Hello, welcome to Wild Earth Calm Heart, I am Caroline and I am grateful for you being here today.Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping is a gentle yet powerful tool that helps you release emotional blocks, calming your mind and bringing balance to your body.EFT can be used on a huge range of issues from stress, overwhelm, anxiety, phobias, cravings, pain, and stress-related medical conditions. It can help to improve confidence and self-worth, sleep and relaxation, emotional resilience and personal growth.
How does EFT work?
When you are stressed or anxious your brain activates it’s alarm system, (the amygdala) triggering a fight-or-flight response, raising cortisol (the stress hormone) and putting your body on high alert. By tapping on specific acupressure points on your face and upper body, while focusing on the troubling issue, signals are sent to your brain which helps your body realise that it is safe. The next time the trigger is experienced the brain associates it with safety rather than stress so the results are long lasting.Scientific research shows that just one hour of tapping will on average reduce cortisol by 43%. That is huge and even just a few minutes of tapping can have a benefit.To find out more about EFT and the evidence from scientific research

It’s incredible to see how much benefit you can get even in a group setting.Upcoming dates:Tuesday 20th October, 1pm

EFT for Schools
EFT is scientifically proven to regulate the nervous system and can be used to almost instantly reduce stress and anxiety bringing calm and peace. Even children can easily learn the tapping points to be able to self-regulate. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our classrooms were calm, peaceful, focused places? With just a couple of minutes of tapping every day this could be a reality.I am passionate about helping children, and therefore our wider society be a happier, calmer place so I am currently offering visits to primary and secondary schools to train teachers and classes for free.

EFT and Research
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or “Tapping” is a body/mind self-help method that is easy to learn and flexible enough to be used by anyone. It involves tapping with fingertips on acupressure points on the hands, face and body while giving focused attention to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.When we are willing to face negative emotions like guilt, hurt, fear or anger while tapping (instead of trying to fight them or push them away), we can experience surprising relief. After just a few rounds of EFT tapping, for example, people often report feeling lighter, calmer and able to breathe more easily.In addition to providing relief from stress when we need it, EFT tapping can be also used therapeutically to help us address the roots of our problems and make lasting changes.Findings from 300+ research studies, fMRI scans, gene expression research, and real-world data from millions of users worldwide show us that Tapping:1. Calms the Amygdala (Your Brain's Alarm Centre)
Tapping reduces activity in the amygdala, the region responsible for triggering fight-or-flight responses. When the amygdala quietens down, the brain shifts out of survival mode and the body follows.2. Rapidly Reduces Cortisol (The Stress Hormone)
A 2020 study demonstrated a 43% cortisol reduction following a single 1 hour tapping session. Lower cortisol is linked to improved mood, emotional regulation, immune function, and metabolic balance.3. Downregulates the Stress Response System
By reducing sympathetic arousal, Tapping supports the body's shift into parasympathetic mode. This state is associated with recovery, improved digestion, hormonal balance, and enhanced cognitive function.4. Interrupts Old Patterns and Rewires the Brain
Tapping acts as a pattern interrupt that calms your nervous system. When you interrupt old, automatic stress reactions and signal safety to your brain, it's easier to shift unhelpful patterns and strengthen new, healthier habits.5. Demonstrates Consistent Clinical Effectiveness
Across anxiety disorders, PTSD, phobias, depression, cravings, pain, and stress-related medical conditions, Tapping has been shown to produce measurable, significant results.EFT Tapping is now used by:Hospitals and integrative medical centres including increasingly in NHS

About me
Several years ago I experienced a traumatic event. It caused me to lose my successful career in earth science, led to my divorce and to finding myself moved far away from all my friends and my family.I was grieving all the loss but also felt the associated frustration, anger and jealousy and I suffered depression and anxiety. I saw a therapist who at the end of each session did just a few minutes of tapping which seemed very strange at first but somehow I knew there was something good in it.I built a new life, found new friends and a new partner and muddled my way through on my own with my two children but once they reached their teenage years more challenges came along.I was fine, I was doing okay but I wasn’t thriving and I wasn’t fulfilled and I felt anxiety again.I remembered the tapping I had done some years before and knew I had to come back to that. Its effects were fast and I immediately felt past events that I’d been hanging on to for so long, start to lift away. I discovered, and was able to clear the belief patterns created in my childhood that had been holding me back all my life. I was already feeling calmer, lighter and more peaceful. The shakiness in my heart which had become a constant was cleared and I was able to transform my life completely. During this time I trained as a practitioner so I could deepen my EFT practice and help other people experience the amazing benefits that I continue to experience to this day.Along the way I had sought solace in art, being a creative maker since childhood. My other solace has always been spending time in wild places, hiking on rugged mountains and on wild stormy coasts and it is mostly these which inspire my art.Hence the name, Wild Earth Calm Heart came to be. A fusion of my earth science background, my work with ceramics and my love of wild places combined with the hugely calming effects of EFT tapping that have brought peace and calm to my heart.I would love to be able to help you on your journey from stress and anxiety or whatever it is you are holding onto to find peace and calm in your own heart.
What my clients say
.*****
As a builder I was sceptical...
... of any therapy and had never considered my emotional health. Caroline was professional and reassuring and being aware of my reservations was quick to explain the process and put me at ease.
I had extreme tightness in my vocal chords caused by tension and conventional medicine was offering no relief. In just a few sessions with Caroline I was feeling
genuinely relaxed about childhood memories that had previously caused me regret and sadness.
Caroline’s help and EFT has had a very positive impact on my life. I am also now armed with a tool to carry forwards into future difficult situations.Neil, Gloucestershire, UK

I needed to find the right person to work with and for me that person was Caroline
In our sessions Caroline embodied the perfect balance of professionalism, compassion and honesty. I felt safe to bare my scars with her and in turn I was able to work through several limiting beliefs that I had been holding onto since as early as I can remember. In our sessions I really appreciated how Caroline just intuitively knew when to give me that extra nudge that I needed to face my deeper issues. She knew when I was ready and was there to help me reframe those experiences so that I could grow from them. My sessions with Caroline lifted a huge weight off of my chest, things that I did not know I had been carrying around for years until they where gone, and my relationships have benefited immensely because of it. I cannot recommend her enough!Alivia, Edmonton, Canada

I felt safe and held
I really appreciated the calm, gentle and thoughtful space you created. There was something very soothing and grounded about the way you worked, and I especially loved the spiritual quality you brought into the session. It felt nurturing rather than clinical, which I found really lovely.I also noticed how skilfully you kept bringing me back to myself — back into my body, my breath, and my own inner experience. That felt like a real strength of your style. Rather than getting lost in the story, you encouraged reconnection, which I found very helpful and calming.You have a naturally peaceful presence, and I think many clients would feel very safe with youLucinda, Cornwall, UK
