EFT is an easy-to-use self-help tool that works by combining the body and mind to help transform how we feel. It addresses the emotional and physical impact of our emotions, guiding us to release stress, negative feelings, and emotional blocks. By tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on emotional issues, EFT offers a simple, effective way to regain balance and well-being.
EFT is designed to calm the emotional part of our brain (the limbic system) during times of stress by releasing calming chemicals into the body, counteracting the “Fight or Flight” response. This response is triggered by the brain stem, our survival brain, when we face threats or situations that we perceive as alarming. In today’s fast-paced world, many of us remain in this heightened state, constantly on alert. EFT can teach us how to manage and calm ourselves down in any situation, allowing us to regain control and restore balance in moments of stress.
EFT is highly effective in managing stress and anxiety. Whether it’s related to work, personal life, or external pressures, EFT helps to reduce the emotional intensity of these feelings by tapping on specific meridian points, leading to a calmer, more centered state.
Many people struggle with limiting beliefs or emotional blocks that hold them back from achieving their goals. EFT can help release negative emotions and mental blocks that contribute to feelings of self-doubt or unworthiness, empowering individuals to move forward and take positive action in their lives.
EFT can also address the physical manifestation of emotional distress, such as chronic pain or discomfort. By tapping on energy points while focusing on pain or discomfort, EFT has been shown to reduce both emotional and physical sensations, helping to promote healing and relaxation.
Research has shown that EFT works to form new neural pathways in the brain, re-wiring old thought patterns and beliefs. It is particularly effective for managing anxiety, trauma, fear, grief, and stress, while also promoting relaxation, creativity, motivation, confidence, and inner peace.
EFT also helps us address our emotions by identifying thoughts and feelings from current or past events that may be impacting our daily lives. Once these emotions are highlighted, we can empower ourselves to make positive changes and safely release them.
The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) was developed in the 1990s by engineer Gary Craig, with its roots in Dr. Roger Callahan’s ‘Thought Field Therapy’ from the 1980s. By tapping on specific acupressure points on the head, face, hands, and body, we activate the body’s natural energy field and meridian system to promote healing.
“EFT is a universal healing tool that can provide impressive results for physical, emotional, and performance issues. EFT operates on the premise that no matter what part of your life needs improvement, there are unresolved emotional issues in the way. Even for physical issues, chronic pain, or diagnosed conditions, it is common knowledge that any kind of emotional stress can impede the natural healing potential of the human body.”
– Gary Craig, Founder of EFT

You’re someone who is ready to grow, to release emotional blocks, and to move forward with clarity and confidence. Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re seeking to evolve and make meaningful changes, but knowing where to start or how to shift old patterns can be challenging.
That’s where EFT comes in—and why I’m so passionate about sharing it with you. My personal journey with EFT began as a tool to break free from emotional patterns that were holding me back. What started as a way to manage stress and negative emotions soon became a profound catalyst for my personal growth. The more I explored EFT, the more I realized how deeply it could support transformation in all areas of life.
As someone deeply committed to personal development, I’ve experienced firsthand how EFT can clear emotional blocks, enhance self-awareness, and help create lasting change. I’ve seen it help people overcome limiting beliefs, shift mindsets, and develop a stronger sense of self-worth.
Whether you’re new to EFT or already familiar with it, I’m here to help you use this powerful tool to align with your highest potential. This isn’t just about emotional relief; it’s about unlocking your capacity for growth, stepping into your true power, and designing a life that reflects the best version of yourself.
got questions? here's some answers.
EFT is versatile and can address a wide range of challenges, including:
No prior experience is needed to try EFT. It’s a simple and accessible technique that anyone can learn and practice, regardless of their background or knowledge. I will guide you through the process step by step, making it easy to follow and effective for beginners and experienced individuals alike.
Yes! EFT is a self-help tool you can use independently once you learn the basics. However, working with me can be invaluable for addressing deeper emotional blocks or navigating complex issues. EFT involves various techniques beyond the physical tapping, and I can guide you through tailored sequences and provide personalised support and insights to help you achieve the best results.
In a “Balance and Empower” session, I’ll work with you to identify the core issue you want to address. Together, we’ll create specific phrases to focus on while tapping on acupressure points. Along with tapping, I incorporate a combination of tools, such as Quantum EFT and Internal Enquiry, depending on what feels most relevant and supportive for you in the moment. The process is collaborative and tailored to your needs, often resulting in noticeable emotional relief, clarity, and deeper self-awareness.
Some people experience immediate shifts during or shortly after their first session, especially for surface-level issues. More complex or deeply rooted challenges may require multiple sessions to achieve significant and lasting results. My motivation is to go at the pace that your mind and body allow, ensuring that we work together in a way that feels comfortable and safe for you, while still facilitating meaningful progress toward your goals.
Yes, there has been significant research conducted on the effectiveness of EFT, including studies by Dawson Church and Peta Stapleton, as well as the Tapping Solution. Dawson Church’s research has shown how EFT can be effective in reducing stress and trauma, while Peta Stapleton’s work has focused on its effectiveness for anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health challenges. Their studies, along with numerous others, demonstrate the potential of EFT to improve emotional well-being, with results often showing lasting benefits.
While the research continues to grow, EFT is widely recognized as an evidence-based practice in the field of energy psychology. It is acknowledged for its ability to reduce stress, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms, and it continues to gain credibility within both clinical and alternative health communities.
