What is EFT Tapping?

EFT Tapping is a form of energy psychology that integrates cognitive focus with gentle tapping on acupressure points. By combining mindful attention to distressing thoughts or memories with physical stimulation of calming points, EFT Tapping helps desensitize emotional intensity and create new, healthier pathways in the brain.

EFT Tapping provides a supportive and effective way to release what has been held in your system whether you are:

• Working through trauma, anxiety, or grief
