Glastonbury was magic ✨💛 Thank you to my beautiful friend Zoe @solace_and_healing for joining me and holding my hand through the healing pool… then giving me the support to do it again two more times despite the agonising cold 😂 Til next time 🙏🏼

🚨BIG NEWS🚨 the guy that is selling cereal is telling us to eat cereal for dinner. I MEAN… I seem to have stepped out of my Time Machine and into 2004 The irony of seeing this post on Eating Disorders Awareness week is not lost on me, what’s worse is that instead of focussing on making less processed food more affordable for people who are struggling with the cost of living they’re just finding ways to further deepen societies problematic relationship with food and weight. If you use “quick fixes” to solve an issue you’re likely to end up paying out more in time, money and energy in the long run. We see it time and time again. I usually try to find more nuance in posts like this but I simple can’t, it’s just a really bad idea and a stupid thing to say 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s pretty frustrating at times seeing “social media tapping” going viral, especially when it means that people try it and then declare EFT to be useless when it doesn’t work. 😈BUT playing devils advocate, I believe there IS a place for positive tapping. The benefits are that it spreads the word of tapping in general, it’s pretty harmless and the tapping itself can help to regulate. ❕BUT it’s really important to distinguish that this positive form of tapping IS NOT Clinical EFT. Clinical EFT has over 20years of research behind it proving its effectiveness, including randomised control trials and systematic reviews. 💛Always seek an accredited, certified practitioner who belongs to a reputable association when working on an issue over someone with a big following and even bigger promises What do you think? Should clinical EFT go viral? Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques

Just a few thoughts on recovery. This is partly inspired by a chapter from my book Stardust. Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #recovery #recoveryjourney

Since my video about hyperchondria went viral on the other social media app I’ve been receiving so many comments and messages like this. And I think it may sound really simple but I believe it’s still an important point to make. The HOURS I spent googling my symptoms and convincing myself that I was really ill. All to end up feeling way worse and more hopeless than before I started. So here’s an alternative to try out before you reach for google. #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner #healthanxiety #healthanxietyrelief Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography

This is one of the biggest questions I get asked. I think a lot of the time it’s down to preference when it comes to your personal tapping practice. It’s always helpful to speak out loud if you’re working with a practitioner so definitely encouraged in session but if you’re thinking about tapping by yourself it really depends. So are you a talker or a silent tapper? What do you prefer? #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner #tapping 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography

Now this is a story all about how, my motion sickness made me feel like hell, and I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I ‘came ok to be driven anywhere. (Artistic license with the syllables…I hope you sung it) Seriously though, if you’ve followed me for a while you probably saw these stories but I think it’s really important to put it out there because often we get stuck just accepting that we’re ‘always going to have this’, no matter what it may be. So this is a mini personal story and your permission slip to say yes to wanting more than what your current limits tell you you can have ✨ #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #motionsickness #carsick #panicattack #eftpractitioner

Have you tapped today? How about this week? Here’s a little reminder to take 5 minutes to relax and re-regulate ✨ (And if you need to know how there’s tonnes of videos on the grid) Big thanks to my friend @mattjohnsons for this little soundbite 😂😂 (believe me I could have made a much worse video) Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner #efttapping

Let’s stop using the word SOMATIC to further push the incorrect narrative of how society thinks our bodies SHOULD look like. Ok so you may find that this is probably a more provocative post than most of my others but as an EFT practitioner who specialises in working with disordered eating and eating disorders I think this is important to address. Plus I’m pretty sick to the back teeth of seeing these awful weightloss-somatic-workout programs 🙃 If the wellness world is starting to sell weight loss as a result of trauma work, I think it needs a tap on the head. Can the two sometimes interlink? Absolutely. Should we pushing that narrative and promising or encouraging weight loss as a result? No. Why? Because weight loss shouldn’t incentivise trauma work. Trauma work is complex and can be done very badly in the wrong hands. The thin ideal shouldn’t be the dangly carrot at the end of it all. We further push the idea that all bodies should look a certain way. It gives people who don’t know better another little jibe to add to their belt when insulting someone else’s body, we’ve had the “worried for your health” thing for a while (despite lots of contradictory information) we don’t need the “you really should heal from your trauma” too. More and more practitioners are becoming trauma aware and that’s brilliant and so necessary but how about become eating disorder aware? This is an area of EFT and the wider wellness world which I think is lost a lot of the time. This is an area that I intend to change. I’d love to know if you’ve seen these programs and what you think? #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #traumaawareness #eatingdisorderawareness #wellness #somaticwork

Ever done therapy and just felt worse? Sometimes, no amount of talking about it helps. Logically we get it but it’s like there’s something that keeps us stuck. Does that mean it’s bad for us for talk it through? Absolutely not. But if we don’t process the emotions attached to the memories we’re just rehashing the pain of it all. Using EFT we combine the somatic & cognitive together to find emotional freedom even if we don’t want to talk about it in detail. In this video I briefly explain one of the distancing techniques in EFT. Ever heard of the Movie Technique before?

