EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called tapping, is a self-regulation method that helps release emotional stress by combining gentle fingertip tapping on acupressure points with guided verbal focus. It works with both the mind and the body, and has been shown to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and support emotional healing—even from long-standing issues.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EFT works directly with your nervous system. While we do talk during sessions, we also use tapping to shift how your body feels about what’s happening. This somatic (body-based) approach can help you experience faster and often deeper results—especially with emotions that feel stuck or overwhelming.

Working with me means we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and tap into what your body and emotions are trying to tell you. It’s a collaborative, intuitive process—one that goes beyond just problem-solving.

EFT has been studied for a wide range of emotional, physical, and psychological concerns. These include:

• Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
• Trouble sleeping or feeling emotionally “on edge”
• Feeling stuck or triggered while living abroad
• Past trauma or unresolved emotional experiences
• Food cravings and body image struggles
• Emotional burnout, fatigue, and self-doubt
• Homesickness, cultural stress, or identity confusion

If you’re living abroad and often feel emotionally “off,” EFT can help you come back to center.

Yes—EFT is backed by over 100 published clinical studies. Research shows:

• A 43% reduction in cortisol (the stress hormone) after one hour of EFT
• 90% of participants in one study no longer met criteria for PTSD after six sessions

It’s not just “woo”—EFT is recognized as evidence-based and is increasingly used in clinical and trauma recovery settings around the world.

Yes, and many people use it as a self-help tool. But working with a practitioner allows you to go deeper, stay on track, and uncover emotional patterns or beliefs you may not notice alone. You don’t have to guide yourself through difficult emotions without support.

As a practitioner, I’ll help you feel safe and seen while gently guiding you toward insight and resolution. Think of me as your emotional co-pilot—especially useful when the road gets bumpy.

Sessions are collaborative, paced gently, and always centered on your comfort level. We approach your pain points with care, safety, and tools to help regulate your nervous system as we go.

A typical session is one hour long and includes:

• Checking in on what you’re feeling or experiencing
• Exploring thoughts, patterns, or past experiences linked to those feelings
• Guided EFT tapping with tailored phrases and questions
• Space for reflection, insight, and integration

It’s a process of gently untangling what’s keeping you stuck—without reliving pain in a retraumatizing way.

That depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some people feel major relief in just a few sessions, while others choose to work together over a longer period to explore deeper emotional themes.

We’ll always check in and make sure the pace and focus feel aligned for you.

That’s completely okay. Many of my clients come in feeling curious but skeptical. What matters most is that you’re open to trying something new. EFT is gentle, adaptable, and doesn’t require you to “believe in it” for it to work—just a willingness to explore.

You’re always in control of the process. And I’m here to walk alongside you with care, not pressure.
