces and left right before Christmas leaving her two children for Mom and Dad to take care of. Her level of discomfort was a “10.” I asked her to tap and start moving her shoulder and say…”Even though I am angry with my daughter for risking her life and leaving me with this burden, I deeply love and accept myself and all of my feelings. Even though I am supposed to be nice and cooperative and helpful and anger is NOT an acceptable emotion, I deeply and completely love and acknowledge my right to my feelings.” She kept rotating her shoulder with increasing range of motion as she said, “I give myself permission to acknowledge and express my anger in an acceptable way – I have the right to be angry and to say so.” We stopped there because we had limited time. She had recovered about 50% of her normal range of motion and her discomfort level fell to about a 2 or 3. All this within 15 minutes.
Damaris, you are a very bright light! I wanted to thank you again for the work you did with me a few weeks ago and share a few thoughts on my experience of the process. You reminded my that my own intention was enough, if only I truly believed that. I took that as a challenge. For years I had made this same statement but had failed to really put it to the test. It was time now for me to ‘put up or shut up.’ I am happy to report that it’s true, now from a place of experience and Knowing.
First, let me say you were very helpful in ‘pulling the cork out of the bottle.’ As you may recall, I was experiencing fear upon going to bed at night. I was so skeptical that I was on the verge of dismissing the entire session as a failure. The thing that tipped the scale in favor of your work was: During the session the higher part of you continued to speak directly to the higher part of me, while brushing aside (and refusing to engage) the drama I was delivering to you. The tipping point was the undeniable clarity and integrity with which you spoke, that ultimately resonated with the higher part of me. You were in essence, reminding me who I really am, reminding me of the truth of my being. It was as if you were giving me a hand up out of the swamp. And my task was not to continue to wallow in sorting out the drama, but to simply step out of it entirely. That is the choice I made.
Thank you
“I am so very grateful to you for your generous spirit and willingness to work with me on the lineage issues. I am stronger, I am confident, and I am proud of me. I’ve been trying to think of the words I could say that describe how much our work has helped me. Damaris embodies profound insight and understanding, far more than empathy. She is a generous soul willing to share the journey from the initial troubled soul searching to discovery and enlightenment, with knowledge, wisdom and humor.” I found her to be powerful and steadfast in her ability to guide me in my work. She taught me how to explore, how to focus, how to clear my mind and energy and soul of those long-seated ideas and past hurts. Bringing them to the light of day empowered me to look at them, study them, acknowledge and release them. And now I am joyfully me.”
I want to take this opportunity at the end of the year to give you thanks for the possibilities that you opened up for me in 2008. Our session opened the door for the many blessings that I received this past year. I came to you looking for a solution to what I thought was a physical problem,but the cause was years of emotional and spiritual injuryl. Within the course of this year I have changed my perception, and that has changed my life. Many things that I thought were lost to me have been restored this year. Thank you
“I hate to be one of those “it changed my life” people… but it did! I originally sought help recovering from a narcissistic parent. After our first session I had the best night’s sleep that I have had in years! I still woke up a few times during the night, but I was able to fall back asleep quickly and DEEPLY. The first session had a profound effect on me, but it took another session for the deeper changes to take place and I felt a significant shift. When I got the recordings I did listen to them and practiced the tapping along with the clearing part and I do believe this process helped me integrate the new way of thinking.
My life used to feel like a fractured bowl that I was struggling to hold together – now it is being glued back together! (see photo of Karen holding a beautiful bowl she made after her sessions)
I was able to reframe my disappointing relationships with men in my life, and no longer carry the heavy burden of anger and resentment.”
I just wanted you to know that after 5 years of feeling unable to let go of a painful relationship ending, the shackles are off and I am eternally grateful for your professional expertise. I know now the answer I needed to let go of a painful relationship ending entirely!
“A subconscious message was running my life…”
“I had been feeling frustrated and confused about what was holding me back in achieving certain goals in my work and personal life. I KNOW I am good at what I do, but, even after a lot of traditional therapy and other personal work over the years I hadn’t been able to deeply understand or access the beliefs, thoughts and feelings that were contributing to my confusion and frustration. As it turns out the reason was the narcissistic wounding that happened to me via my mother as I was growing up. The main message that was stopping me was that I “couldn’t and shouldn’t go for what I want”.
I feel that after only two sessions with Dr. Drewry I already am making progress. The books she recommended are helping me to understand my own experiences and change the way I define myself. I’m feeling lighter, more focused and more willing to feel my feelings as they show up. And significantly, I’m more willing and able to move forward and do the work to heal that deep, narcissistic wound – that will help me achieve my personal and professional goals.