SOBER SERIES: EFT TAPPING FOR MISSING THE TASTE OF ALCOHOL DURING DRY JAN fMRI brain scan studies have shown that EFT has the ability to change the brain’s neural pathways involved in addiction and food cravings. The key is to state your truth; what you miss/crave, your feelings, thoughts and any body sensations etc whilst stimulating the tapping points. If you’re doing dry January then tapping could make this challenge a whole lot easier. Theres many ways to approach cravings tapping and this is just an example to inspire and get you started. Everyone is unique so it’s always best to honour your truth when following any video online. Are you doing Dry January this year? Technically this will be my 4th as in April I’ll be celebrating 5 years alcohol free 🙌🏼 Please note: This video is only meant as a guide and doesn’t replace a practitioner led session. If you struggle with addiction and feel you may be triggered it may be best not to follow along. 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #dryjanuary #dryjan #sobercurious #alcoholfree #eft #efttapping

Are you trying dry January but finding the CRAVINGS just to have that one drink are getting a bit much? This is for you. Studies show EFT reduces cravings by up to 74% - this is a lasting thing too not just for a few minutes! - so why not give it a go? I’ll be 5 years sober in April which seems a mad length of time, but how wonderful it has been! You might want to save this one for later too when the pink cloud stage is over and January is feeling a bit long and miserable 🙌🏼✨ Why not share this too in case someone you know is going sober this month and you want them to do it with much more ease!

You’ve set your 2024 goals, now what? Utilising EFT Tapping can help you to overcome the cycle of choosing to make a change, or planning a goal only to self sabotage a short time later. It’s a simple but extremely powerful process. Write a list of; All the reasons why you might not be able to reach your goal All the negatives or downsides there might be to achieving your goal All the times you’ve tried something like it before and it hadn’t worked out Anything negative that people could say to or about you if you did achieve it Then Get tapping!! It’s a brilliant exercise to do and you might just be amazed at the results! What’s on your 2024 goal list? #eft #efttapping #eftpractitioner #goalsetting #2024 #emotionalfreedomtechniques

Happiness is as big as what you believe you are worth. If you don’t believe that you are worthy of happiness, then you will never feel it. And belief is a funny thing. On the surface we may think that we do believe we are worthy of happiness but it’s what lies beneath which is the making of us. That’s where our limitations lie. It’s in all the times where we didn’t feel enough. It’s in the looks in other peoples faces. It’s in the memories we’d rather forget. It’s in the things we avoid because we don’t want to feel that way again. When we start to dive into our belief system and uncover old pain, shame and feelings thought to be forgotten we begin to understand ourselves more. We realise that parts of us are protecting from more happiness, more success, more peace because they believe that safety doesn’t lie there. Safety lies in the known discomfort of life. In the drink, the food, the drugs, the avoidance, the victimhood, the self-sabotage & procrastination. Don’t do things differently. Fit in. “Better the devil you know” Because we’ve been told it’s easier that way. How embarrassing to put yourself out there and to fail. How awful that she thought she was really something special and what a fall she had! Serves them right for trying. All of this is lies. Uncovering and allowing all parts of ourselves to be seen is where we can release and truly move on. Acknowledging the stories we (&others) tell, processing the what’s and the why’s using a tool like EFT gives us the ability to CHOOSE. Does this serve me anymore? Does this free or limit me? How would I like to feel? Does this increase my capacity for happiness? Shed the weight of the ‘shoulds’ and limiting beliefs and make space for more of you. Be a dreamer, be a seeker, a joker, lover, leader. Be whatever the hell you want to be if it makes you happy. If you’re looking to come home to yourself more and want to be supported I have a few openings for 2024, so if you want to get in touch we can have a chat and see if it’s the right fit for you. 🎥 @nadinesabrina_photography

If you’ve found the last few days a bit difficult then this is the place to start. Think of this as your first round and you can keep tapping on the feelings that come up of just repeat it until you feel better. The video specifies Christmas but it can apply to the New Year or any other significant holiday where we feel the pressure to be happy and bright.

This year has been a really special one and these are just some of the highlights! I’ve been so honoured to present EFT Tapping workshops for corporations, charities, universities, schools, nursery’s, festivals and events.

Ok so I may ruffle a few feathers here but I back myself! Too many times I see cravings work done in a potentially damaging way. Practitioners need to be more informed about the complexities of this kind of work, the use of language and seeing it as part of a whole. If healing our relationship with food was as easy as “only eating “good” healthy food” don’t you think everyone would have done it by now? It’s not just about reducing cravings, it’s about the bigger picture. What do you think? Have you had any experiences with cravings work?

Combining EFT with other techniques can be really incredible. In this video I combine the idea of Conscious Autosuggestion coined by Émile Coué with and edit of his phrase “Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better”. Here’s a few notes: ❌This is not traditional EFT, in EFT we focus on the issue and try to be specific ✔️ Autosuggestion can lead to increased self-esteem and confidence 💭It also helps to imagine that things are already on the way to being better which takes away some of the struggle ✨Combining the two is a gentle but effective way to start drawing in more positive thoughts and feelings when you’re feeling a bit meh 🫀Plus because we’re stimulating acupressure points on the body we’ll be tapping in and regulating our nervous systems which has huge benefits to our daily lives. Let me know how you’re feeling below 👇🏼 ✨ Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography from my session at @balance_festival with @justbreathe #eft #efttapping #tapping #hypnotherapy #autosuggestion #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner

Save this for the next time you’re feeling a bit off. Bringing back simplicity is sometimes the best way to get unstuck or allow ourselves to feel safely in order to move through. EFT doesn’t get RID of emotions. It helps to acknowledge them, and it doing so the natural process occurs. It means we don’t become the feeling or get stuck in it for any longer than necessary. It’s astounding how quickly we can move from one emotional state to another sometimes, but they key when tapping is always to: 1.Acknowledge the TRUTH of how you feel 2. Notice any cognitive or physical shifts 3. Acknowledge those + step 1 4. Keep tapping until you feel better. Sending love to everyone out there ✨ thanks for being here!

