Empokoro services and content are intended to support personal awareness, emotional processing, and self-regulation skills. They are educational in nature only and are not medical, psychological, or therapeutic treatment.


The services we provide through the website and other related platforms (e.g. our YouTube and other social media channels) are for your own use only. You may not resell, lease or use them in any other way or commercialize them with anyone else and accordingly, Empokoro grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access the website which is not sub licensable but allows you to view, copy and print the portions of the content available to you on the website for personal, non-commercial use.

2. Educational Nature of Content

All content on this website, including text, videos, audio, downloadable resources, blog posts, and free materials, is provided for educational and informational purposes only.


Empokoro does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or mental health condition. Nothing on this website is intended to replace professional medical, psychological, psychiatric, or therapeutic care.


If you are under the care of a licensed healthcare provider, you are encouraged to continue that care and consult them regarding any complementary practices you choose to explore.

Emotional regulation, EFT/Tapping, mindfulness, visualization, and related practices may bring awareness to unresolved emotions, memories, beliefs, or patterns.

In some cases, concerns may feel more noticeable before improvement occurs. You acknowledge and accept these possibilities as part of the voluntary nature of this work.

4. EFT/Tapping Disclaimer

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as tapping, is a complementary wellness practice intended to support stress management and emotional regulation.


While many individuals report positive experiences, results are not guaranteed and may vary from person to person.
