What is EFT?

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), often called Tapping, is a simple yet powerful tool that helps release stress, overwhelm, and emotional tension from the body and mind. It combines gentle tapping on specific acupressure points with words and phrases that acknowledge what you’re feeling—helping you process and let go of emotions that may have been stored in your nervous system for years.

​

We all experience moments of stress, self-doubt, and emotional overload. But when these feelings become persistent—when your body stays in a constant state of tension, your mind races at night, and you feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm—it’s a sign that your nervous system is holding onto more than it can handle.

​

That’s where EFT comes in.

​

Studies have shown that EFT can significantly reduce cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, and help calm the amygdala—the part of the brain responsible for processing fear and stress responses (Feinstein, 2012). By soothing this overactive “alarm system,” tapping helps bring your body back to a state of balance, making it easier to think clearly, feel grounded, and respond to life’s challenges with more ease.

​

How Does It Work?

​

When we experience something stressful, painful, or overwhelming—whether it’s a demanding job, a difficult relationship, or a past experience we haven’t fully processed—our nervous system reacts, storing the emotional charge of that event. Over time, these stored emotions can keep us in a cycle of stress and self-protection, making it harder to relax, think clearly, or move forward.

Through EFT, we tap on specific meridian points on the face and body while acknowledging what we feel.

​

This simple yet effective process helps to:

​

• Reduce stress and emotional overwhelm by calming the body's fight-or-flight response.

• Lower cortisol levels and deactivate the brain’s stress response (Bach et al., 2019), creating space for calm and clarity.

• Release old patterns of self-doubt, worry, and fear that may be keeping you stuck.

• Create a more resilient, flexible nervous system that helps you navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

• Help you feel more present, in control, and clear-minded in your daily life.

EFT in Action

​

To give you an idea of how EFT works, imagine someone who constantly feels anxious but can’t quite pinpoint why. As we begin tapping, memories, beliefs, and emotions often surface—revealing past experiences that may be contributing to that sense of unease. By tapping through these layers, we allow the body and mind to finally release the emotional charge, creating space for calm and clarity.

​

EFT can be used for a wide range of challenges, from stress, burnout, and overwhelm to self-doubt, phobias, and past traumas. Every session is completely tailored to your needs, meeting you exactly where you are.

​

If you’re feeling like life is running you instead of the other way around, EFT can be a powerful way to take back control—helping you move from stress and exhaustion to clarity and calm.

Please note: EFT is not a replacement for medical treatment, but rather a supportive tool to help regulate your nervous system and emotional well-being.