When we’re reacting in the present, we’re reacting to the past. Our view of the world has been created through our beliefs, experiences (both personal and inherited), emotions and mind. So when we’re triggered or reacting to situations in the present, our responses are often shaped by our past experiences. Our brains constantly reference previous encounters and the associated emotions, learnings, and outcomes to make sense of and respond to current events. These past experiences serve as a kind of blueprint or guide, influencing our behaviors, decisions and emotions in the present. They contribute to our understanding, expectations, and interpretations of what’s happening, essentially shaping how we navigate and react to the world around us. So when we find ourselves living in a highly reactive or stressed state it’s a useful exercise to identify what blueprint you’re working off. If you’ve no idea this exercise serves to give you some clarity. After you’ve uncovered it you can choose to tap through it or if it feels too big then seek out a qualified EFT practitioner to work with you to assist in your process.

‘Dysregulation’ seems to be one of the current buzzwords in the therapeutic world at the moment. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. 🤷🏼‍♀️BUT WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY MEAN? When we talk about our nervous system being dysregulated what does that look like? How can we tell if we’re dysregulated? This video will give you an answer. 👏🏻 (It will also show you the challenge of saying dysregulated multiple times 🥴) Let me know what you think in the comments 🙌🏼 Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #dysregulation #stress #chronicstress #dysregulated #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tapping

PARENTING STRESS It’s HARD isn’t it? Even with the tools and the knowledge that I have sometimes I just can’t take it. Usually when I’m feeling overwhelmed and like I want to quit parenting (or adulting in general) it’s because I’ve stopped prioritising my own needs and missed some much needed self care aka EFT (Tapping) time. Today my legend of a mum had my son for a few hours and I took some time to tap all of that stress and frustration away. And I feel SO much LIGHTER and more calm ✨ When we’re stressed and dysregulated, they are too. They play up, they push boundaries, they moan and hit which stressed us out even more…And the cycle continues. It’s easy to use that knowledge to create more fear and frustration in ourselves but why don’t we try it a different way? Do yourself a favour. Give yourself 5 minutes a tap it out. Tap on the toilet if you have to! If you fancy a 5 minute stress tapping session to appear on my grid soon then comment “STRESSED” or let me know if this resonates with you too. (Hoping it’s not just me that finds this parenting gig hard!) Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #mumlife #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #stressrelief #parentinglife

If you get lost in not knowing what to say when doing EFT then save this video and come back to it whenever you need!

Forever grateful for the people I get to work with 🙏🏼 EFT Tapping is such a powerful technique, especially when used in a therapeutic environment targeting a specific issue or series of issues. From general, health & social anxiety, food issues, phobias, overcoming trauma, limiting beliefs and self sabotage. The uses are endless. I have two slots left for 1-1 work this year, as I’m working on some big things behind the scenes 🙌🏼 so if you’re looking for support in the lead up to Christmas and new year then get in touch ✨ 🎥 @nadinesabrina_photography ##eft #efttapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner #anxiety

CHOOSE to feel calm and relaxed with the Choices method & EFT. If you get stuck on an issue, perhaps you’ve tapped it down a bit but it’s just not going anywhere after that then this is a great one to try out. The Choices Method was created by Dr Patricia Carrington and is a quick and effective addition to traditional Emotional Freedom Techniques. I personally like to use choice in the set up statements when tapping even if I don’t utilise the entire choices method technique. What would you CHOOSE if you could? #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #emotionalfreedomtechnique #choices #tapping #efttapping

This time last year I’d just presented to a packed out audience (they had to find more chairs!) and it’s still one of my favourite things I’ve done: introducing doctors, nurses, physios and other amazing cancer care professionals to EFT 🙌🏼 Many started the presentation with their arms folded and a look of scepticism on their faces but by the end they were intrigued and even excited! See, my job isn’t to convince anyone, whether people get on board with EFT or not isn’t up to me. It’s not for everyone and that’s ok! But being able to explain the research, what it’s all about and ultimately give people an extremely effective stress reduction tool to take away with them is one of my favourite things to do. So why @macmillancancer Professionals Conference? EFT Tapping can help with the stress & anxiety related to cancer care & diagnosis, studies have also shown it’s effectiveness on “chemo brain”. Plus, since it has the ability to up-regulate genes related to immunity & down-regulate some related to inflammation & stress it can have a profound impact on the body & brain. As a result it could be a great way to support those going through cancer alongside traditional treatment as well as supporting their families & those working in cancer care . I’m looking forward to even more workshops & events next year! Where should I go next? #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechnique #macmillancancersupport💚

The wait is over! Another brilliantly easy to find EFT Tapping point and the second on the Du/Governing Vessel Meridian. The Top of the Head point is sometimes the first or last point in a round depending on who you’re tapping with. Some practitioners like to start at the top of the head and then make their way down the points of the body. I was taught to start at the eyebrow and move in a circle back round to the top of the head . There’s no “right”, just personal preference. You’ll still get the same benefits of this point (all detailed in the video) no matter what order you do it in. Do you tap at the top of the head first or last? Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner #tappingpoints

