I first came across EFT Tapping around 10 years ago, during pre-natal classes and whilst learning hypnobirthing. It complemented hypnosis to help mums to be stay calm, reduce stress and manage contractions whilst in labour.
Whilst on maternity leave, I undertook yoga teacher training, with a view to giving up the 9-5, work in a more holistic and family friendly profession. But I never got there with the business startup, and it was all too easy to return to the regular, secure job. Juggling childcare with caring for ageing parents, whilst working full time, meant I hit the proverbial glass ceiling. I started to feel stuck in a career I had once loved. Then came Covid, Lockdown and eventually moving back with my elderly mother who had been diagnosed with severe Alzheimer’s dementia. I experienced burnout and was eventually diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid illness. I needed to make a change but had no idea where to start or what else I would do.
I discovered the Dream Awake Tapping Certification whilst listening to a podcast with its founder, Jennifer Partridge. I didn’t hesitate to sign up, feeling the timing was right and finding Jennifer’s style radical and inspiring, both as a tapping facilitator, mentor and coach. I joined a diverse and supportive cohort of 20 students across all continents. It triggered my own winding journey of growth, change, and healing. I had always loved learning but didn’t know that EFT tapping would create such powerful shifts and reframe my own thinking. I was able to let go of my own stuck thought patterns and negative self-talk. The shifts created by Tapping developed my own self-belief, confidence and self-worth. Initially I didn’t expect to be starting a business of my own, I was studying because of my interest in holistic therapies. Yet intuitively I have been able to let go of the learned beliefs, such as “stick with the conventional career and pay cheque at the end of the month”, “I’m too old to take a risk and pursue something different” and “I should stick with what I know and what I’m experienced in doing”.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to through reach out for help. That’s why I approach our work together with care, curiosity, and a genuine belief in your ability to thrive. I’m not here to tell you who to be—I am here to help you create your own shifts and discover what’s possible for you.
When I am not working, you can find me on the yoga mat (or paddleboard in the summer!) reading something soul-stirring, playing the piano, being beaten at tennis by my son and learning languages. I believe that joy, connection, and rest are essential ingredients in the healing process, and I try to practise what I preach.
