EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique)

Rewrite the Scripts Running Your Life

EFT (tapping) uses your body's energy pathways to clear emotional blocks, release stuck feelings, chronic patters and reprogram limiting beliefs, without years of talk therapy and with personalized scripts for your specific problems

When you experience trauma, stress, or emotional pain, energy pathways (meridians, the same ones used in acupuncture) can get blocked or disrupted. EFT is the tool to clear them

This Is For You If...

You Know WHAT You Need To Change

But can't seem to DO it (the pattern keeps repeating)

Such as, "I'm not good enough," "I don't deserve love," "Money is hard"

"achievement only comes through struggle and suffering."

Limiting Beliefs Run Your Life

You're Stuck In Emotional Loops

Or have never been able to complete full cycle of emotion when feel it (chronic anxiety, recurring anger,

shame spirals)

You Can't Access Or Release Certain Emotions

Your grief feels stuck, your rage, suppressed your fear, frozen

You're Dealing With Acute Stress

You've experienced a sudden trigger. and need relief NOW

You're A Thinker/Analyzer

And, you need a bridge between mind and body that works WITH your thinking mind while engaging the nervous system safely

WHAT IS EFT?

If you need to rewrite and untangle the patterns and belief systems that are intertwined with your emotions and your nervous system reactions EFT is the perfect multi-modal tool.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a somatic practice that combines:

Tapping on specific acupressure points (on your face, hands, and torso)
Focused awareness on the emotion or belief you want to clear
Spoken affirmations that acknowledge the problem AND offer a reframe

It works like this:

When your body is experiencing a disruption or block in energy from trauma, stress, or emotional pain, EFT inputs kinetic energy (via tapping) along those meridians while you focus on the emotional charge. This:

Reduces the emotional intensity of memories or triggers
Clears the energetic disruption
Rewires your nervous system's response
Creates space for new beliefs to take root

Think of it like this:

Your limiting beliefs are like software running in the background. EFT helps you find the code, acknowledge it, and rewrite it.

How it works neurologically:

Tapping while focusing on a stressor creates a "pattern interrupt" in your nervous system
The dual attention (emotional awareness + calming physical input) allows reprocessing without overwhelm
Creates new neural pathways (neuroplasticity) - literally rewires your brain's response
Similar mechanism to EMDR (bilateral stimulation), but uses acupressure instead of eye movement

But, EFT can be problematic if it is not tailored not just to your specific problem, but to YOU. Here's the problem with traditional positive affirmations, and even the final EFT reframe phrase: "I fully and completely love and accept myself."

Typically in EFT, this is the phrase said at the end of your script, while tapping

But...

If you've been through trauma, your nervous system isn't stupid. When you say that reframe, your body is braced for impact, your amygdala calls the phrase out as a lie. "NOPE," it says, "I don't believe that!"

Research shows that positive affirmations can actually backfire for people with low self-worth or trauma histories, creating more cognitive dissonance, activating your inner critic, and making you feel worse.

Why?

Because mantras are top-down (mind to body), but trauma is bottom-up (body to mind).

Your thinking brain can say "I love and accept myself" all day long, but if your nervous system is still running the program "I'm worthless," the words bounce off. Or worse, they trigger shame because part of you knows you don't believe it.

I customize your reframing scripts. I

Acknowledge what's true.
So your body relaxes because it knows you're not lying
Introduce gentle, creative, more believable reframes
So your system is more likely to accept the new "software"

I creatively use EFT with reframes tailored to you. I start with YOUR truth, not some impossible to believe positive affirmation / mantra

I don't use generic one-size-fits-all scripts. I won't have your repeat "I am confident and powerful" while your body is screaming, "liar!"

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?

Before the Session:

We'll discuss:

What emotion, belief, or pattern you want to work on
When it started (if you know)
How it shows up in your life now
What you want to feel/believe instead

We won't use cookie-cutter EFT scripts. 'll ask:

What are the exact words your inner critic uses?
What does your body believe right now (even if your mind disagrees)?
What's a reframe you can almost believe (not a giant leap)?

Then I'll craft tapping sequences specifically for you.

During the Session:

We'll identify the specific issue and rate its emotional charge

Then I'll guide you to tap on specific points while saying phrases that meet you where you are, not where you "should" be. We can work on a variety of areas :

Emotional Blocks
Limiting Beliefs
Behavioral Patterns
Acute Stress

We'll work through several rounds, adjusting the language as things shift.

What you might experience:

The emotional charge decreasing
Memories surfacing as the ROOT of the belief reveals itself
Physical sensations like yawning, sighing, tears, warmth, tingling
Sudden clarity or shifts in perspective
Relief, lightness, or a sense of "something released"

By the end, we'll re-test the emotional charge. Most clients go reduce the intensity of their emotional charge.