The Under Arm Point is one which can feel a bit confusing to find but I found this great explanation which I‘m going to share with you. A lot of people find this point a bit awkward to get to, so I always say to my clients to skip it if it’s not comfortable. Although it is part of the clinical EFT series we can pretty confidently say that if you miss a point it won’t effect the outcome and you’ll still get great results from tapping. So are you a lover or a skipper when it comes to the under arm point? Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tapping #tappingpoints #eftpractitioner

Did you know? We’re often told we’re tapping on Kidney 27 in EFT but actually we’re guided towards the Kidney 26 point. So the collarbone point is another one that could be a bit complicated to find if you’re trying to get it perfectly correct. 🦴Kidney 27 is on the lower border of the collarbone/clavicle 🩻Kidney 26 is in the first intercostal dip I explain more in the video. 🙌🏼These points help to open up the chest, relieve coughs, chest pain and asthma. ✨They also help to stimulate the lymphatic system and support immune function. In traditional Chinese medicine the kidneys are associated with fears, phobias, apprehension and inadequacies. We’ve got 2 more points to go in this series so keep an eye out for them!

Unfortunately I’ve seen a lot of videos of people tapping on incorrect points claiming to be doing EFT, so as a remedy here’s another video to help you locate the Clinical EFT Tapping points. This one is all about the Chin Point (sometimes referred to as under the lip) Essentially it’s located in the chin crease, right in the middle of your face. According to TCM it’s great for everything I mentioned in the video and has many other benefits including relieving neck pain and supporting your very essence 🙌🏼 ✨ #eft #efttapping #tapping #eftpractitioner #emotionalfreedomtechniques #emotionalfreedomtechnique

Never thought I’d be in a video with @boygeorgeofficial 🙌🏼 Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to tap with him in real life but he’s (unknowingly) helping me to continue your intro into the Clinical EFT points. So the next point in the series is under the nose and it’s another that is quite self explanatory and easy to get right. This point is great for grounding and energising and a good one for one point tapping. Can you guess what other point is on the Du/Governing Vessel Meridian? #eft #efttapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechnique

The UNDER EYE EFT Tapping point Here’s one for people that wear glasses. The undereye point is Stomach Meridian 1 which is located directly below the pupil inside the orbital ridge (eye socket bone) HOWEVER a lot of the time we end up activating SM 2 which is the lower border of the eye socket instead. For people that wear glasses you could look at using SM 3, which is directly below the pupil and inline with the bottom of the nose. Basically all these points are on the Stomach Meridian and have benefits for the eyes, relieving itching, spasms, excess tear production, pain, redness and improving the overall health of the eyes. The Stomach Meridian also helps with feelings of nausea, worry, bitterness, anxiety and nervousness. I end up intuitively sticking on this point a lot when I tap for myself as I find it really soothing. Keep an eye out for more point tutorials and share if you found this helpful 🙌🏼 Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tapping #tcm #emotionalfreedomtechnique #eftpractitioner

Time to stop accepting things because we feel we can’t possibly do better, or just because ‘everybody has a thing’. I could easily have just accepted the fact that I get panic attacks when I feel sick and carried on avoiding situations that could possibly trigger me. But life is bigger and wider than that, and I want to live it. I have been working on the core issues to my response through EFT Tapping & Matrix Reimprinting as well as using EFT as an in the moment coping mechanism. I can honestly say I’ve even shocked myself at the result. This doesn’t necessarily mean than my work has finished, there may be more layers to unpeel but for now I’m celebrating.

Ever wondered if you’re tapping in the right place? Well wonder no more! Let’s get into with the Side of the Hand Point (originally referred to as the Karate Chop point until it was renamed to be more culturally respectful). This is the first of a series that looks into the locations of the EFT Tapping points according to the meridian system, largely used in traditional Chinese medicine therapies like acupressure/acupuncture. Previously just thought of as an energy channel, science has now confirmed it’s existence and coined it “the primo vascular system”.

The beautiful sunshine today is transporting me back to @thebigretreatfestival so I’m taking a moment to reminisce about holding this workshop all about limiting beliefs and EFT and feeling so grateful to everyone who came along and tapped with me. The power of EFT is endless and when we apply it to our lives in this way we can totally change our reality.

Some Sunday thoughts for you 💛✨ #littlemoments #walkswithmydog #sundayvibes

I might be on my own with this one but I also might not 😅 It’s ok to feel your feelings, and it’s also ok to choose how long you want to stay in them for. Someone asked me the other day if you can swear when you’re tapping… I hope the answer is in this video 😂 Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques

For anyone who needs to release a bit of pent up anger why not give this one a go? The Below Nipple point isn’t used in clinical EFT anymore because it’s a bit awkward to get to, especially for us women who’ve succumbed to gravity and/or had babies (am I right? 😂) However, I still do my best to get to it when I can, especially when I’m feeling angry or frustrated. The below nipple point correlates to the Liver Meridian in traditional Chinese medicine. This links emotional and physical health together. It’s believed that excessive irritability & anger can affect the liver and result in multiple issues, including menstrual pain, headache, redness of the face and eyes, dizziness, and dry mouth. And because the liver is connected to anger, when out of balance, it can show up as extremes of wrath and irritation or as a lack of feeling, as in depression or PTSD. These mental health imbalances are thought to be both symptoms and/or contributing causes of liver dysfunction. Interesting right? #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner #tapping #tcm

THE BOXING UP TECHNIQUE Here’s a mini introduction to the boxing up technique. If you haven’t quite tapped something down to a 0 or a 1 but you need to finish your session then using this process can help you to get regulated and move on with your day. You could begin with a set up phrase similar to “Even though, there’s still some emotions to process and maybe some things to work through, I’m choosing to put them all into a box and get on with my day” You can always add in some reminder phrases after tapping on the description of the box such as: “Choosing to leave this here for today” “Giving myself permission to release any need to do everything now” “Allowing myself to have a great rest of my day” And then keep tapping, allowing yourself to slowly sneak away from the issue until you feel calmer and able to get on with your day.

