EFT

"EFT has been a game changer in my life. I had been using it intermittently in my practice for 3 years. My knowledge and ability to incorporate this into a group/team setting was greatly enhanced after witnessing Catherine’s expertise.

On a personal level, she helped me overcome the frustration of working with a difficult partner in my medical practice. The Tapping dramatically eased the tension I brought into our professional relationship. Meetings were more productive. I become a more effective leader as I was able to focus on our strengths, accepting, our differences. (That was after one session with Catherine) "

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES (EFT)

Where Science Meets the Somatic Soul of Your Performance

What if the stress you carry isn’t yours to carry anymore?

Whether you’re navigating high-stakes leadership, parenting under pressure, or the silent weight of past trauma, your nervous system is holding the score. Emotional Freedom Techniques—also known as EFT or "tapping"—is a science-backed, body-led method that helps you release emotional clutter, rewire old patterns, and return to clarity… in minutes.

This isn’t about bypassing.
It’s about finally giving your system the message: you’re safe to exhale.

What is EFT?

EFT is a gentle yet powerful technique that combines talk therapy principles with acupressure point stimulation, allowing you to interrupt old emotional patterns and rewire your stress response.

You simply tap on specific points on the body while tuning into the emotion or memory—guiding your nervous system to release stored survival patterns and return to regulation.

In short?

You’re not just calming down.
You’re clearing out the static that’s keeping your capacity stuck.

Why I use tapping in my work?

After becoming certified through EFT Universe over a decade ago, tapping became one of the most effective tools in my coaching. I’ve used it with Olympians, pro athletes, entrepreneurs, mothers, and C-suite leaders navigating everything from:

performance anxiety
chronic overthinking
food addictions and emotional eating
family dynamics and relational trigger
injury recovery
burnout and capacity overwhelm

But what matters most?

They didn’t just feel better. They felt freer.
More present. More grounded. More like themselves.

How it works in a session?

When we work together, tapping is woven in—not forced in. As emotional themes naturally emerge in conversation, I guide you through a tapping process that allows us to:

Identify the core charge or emotional blockage
Rate its intensity
Tap using a simple phrase to meet the emotion with compassion
Watch as your system physically shifts into a more regulated state

Sessions often end with clients saying,
“I didn’t even realize how much I was holding until it lifted.”

And because it’s somatic and structured, tapping helps you anchor these changes—not just understand them.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SHIFT

EFT has been studied in over 30+ peer-reviewed studies and shown to:

Deactivate the amygdala (your fear center)
Lower cortisol and stress hormone levels
Support the regulation of your nervous system’s fight-or-flight response
Improve serotonin levels, emotional regulation, and even gene expression linked to stress resilience

Translation: it’s not woo.
It’s what works when mindset work stops working.

Ready to experience it for yourself?

This is not a fix. It’s a reset.
A return.

A re-patterning that honors how far you’ve come

—and clears the space for where you’re meant to go next.
