Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

“EFT is destined to be a top healing tool for the 21st Century”

—Cheryl Richardson

Tap Into Emotional Freedom

Imagine the feeling of peace replacing stress, or positive, flowing energy easing physical pain. These are just a few of the powerful benefits that EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) offers. Commonly known as "Tapping," EFT is a simple yet profound tool for self-healing that anyone can learn and use anytime, anywhere.

EFT is practiced by millions of people worldwide and is backed by scientific research showing its effectiveness in reducing stress, anxiety, pain, and emotional trauma.

“EFT offers great healing benefits.”

- Deepak Chopra, MD

What Is EFT Tapping?

EFT Tapping is a research-based modality that uses a gentle tapping technique on specific meridian points of the body—the same energy points used in acupuncture, (without the needles). The combination of tapping on certain meridian points and expressing your true feelings and thoughts, allows EFT to release blocked energy that contributes to emotional and physical distress.

Founded by Gary Craig in the 1990s, EFT is now used worldwide as a highly effective method for reducing stress, alleviating emotional pain, and promoting healing.

During a session, I will guide you through tapping on your own meridian points while addressing specific concerns. This process sends calming signals to your nervous system, reduces the stress response, and allows your body to release negative emotions.

 “In as little as three sessions of tapping, Karen has given me the gift of releasing decades (and I am in my sixth!) of life’s firmly anchored punches. I have tried several different modalities but none have relieved the relentless, cumbersome self-imposed weight of un-forgiveness, and its ensuing burdens, like this. Tapping with Karen has given me this almost childlike freedom to find joy in life again. “Thank you” can’t begin to sufficiently express my gratitude.”

The Benefits of EFT

EFT offers a wide range of benefits for emotional and physical well-being. Here’s what you can expect from a session:

  • Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Experience a calming effect that brings your nervous system into a regulated state.

  • Alleviate Emotional Pain: Release feelings of anger, fear, sadness, or guilt.

  • Ease Physical Discomfort: Address pain, tension, and chronic conditions by tapping into the mind-body connection.

  • Improve Self-Acceptance: Replace limiting beliefs with empowering thoughts that promote emotional resilience.

  • Gain a Lifelong Tool for Self-Healing: EFT can be used anytime, anywhere, to manage stress and emotional overwhelm.

Research has shown that EFT decreases cortisol (the stress hormone) levels by up to 37%, reduces anxiety and PTSD symptoms, and improves overall well-being.

What to Expect

Each EFT session is personalized to address your specific concerns. Here’s what you can expect:

Before Your Session: We begin by identifying the issue you want to work on—whether it's stress, emotional pain, or a specific physical symptom. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance. Just come with an open mind and willingness to explore your emotions.

During Your Session: I will guide you through the tapping process, which involves gently tapping on specific meridian points while we talk through your thoughts and feelings. As we tap, we acknowledge the issue, express emotions, and reframe negative beliefs.

You may feel immediate shifts in your emotions, a sense of relief, or even physical sensations like warmth or tingling as energy blockages are cleared.

After Your Session: Most clients report feeling lighter, calmer, and more emotionally balanced after just one session. EFT is a simple, portable tool that you can use on your own anytime you need it.

Why Work with Me?

My introduction to EFT was deeply personal. After 16 years of chronic sciatic pain and exhausting every medical avenue, I found complete relief through EFT Tapping. This transformative experience led me to become an Accredited EFT Practitioner and Master Trainer and to share this powerful tool with others.

Since then, I’ve worked with individuals from around the globe, helping them release emotional pain, reduce stress, and improve their overall well-being. I’m passionate about teaching clients how to use EFT as a lifelong tool for self-healing.

 “I have tried numerous traditional therapies over the years but EFT is completely different. I left my appointments feeling lighter and more confident. Karen's warm and professional approach had me feeling energized after each session. We tapped (literally) into feelings and emotional responses I didn't even realize were affecting me so much. I cannot thank Karen enough. Tapping really works!”