Why do people talk about energy when it comes to EFT? Originally EFT was only about energy, Gary Craig believed a disruption in energy is the cause of all negative emotions and pain. Tapping on acupressure points helps to clear any blockages in our energy (meridian) system which helps us to become more balanced. HOWEVER Although science supports the fact everything is energy, for many people (including me when EFT first found me) the energy thing didn’t land. What did was the research: (here’s a snippet) Anxiety ⬇️ 40% Cortisol ⬇️ 37% Depression ⬇️ 35% Pain ⬇️ 57% PTSD Symptoms ⬇️ 32% Food cravings ⬇️ 74% Blood pressure ⬇️ 8% Resting HR ⬇️ 8% Immune markers ⬆️113% Happiness ⬆️ 31% However, we’re now at a place where the two are coming together (with the discovery of the meridian aka primovascular system) and I think it’s so exciting. Plus no matter which description lands better with you it doesn’t matter! Find what works for you and run with it 🙌🏼 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography Research credit: D. Bach, ND, G. Groesbeck, P.

What should I say when tapping? This is a really common question that comes up from anyone new to EFT. So here’s my answer… 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #tapping #eft #efttapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques

New episode of The Echoes is out now! This one is all about EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)! How I discovered it (it involves a medium!), how it works and what it can be used for.

One of the easiest places to start with EFT: Tap and breathe. If you find that you get lost worrying about the words or whether you should talk out loud or not then follow me. This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to feel more calm and relaxed if you are experiencing anxiety, stress or any other unhelpful emotion. #eft #eftpractitioner #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tapping

Tapping for fear foods We know that tapping is extremely effective on food cravings (-74%) but did you know it is just as effective when targeting fears around food? Feeling anxious around certain types of food is more common than you might think. It’s not a surprise when you think about all the diet culture we grew up around. Do you have “good” and “bad” foods? Do you have unsafe foods? Do you feel uncomfortable eating a certain food group? This video gives you a brief overview of how we would start to tackle fears over eating a certain food. Let me know if you found this useful and what you want to see next! Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #tapping #fearfood #emotionalfreedomtechniques

Tapping for pain Studies have shown EFT Tapping can reduce pain by 57% and they’ve even been doing some fascinating trials on chronic pain. One of the first times I used EFT was on my husband, he’d had a neck pain for ages and hadn’t stopped talking about it. So, not really believing I’d get much of a result I asked him if we could try this tapping thing that I’d learnt. In only 15 minutes he reported that he couldn’t feel it anymore and I haven’t heard about his neck pain since! It was one of the moments where I really started to believe in the power of EFT. I also used it when my husband had a mountain biking accident, broke his wrist and ripped his face open but I’ll save that for another day!

Did you know that you can use EFT as a way to deal with feeling and emotions around food too? If you have ever experienced stress or anxiety around a meal, you’ll likely understand how distressing this can feel. There can be many reasons; 🍽️ you’ll be having to eat food you haven’t prepared yourself 🍽️ eating in front of other people 🍽️ comments about what/how you’re eating 🍽️ fears around food 🍽️ ED thoughts and feelings ☝🏼 those are just a few The thing is, the more we avoid a situation the scarier it gets and it’s really important to challenge this avoidance, especially if we’re looking to heal our relationship with food. But instead of white knuckling it, why not tap through all the stuff coming up for you so that you can relax, choose how you want to step into this meal and how you’d like to feel. Here’s a starting point for you to give you a bit of inspiration, let me know if you found this useful and what you’d like to see more of in the comments! #eft #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #recovery #edrecovery

Honestly, I could go on about this subject for hours… EFT has a really powerful effect on cravings (reduction of 74%) because of the way it works in the brain. The proof is in the science and from the experiences of my clients. But I see so many people only coming at it from a diet culture/disordered angle. Which actually gets me a little frustrated. Instead of using cravings work as a way to remove “bad” foods from our diets or solely in the pursuit of losing weight, it’s best to look at it from the perspective of healing our relationship with it. Look at the bigger picture. Because no food is inherently good or bad. It’s the way that we view it and the power we give it that can create these problematic cravings. So that’s my mini TED talk in the captions (not many people read these anymore, so if you’re here- hello!) What do you think?