I can easily and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Drewry. She is not only highly skilled In both traditional and non-traditional approaches, but is also highly intuitive. This combination is powerful in getting to the root issues quickly and easily.”

“First session: I learned from Damaris that it is a hallmark of narcissistic bosses to place the new employee on a pedestal – chosen because that new person will make the boss look good. Once you fail to reflect the spotlight on the narcissistic boss and claim any accolades for yourself, you become a threat. I found myself replaced by a new person who took over 75% of my job and left me feeling demoted. I realized what I thought was a shortcoming in myself, was really the fact that I was drawn to work environments and people who were narcissists. After a while things started collapsing … I’m asking myself “how can this be after I’ve been my most amazing and capable self at work”… and then – all of a sudden it changes.
Now I see the connection between my narcissistic parent and narcissistic boss. And I understand that it’s not about me and my abilities – it was about my boss’s needs to control my emotions by taking me on an emotional roller coaster ride to feed his need for “narcissistic supply”.
I realize my current workplace has been just a repetition of other narcissistic bosses… Ultimately, this new awareness from my sessions and the readings Damaris recommended, gave me the courage to quit my job! I’ve been wanting to start my own business for years!”
“I have been to see several people for many years for the same problem ….my unhappy relationships with men. I did not get clear on some of my issues, and still repeated the same patterns over and over. In my first session with Dr. Drewry I got to the core of the problem having to do with my father; I feel like I can finally heal this life long pattern once and for all…… thank you
“Words are insufficient to express the magnitude of the transformation that I’ve experienced with the help of Dr. Damaris Drewry. She helped uncover the love, intelligence, courage, and so many other wonderful things that are inside me, waiting to be expressed. She helped me find my way home to who I truly am. I’m filled with gratitude to Damaris.
By the second session I no longer stopped breathing in my sleep.
One session resolution in June 2008. Steve says he is still free of apnea symptoms in February 2014!
Steve had sleep apnea for 38+ years:
“After only one EFT session, I went home and slept without my c-pap machine for the first time in fifteen years. I am now dedicated to sharing this news with others who suffer with sleep disorders. I also struggled with insomnia so my sleep patterns were not healthy, and we resolved those issues in two more sessions.”
See his video testimonial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFt9n9GlB70
I am not entire free of the sleep apnea yet but my wife reports it is greatly reduced. Damaris connects the dots between past events and present problems in a way that is extremely helpful and insightful. Most of my issues began with ETHER anesthetic in 3 childhood surgeries. Kent in North Carolina. Kent a year later: my symptoms came back but I have not followed the nightly 5 minute protocol of using Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) to maintain my body’s ability to breathe continuously all night long.
“The remarkable pivot point in getting rid of sleep apnea was in Dr. Drewry’s method: the uncovered the relationship between the CPAP mask and tubing, and the fact that I was born premature (not breathing well on my own) and kept alive in an incubator with a ventilator mask on my face for several weeks. As near as I can tell without a sleep study I am sleeping AND breathing normally after less than one month!
I had been told I had sleep apnea for at least 20 years before I decided to undergo a sleep study which confirmed 31 apnea events in an hour. I started using a CPAP. Unfortunately I had such a struggle sleeping with the machine that I put it aside. Worried about dying in my sleep without the CPAP, I started having severe anxiety and insomnia.
A close friend who was aware of my situation suggested I check out Dr. Damaris Drewry’s website and her alternative healing approach to sleep apnea. After two sessions the improvement was obvious and gratifying. After three sessions I’m pleased to report that the insomnia seems to have gone away. I have slept normally the last few consecutive nights. Neither falling asleep nor going back to sleep after awaking has been a problem even after a moderate amount of alcohol to celebrate my 64th birthday.”
Dr. Drewry worked closely with me in between sessions via email updates and I found that very helpful.
I am 47 years old and I’ve had sleep apnea for all of my adult life. I tried every conventional treatment available, including sleep studies and CPAP machines. The CPAP helped my sleep apnea, but I couldn’t tolerate it and I would rip the tubes off my face in my sleep. I retired my CPAP machine and resigned myself to just living with sleep apnea.But for the past six years, I would often awake in the middle of the night on my hands and knees in bed gasping for breath. It became scary to go to sleep at night. I tried acupuncture, acupressure, energy work and other alternative therapies, but nothing was effective. After one session with Dr. Drewry…….my sleep apnea was gone and I now sleep through the night every night. The first night after our session, my body felt light and tingly as oxygen was continuously delivered to my whole body. I now wake up feeling rested and energetic and relaxed. What an amazing difference! Finding Dr. Drewry was a miracle for me because I truly thought it wasn’t possible to heal this condition. I’m so glad I gave her the chance to help me. She is thorough, professional, efficient and incredibly effective. I highly recommend her!
