Release stuck emotions, reduce stress, and reconnect with calm and clarity.
What is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)?
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as tapping, is a simple yet powerful method for releasing emotional stress, limiting beliefs, and trauma. EFT combines elements of cognitive therapy with acupressure by tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on emotional or physical discomfort.
Developed by Gary Craig, EFT is based on the idea that negative emotions and trauma are linked to disruptions in the body’s energy system. By tapping on these points while acknowledging the emotional or physical issue, you can calm the nervous system, rewire emotional patterns, and restore balance to your body and mind.
Tapping is a highly versatile tool — it can be used for processing difficult emotions, calming anxiety, shifting self-limiting beliefs, and even reducing physical pain. Best of all, once you learn it, you can use it as a self-help tool whenever you need it.
How Does EFT Work?
In EFT sessions, we’ll identify the issue you want to address and gently guide you through a tapping sequence while tuning into thoughts, feelings, or body sensations. As you tap on specific meridian points, you may notice the emotional intensity start to shift—often dramatically.
We go at your pace, staying grounded in safety, consent, and curiosity. You’ll learn tapping techniques you can use on your own in daily life to reduce stress and support your emotional well-being.
Who Can Benefit from EFT?
EFT is highly effective for a wide range of emotional and physical challenges, including:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Stress and overwhelm
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
- Phobias and fears
- Self-criticism and low self-worth
- Relationship issues
- Performance anxiety (public speaking, creative work)
- Chronic pain and physical tension
- Shifting limiting beliefs to supportive beliefs
EFT is particularly helpful for highly sensitive people and empaths because it allows for gentle emotional release without needing to revisit traumatic memories in detail. The combination of physical tapping and emotional focus helps calm the nervous system and create a sense of safety.
It’s a powerful, non-invasive tool for anyone ready to move through emotional blocks and into a place of more peace and possibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is EFT different from traditional talk therapy?
EFT combines cognitive awareness with physical tapping on meridian points. This mind-body connection helps calm the nervous system while processing emotional issues.
What if I don’t know why I’m feeling upset?
That’s okay! EFT works even if you’re not consciously aware of the root cause. We’ll focus on the physical and emotional sensations, and the deeper patterns often reveal themselves naturally.
How long does it take to see results with EFT?
Some clients feel immediate relief during or after a session. For deeper, long-standing issues, consistent practice over time leads to lasting change.
FAQs Do I need to believe in it for it to work?
Not at all. EFT is supported by a growing body of research and works through physiological pathways in the body. Many people are surprised by how effective it is—even if they’re skeptical at first.
Can EFT be used for trauma?
Yes—but it must be done gently and safely. I use trauma-informed EFT, always with your nervous system and consent at the center.
Is it something I can learn to do myself?
Absolutely. One of the beautiful things about EFT is that you can learn it in session and use it as a self-regulation tool between sessions.