Let’s stick to the basics: what actually is EFT? Also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques Also known as Tapping Here’s a very quick run down! #eft #efttapping #tapping #eftpractitioner #emotionalfreedomtechniques

Fun fact, I have been tapping on the train journeys down to London and not one single person has given my a funny look or asked what I’ve been doing. A lot of the time that I teach someone the discreet tapping points they’ll say something like “I do this all the time anyway but never knew it was EFT!” I think it’s because a lot of the time we intuitively know what calms us down. Discreet tapping is perfect if you are in public and feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or even if you just want to think straight. Have you tried it yet? Or maybe you do it naturally? #eft #efttapping #discreettapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner

The finger or discreet points are a great way to tap when you’re out and about. I personally use them every morning when I go on the morning walk to help to set myself up for the day. Each finger point is believed to correspond to specific meridians in the body but as with all tapping you don’t have to tap on a specific point for a specific thing. These points are a great one to keep in mind if you’re feeling anxious or triggered in public as it will enable you to access EFT benefits without having to draw attention to yourself by tapping on your head! #efttapping #tapping #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques

Tapping to close off the week Take a moment to acknowledge exactly how you feel and how your week has been. Connect into your emotions, any tension or stress in your body. Then give yourself permission to let go and choose how you want to feel. Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way 💛 Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner

Talking about Health Anxiety/Hyperchondria @lewiscapaldi has bravely documented his own struggles with health anxiety, anxiety and Tourette’s and the resounding thing I saw on another platform was when I posted a similar version of this video was that so many people resonated with him. I myself have struggled with a version of health anxiety due to the trauma of my ED and experiences surrounding that. Despite cognitively processing the debilitating attacks I had due to low potassium, every time I felt ill I still had a panic attack. Through EFT I have managed to no longer have full panic attacks, I feel calmer and cognitively fine but my body still experiences some of it. I’m currently working though this with EFT & Matrix Reimprinting and it’s reducing all the time 🙌🏼 So, with that very impromptu share, I just want anyone who does experience health anxiety to know that you’re not alone and things can get better 💛 Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttapping #tapping #healthanxiety #hyperchondriac #anxiety #recover

When I look back at all the hard times, sometimes this was the message that I needed. Because sometimes we don’t think that it’ll ever be ok again. I’ve been there many times. But you are more impossibly wonderful than you can ever know. You have got through 100% of your hard days so far, and you can get through this. Life will feel brighter again. You will find yourself. You’re going to be ok. #mypeople #quotes #braindump #itsgoingtobeokay

Can you tap on the positive? This is something you’ll probably see online more than anything else. And there’s a reason for it. EFT is an incredible tool that can help us process emotions and experiences at a deep level. It helps us to enquire within ourselves and uncover the stuff that’s holding us back. Sometimes that can be confronting, sometimes the deep work feels uncomfortable. So in order to show up ethically online as practitioners we have to do our best to put out stuff that purposely doesn’t go too deep. That’s why a lot of the time you’ll see “affirmation tapping” or “positive” tapping. You can reduce your body’s stress response and feel calm and relaxed just by the physical act of tapping, so if you’re just looking to change your state quickly it doesn’t matter too much what you say. But if you’re looking at going deeper, overcoming trauma, anxiety, addictions, unravelling and reprogramming your beliefs etc, then positive tapping may not get you very far. Is there a place for positive tapping? 100%! But would you be guided in this way when working with a practitioner? No, not until you’ve cleared stuff first. I explain a bit more about why in the video but I’d love to know what you think?

What EFT is NOT. I talk about what EFT is and how it works a lot but let’s think about what it’s not: - a placebo - a distraction technique - exposure or talk therapy - a symptom substitution 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #emotionalfreedomtechnique #eftpractitioner

Does EFT tapping magnify our emotions? Sometimes it may feel like it because when we tap we can suddenly find ourselves experiencing a high level of emotion. But the truth is that it only helps us to access emotions that we’re previously suppressed or been unseen. It can be surprising that’s for sure but the main thing to remember if you do experience a high level of emotion is to keep tapping. The act of tapping will you to feel calmer much more quickly than if you stop when you’re really feeling it, you may just need to take the focus away the memory or feeling that you’re experiencing for a few moments. Have you ever been surprised about what you’ve tapped into when using EFT? Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner

Heavy heart? Tap with me… I’m not entirely sure where this came from, but I feel like someone might need it. Often heaviness in our bodies and in our hearts are there to try to root us down, a protection mechanism or a response that makes us want to curl up and recover. All is ok, it will pass. Using EFT may enable you to process and bring the lightness back sooner. Give it time and tapping 💖 Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #tapping #efttapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques

Because even on holiday it’s good to tap 🙌🏼 I’m officially that person who takes her shoes off as often as she can and purposely finds time to reconnect.

EFT & it’s layers! 🍰 You can use EFT Tapping for a whole range of issues and topics. From trauma to Trypophobia, managing stress to manifesting! But I wanted to give you a real example of how you can access multiple layers of a problem by telling you about my tapping process the other day… The beauty of EFT is that it’s a tool that can help you to process and prosper at each phase: 😡Feeling an uncomfortable emotion -> tap it down 💭A memory, event or experience that’s painful or traumatic -> tap to process and move past it 🧠An unhelpful belief that is no longer serving you ->tap it out It’s important to note that you may come up against memories that may not feel safe to explore on your own, this is when you’d reach out to a practitioner (like me) who can support you. Have you tried it yet? Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttapping #eftpractitioner #tapping

An acknowledged, allowed emotion moves quicker than one that is suppressed. Tapping doesn’t remove emotions, it doesn’t stop us from responding in a way that might be deemed as ‘negative’ i.e getting stressed, upset, anxious, angry etc. But what it does do is help us to regulate those emotions so that you have a subjectively more appropriate level of response to what is going on around you as well as not getting ‘stuck’ IN it. Tapping directly affects the stress centres of the brain so even just a few rounds can help you to feel calmer, clearer and more relaxed.