My name is Dan Newman, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tucson, AZ. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea back in 1998. My first treatment was surgery – I had a “velopharyngeal plasti” procedure which was a surgical removal of my uvula and part of my palette. This was absolutely the most painful surgery I have ever experienced, and I’ve had several! That worked for 3 or 4 years, then I was back where I had started. Then the apnea returned, and I went to a CPAP machine, which stopped the physiological aspect of sleep apnea, but replaced it with the discomfort of trying to sleep with a gas mask attached to a tube, attached to a noisy machine that dried out my throat…I could go on, but the bottom line it was not a very comfortable solution. So I tried a “pure sleep” Mandibular advancement device, a plastic device that keeps my lower jaw jutting forward. The only problem is that I woke up with pain in my teeth and jaw, and my jaw still pops when I chew on my left side. So when my friend Damaris asked if I would be willing to see if a “Beyond Talk Therapy” session in which she uses EFT to address the “body’s bio-intelligence” could help my sleep apnea, I agreed, although somewhat cynically.
Well, It’s been over three weeks. I haven’t used my machine or my mouthpiece, and I’ve been sleeping like a baby. My girlfriend tells me I no longer snore, and she is absolutely thrilled with the new me. To say I’m intrigued with EFT is an understatement, and I’ve been watching the “Tapping world summit since day one. What has become very clear to me is that Dr. Drewry has developed a protocol that differs from what I’m hearing on the summit, and which actually makes more sense to me. I use EMDR extensively in my practice, and I know the power of trauma. Damaris found the trauma that caused my apnea, and she addressed it, and the results have been absolutely amazing.
“Thank you for helping to open my mind to the possibility of being completely different, and for creating a safe space for me to acknowledge and accept my own traumas, whether or not I even remembered them. I may not have been consciously in my body long enough to see the block, but I’ve been feeling the ripples all my life. I’m finding calmer waters now. Your reassuring and accepting presence and your intuitive use of energy medicine techniques (EFT) made a profound difference, and you gave me tools that I have used every day.” – Terry (no photo please)
“I had an EFT phone session with you sometime last autumn and I want to express my gratitude. Although we only spoke once, I want to let you know that that one appointment proved to be remarkable. I will remember you forever and I will highly recommend you if I come across someone who I feel would benefit from your services. You were able to hone in directly to what needed to be unfrozen in space and time and assist me in reintegrating that part of myself. You were very direct and I needed that.”
I want to take this opportunity at the end of the year to give you thanks for the possibilities that you opened up for me in 2008. Our session opened the door for the many blessings that I received this past year. I came to you looking for a solution to what I thought was a physical problem,but the cause was years of emotional and spiritual injuryl. Within the course of this year I have changed my perception, and that has changed my life. Many things that I thought were lost to me have been restored this year. Thank you
Dr. Drewry was recommended by my Physician.
“I cannot state strongly enough how much my work with Dr. Drewry helped me. After experiencing a traumatizing event at work and doing all that I could with traditional psychotherapy, She helped me get through the emotional pain quickly using her unique way that connects mind and body.
Her methods are truly amazing, and on top of that, they’re easy to maintain and keep going. I recommend her and the work whole-heartedly.
“Life-changing” and “life-saving” are not overstating this work and its effectiveness. Thank you, Dr. Drewry.
Did you hear that I was named one of People magazine’s Teachers of the Year?”
“On the recommendation of a friend, I came to Damaris bound up by a lifetime of traumas. I was still grieving the loss of my brother 50 years ago. I needed a path to health and a peaceful state of mind. Almost immediately she helped me understand the connections between the past challenges I had faced and my present condition. I began to see and feel things more clearly and experience healing from old wounds. After three sessions I can say Damaris is gifted with a breadth of insight, intelligence, training, and intuition. I highly recommend her.”
“Damaris has an absolutely amazing gift for connecting the dots between present day issues and specific events that created them years ago.”
I’ve been having problems with my voice since childhood, faintness, no projection and fluctuations in strength. Just watched, following along, your video on transforming a group of non-singers into singers and followed along seeking frequencies that felt good to me. My voice, that I have not liked the sound of, sounded so good and so freed up and deep and resounding, broad in range and full of, I don’t know what, maybe connection to my emotions, to the morphic field, I don’t know. It brings tears to my eyes to think of this now. Thank you from my heart. I want to sing with your online choir again and again.
Love,