After the Session:

You'll may feel:

Lighter, like a weight lifted
Clearer (the fog around the issue dissipates)
Calmer (the emotional charge is gone or significantly reduced)
Empowered (you have a TOOL you can use anytime)

I'll teach you the tapping sequence so you can continue on your own between sessions.

I'll also give you:

Customized tapping scripts for your specific issue
Guidance on what to tap on next (we often find layers—once the surface belief clears, a deeper one emerges)

I listen for YOUR language, YOUR beliefs, YOUR nervous system, and craft tapping sequences specifically for you

WHEN TO USE THIS TOOL

A Belief Or

An Emotion

is Known

It's conscious, identifiable, and you want to work on it

Your overwhelming emotion, stress or anxiety is acute, and present NOW

For Immediate

Relief & Emotional Cycle Completion

You're a Thinker/Analyzer

You need a cognitive

AND somatic bridge to help your nervous system regulate and to rewrite the scripts that keep you stuck

Combine With Somatic Work When

Your body is holding tension, AND your mind is holding limiting beliefs

Combine With Ancestral Work When

The limiting belief is inherited, the pattern repeats through generations

Combine With Shamanic Work When:

You've retrieved a soul part, but limiting beliefs are blocking you from embodying it

THE SCIENCE BEHIND EFT

It's not magic. It's neurobiology

EFT has been studied extensively:

Peer-Reviewed Research:

Over 100 studies show EFT reduces anxiety, PTSD symptoms,
depression, and pain EFT Universe Research Database
Harvard Medical School research shows tapping on acupressure
points sends calming signals to the amygdala (the brain's fear center)
A 2016 study found EFT reduces cortisol (stress hormone) by up to 43% in a single session Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine
VA hospitals and military programs use EFT for PTSD treatment with significant success

Clinical endorsements:

Recognized by the American Psychological Association as an
evidence-based practice
Used in trauma treatment protocols worldwide
Integrated into cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) by many practitioners

Studies show EFT reduces physiological stress markers like the stress hormone cortisol

WHY WORK WITH ME

Story is medicine. And when the story is written specifically for you, it actually shifts.

I've worked with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for decades to rewire beliefs, release emotional blocks, and calm nervous systems stuck in overdrive.

But I practice EFT differently than most practitioners.

I don't use generic scripts, I write custom reframes for every client.

As an award-winning published author, I understand something most EFT practitioners don't: the exact words matter. The STORY you tell yourself matters. The LANGUGE that your nervous system will accept, versus reject, matters.

Generic affirmations backfire for trauma survivors. Research shows that when you tell yourself something your body doesn't believe (such as "I am safe," "I am worthy"), your nervous system rejects it, triggering cognitive dissonance and activating your inner critic.

That's why I don't hand you a script. I listen to YOUR story, and then I craft tapping sequences in YOUR language. These reframes acknowledge your truth and use your pacing. They don't demand a leap your nervous system can't make.

But here's where my work goes deeper than most EFT practitioners:

I don't just tap on symptoms, I see what's underneath them.

Sometimes what looks like a "limiting belief" is actually:

A soul part that left and took your voice with it
Somatic freeze held in your throat, your body needs release, not reframing
An ancestral pattern running through your lineage
Absorbed energy from someone else's shame

I'm shamanic, somatic, and trauma-informed, so when I sense one of these deeper layers, I'll tell you.

I won't keep writing reframes when what you actually need is soul retrieval, somatic release, or ancestral clearing.

I see which layer holds the block. And I know which tool addresses it.

You won't waste time tapping on the wrong layer while the real issue stays buried

When the story is intertwined, and needs more than rewriting such as retrieval, release, or return. I see the layers most EFT practitioners miss

FAQs

Q: Do I have to tap on my face in front of you? That feels awkward?

A: I get it! But most people feel silly for about 30 seconds, then forget about it once we start working.

Q: What if I don't know WHAT I want to work on?

A: We'll start with what you're feeling RIGHT NOW and follow it to the root. Often the surface emotion (anxiety, anger) leads to a deeper belief underneath.

Q: Can EFT really work in one session?

A: For acute issues (pre-event anxiety, specific trigger), often yes. For deeper patterns or trauma, you'll likely need multiple sessions. But even one session creates a shift.

Q: What if I start crying or get emotional?

A: That's normal and welcomed. Emotions releasing = the tapping is working. I hold space for whatever comes up.

Q: Can I learn to do this on my own?

A: Absolutely! I'll teach you the sequence so you can tap between sessions. But having a guide helps you find the ROOT issues you might not see on your own..

Q: Is EFT the same as EMDR?

A: They're similar (both work with bilateral stimulation to process trauma), but EFT uses tapping on acupressure points while EMDR uses eye movements. Both are effective