Friday musings 💭 When I first started working with Matrix reimprinting I found it extremely difficult to be compassionate to my echos (the younger versions of me). I just felt like they needed to get through it on their own. If anyone has done inner child work, which is similar in some ways, I wonder if you’ve felt the same? But now, being able to be the person that I really needed in those times of darkness is a gift. I’m so grateful and have so much love for all of the versions of myself I’ve moved through and for those that are yet to come. It’s all learning. When we’re faced with an echo of ourselves it’s harder to be as unkind or neglectful as we are to the person in the mirror. We most likely look to protect, or support or love even more deeply. How can you love more? Leading with curiosity and compassion and letting go of fear, judgement & shame. That’s where we begin💛 #eft #eftpractitioner #matrix #matrixreimprinting #innerchild #innerchildhealing

WHY does tapping work? Trying to pack the science from the fantastic @petastapleton into a 90 second clip was nearly impossible so if you want a much more thorough and interesting update then head over to her page and look her up on YouTube. In the workshops I’ve been running this summer I’ve been teasing about the meridian system update so I’m so grateful I can finally share this. “WHY does tapping on accupressure points effect us?”is one of the most common questions I receive. We can cite the evidence that EFT works with self reported measures, the brain scan studies, cortisol, DNA and other physiological markers of health but the how had always been a little bit more vague. It’s so exciting that the science is finally catching up and we can now show proof with evidence like this. Huge thank you to everyone in this field for all their time and research. Now..I’m off to update my workshop slides! Have you tried EFT before? Do you like to know how something works before you can truly believe it? 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #eftpractitioner #evidencebased #tapping #efttapping #efti

There have been so many times in my life, where I have been asked. What do you want to do when you grow up? And I’ve been so lost in the doing that at times everything has just felt really empty and really meaningless. But as I get clearer, I realise that the more important question, to me at least, is who do you want to be? Who I want to be enabled me to ‘do’ with more authenticity and enjoyment then before. So let me ask you…? 🎥 from mine and @nadinesabrina_photography trip to London where I held an EFT workshop at the wonderful @balance_festival for @justbreathe #eft #efttapping #tapping #thoughts #wordstoliveby #midyear

Using EFT Tapping for pain There are quite a few studies that show the efficacy of EFT on pain and chronic pain so I thought I’d do a quick video to help get you started.

Did you know you could go this deep with EFT? EFT (tapping) itself is a beautifully transformative tool, how far you go with it is up to you ✨ Whether you use it to manage and process in the moment emotions, deactivate triggers, deal with core events or dive into the beliefs that have shaped you. It’s important to work at a level that feels right for you. Remember, always reach out to a practitioner if you feel like you need support, a space to be seen or are finding something difficult to move through by yourself. #eft #efttapping #tapping #emotionalfreedomtechniques #eftpractitioner

Here’s something about me, over the years I learnt not to tell people how I really felt, I hid in secrets and lies and was so afraid that if I was totally, authentically me that I would be rejected or left behind. If anyone got too close then I would shut down and shut off. Self preservation at its finest. On the rare occasion that I did let someone in they would inevitably hurt me, leave me and forget about me…and I’d be the one left trapped in nostalgic pain. I learnt that it wasn’t safe to be me or to feel deeply. Over the last decade I stopped lying and was unashamedly (probably uncomfortably) myself. I recovered from my ED, I decided to go sober, I deepened relationships and also let go of others. I allowed myself the space to get curious & be who I really am. Recently when I did some personal tapping I decided to change the set up statement to end with “I give myself permission to lead from my heart” because even though I allow myself to truly feel life & care deeply for people, it can still hurt at times. Because if I connect with you- I will think about you, care about and support you. And I’ve come to realise that other people don’t work like that, and that’s ok! I believe in saying how you feel, not holding back, supporting good people doing great things and I will always advocate for that, even if it makes me a little weird 😂 (Remembering when I solo cheered and clapped @joshuapatterson_jp in the middle of Gloucester on his 76/76/76 challenge🤷🏼‍♀️😅) So here’s a Tuesday reminder to say it’s ok to lead with your heart, leave your ego and embarrassment at the door because life is better with you in it. The people that are meant to be in your life will love you for it. Also, the beauty of being unapologetically me is that I generally attract the same kind of humans into my life and it’s so refreshing! 💖

Have you tried Heart Breathing? If you’re feeling disconnected or distressed then take a few minutes and feel better. Here’s how: 💖 Place your hands over your heart and focus by imagining or just connecting into it. 💖Breathe normally and imagine/feel as if your breath is coming in and out of your heart area. 💖Begin to regulate your breathing to a count of six each way 💖 Breathe for six into your heart space. 💖 Breathe for six out of your heart space. 💖Continue with this for a few minutes, or as long as you need 💖 Keep your focus on your heart area and allow yourself to open and relax #matrixreimprinting #eft #eftpractitioner #mindfulness

One of the greatest things we can experience in life is to be truly seen. We spend so much time collecting stories and conditioning from the people & the world around us that we often feel less than, not good enough or pale in comparison. But when we start to find ourselves again and begin to live as we were designed, we attract the people who match, challenge and compliment us. They support us to be unapologetically authentic and remind us that it’s always ok to grow and move forward in life & at the same time recognising that we are perfect already. This is something that I treasure in people, the ability to see and be seen. Love no matter what. #fridaythoughts 📸@nadinesabrina_photography

The Butterfly Hug + visualisation. This has been one of my “go tos” recently. It’s great when you feel overwhelmed, run down or if you just have some stuff still hanging around after doing an EFT session or other therapeutic process. If you haven’t come across the butterfly hug then here’s a quick video to describe it, with an additional option for a visualisation that helps you to feel grounded, clear out any residual stuff you are ready to let go of in order to call in a more light, bright present moment.

