Question 1

What is EFT tapping?

Accepted Answer

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a gentle, evidence-based method that combines talk therapy with tapping on specific acupuncture points. This helps calm the nervous system, release emotional stress, and rewire unhelpful patterns held in the body.

Many clients use EFT for:
 • Stress + anxiety
 • Overwhelm
 • Cravings + emotional eating
 • Fear + phobias
 • Past emotional blocks
 • Burnout + fatigue
 • Chronic health challenges linked to stress
 • Positive affirmations
 • Manifesting motivation
 • Future planning and follow through

Research has also shown that EFT can reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and support overall mind-body healing.

Question 2

How can EFT benefit my mental & physical wellbeing?

Accepted Answer

EFT works on both the conscious and subconscious mind, helping to regulate the nervous system and release stress patterns stored in the body. By tapping on specific acupuncture points, you naturally lower cortisol, calm your fight-or-flight response, and create space for clarity, emotional regulation, and healthier habits.

Many clients notice:
 • Less stress + anxiety
 • Better emotional resilience
 • Reduced cravings + more regulated eating patterns
 • Clearer thinking + increased motivation
 • Fewer physical symptoms tied to stress
 • More grounded energy + emotional balance

Because EFT reduces nervous-system overwhelm, the body can finally redirect energy toward digestion, hormone regulation, immune repair, and inflammation reduction.

EFT is also deeply supportive for those navigating physical health issues such as chronic inflammation, pain, autoimmune symptoms, and nervous-system dysregulation. By calming the body’s stress response, tapping allows the natural healing process to activate — promoting lower inflammation, improved immune function, and a greater sense of physical well-being.
