Emotional Freedom TechniqueEFT
Hello, welcome to Wild Earth Calm Heart, 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
One to One Sessions
Over a series of sessions we can work together on any issue you are currently facing to remove anxiety and stress, ease physical pain and remove any blocks or beliefs that have been holding you back.Sessions are primarily online, this works very well as you have the opportunity to relax and reflect in your own space afterwards without having to travel anywhere.Pricing: One off session (1hr) £50.

Group Tapping
I am offering free online Group tapping sessions so you can experience the benefits of EFT for yourself for free. In a group session we pick a particular theme to work on and whilst we are all tapping together, you tune into the part that resonates for you. It’s incredible to see how much benefit you can get even in a group setting.
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
