The biggest shift most people notice is in their day-to-day mindset. Change often starts with small, gentle shifts. Say your goal is to stop people-pleasing. A few sessions in, you’re at a family event and realize the usual wave of emotion isn’t as loud. You can think clearly enough to set a boundary. Or maybe you’ve spent years comparing yourself to everyone in the room, and one day you walk into a café and notice you didn’t scan the crowd at all. That’s how people can see changes in their lives. The negative thoughts get less intense. The hypervigilance eases. You feel lighter.

This work is not a replacement for therapy, and it isn’t appropriate during an acute mental health crisis. It’s foundational work that assumes a baseline of stability and existing support (people, resources, professionals you can lean on). If you’re currently experiencing thoughts of hurting yourself or others, please reach out to mental healthcare in your local community or contact emergency services. EFT is not designed for crisis care.

Yes, they can, with the same caveat that applies to anything worthwhile: consistency matters. If you show up skeptical and closed off, your nervous system stays in protective mode, and change slows. If you come in open and keep practicing between sessions, you can achieve lasting shifts in your daily emotional state.

Tapping uses light finger pressure on specific points on your face and upper body, the same points used in acupressure. While you tap, we focus together on what you’re feeling. Together, this combination helps lower emotional intensity in the moment, supports nervous system regulation, and, over time, conditions your body to respond differently when similar emotions come up again. Think of the tapping as the tool, and the emotion or stuck pattern we’re exploring as the map. We follow the map together and release what’s ready to be released.

A session usually lasts about 60 minutes, but I leave time afterward to make sure you are well supported. Currently, I offer only online sessions for clients worldwide. I can accommodate a range of time zones. All you need is a safe, comfortable space where you can speak freely, some water or tea, and a notebook if you’d like. I will be your guide through it all, including any tapping. You can share as little or as much about your personal details as you feel comfortable.

One thing I love about EFT and the techniques I’ve trained in is that they are gentle and we go at your pace. Tapping naturally regulates your nervous system, so people often say they feel much calmer and more grounded after a session. Emotions and feelings will naturally emerge, as they are a natural part of the process. Through these techniques, however, we don’t sit and try to understand the emotion; we allow it to release and move forward.

Typically, 3-6 sessions provide support for the goals you are working toward. Often, people extend with more sessions to continue to work on long-term beliefs. My packages offer this range, plus the option to book as needed based on your individual needs. I offer a single session with an extended time period so we can close our time together if you choose not to proceed with a package.

EFT is not designed as a replacement for therapy. My clients often use both modalities at the same time, and I am happy to communicate with your therapist if that would help. Therapy typically explores your story to build understanding, while tapping works with your nervous system to release emotions from that story so you can move forward.