I’m not sure that I can put into words how incredible this weekend has been… Firstly huge thank you to Amber & the team at @thebigretreatfestival for inviting me to run 2 EFT workshops this weekend and be a part of something really special. I am so honoured & grateful to every single person that came along to my workshops, and listened to me, banging on about EFT Tapping and joined in with some pretty special group taps. Even though I haven’t had a drink for 4 years it was my first sober festival and I laughed, talked, sung, danced my arse off and had the best time that I think I’ve had at any festival, ever. I feel like you connect with people in a totally different way in this kind of environment, it’s breathtaking and refreshing. I felt totally myself and it reminded me importance of fun, which is so easy to fall aside when we have responsibilities and busy stressful lives. My cup is full and the bags under my eyes are totally worth it! 💛 Extra love to @goldie1chris2 @gary__bach @mattjohnsons @theholisticassistant @katerh_fitness @augusts_garden and @chickemily for making my soul happy and making it a weekend to remember. #wellnessfestival #eft #efttapping #tapping #thebigretreatwales

I can’t believe it’s been a week since I hosted EFT at @balance_festival in the @justbreathe Sanctuary. It was incredible to hold space for so many people and introduce them to a new or unfamiliar modality alongside so many other wonderful teachers of meditation, breathwork and sound healing. In all of my workshops I aim to create space for someone to understand the true transformative power of EFT, experience it for themselves and then leave with the confidence to apply it in their lives as much or as little as they’d like.

Why do we tap on the negative when we do EFT? It’s a common question, especially when a lot of tapping you see on social media is geared towards the positive.

Today I stumbled across the diary I wrote when I ended up in hospital due to my eating disorder and took a moment to reflect on just how much has changed in the past decade. I was lost, hopeless and obsessed. Constantly afraid of myself and wishing that the physical and mental anguish would stop. I sought relief in food, alcohol, men, self destruction but nothing stopped me from the overwhelming belief that I wasn’t good enough. I hated my body. I hated myself. I hated being here. To look back now on one of the hardest journeys of my life, I feel so grateful. My pain, my struggle has been transmuted into my greatest power and the reason behind & why I care so much about what I do. If you’re reading this and you’re in the thick of it, if you feel like you’re living behind lies and limitations, if you feel stuck or hopeless. Know that there is hope. If you can’t see it, know that I’m holding it for you. Because I see that we can all step forwards and upwards, at any point. We can change our reality, break through limiting beliefs and let go of the lies we tell ourselves. I can sit here today and say that my body is imperfect and incredible. For everything that it has gone through, for everything it has done and for every thing it is yet to experience. Not only that, but I feel as though I’ve finally come home to myself, the weird and wonderful self that I worked so hard to shrink down and dull before I realised how much I was missing out on. I always knew that I was supposed to stand on stage using my voice and have always felt so deeply for life and for others, so to be able to do that through my work is one of the most rewarding experiences, and for that I’ll forever be grateful. If you’re on this journey with me, thank you 💛✨ #stardust #efttappingpoints #efttapping #eftpractitioner #edawareness #sobercurious #limitless #edrecovery

If you’re feeling anxious, follow along with me 💛 This is a really simple way you can use EFT when feeling anxious. If you’re not feeling extremely anxious then you can rate how you feel out of 10 (10= really anxious) before you start. When tapping on an emotion we want to tap it down until it’s rated a 0 or a 1. So if you’re following a video like this you would just repeat it (missing out the set up on the side of the hand) until you feel better 😊 Let me know if you enjoyed this below 👇🏼 Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #eftpractitioner #efttappingpoints #efttapping #anxiety #anxious #mhaw #tohelpmyanxiety #tapping

EFT & ANXIETY Have you tried it? If you feel anxious here’s a couple of ways that EFT could help you to feel calmer and more relaxed quickly. This year Mental Health Awareness week is focusing on the subject on Anxiety. Anxiety is a very normal and necessary emotion for us all to feel at certain times,however when it becomes a daily occurrence and/or something that negatively impacts our lives that’s when it’s important to reach out for support. I’ve worked with a lot of clients who have been interested in using EFT to deal with their anxiety and some of the transformations have been incredible. One of the best parts about EFT tapping is that it’s a tool can be utilised by anyone, anytime. Once you learn it, you can use it whenever you need. If you’re new to EFT you may want to take a peek and some of my videos for a video demonstration but: The side of the hand point is on either side of the hand, on the fleshy bit down from the little finger. Other points are as follows; Eyebrow (beginning of your eyebrow) Side of the eye Under the eye Under the nose Chin (under the lip on the chin crease) Collarbone (about an inch below near the start of your collarbone) Under arm (where you’d wear a backpack strap) Top of the head (These points together complete 1 round) #eft #efttappingpoints #emotionalfreedomtechniques #anxiety #mentalhealthawareness #mhaw #tapping #efttapping #tohelpmyanxiety

Here’s a quick little routine to tap into self love 💖 This is something you can do to with intention if you want to increase this area by doing it daily for a few weeks. Or you can use it as a way to discover your ‘buts’ - where do you feel resistance? What thoughts or memories come up for you? These can be the avenues into exploration and something to tap on in the future. Give yourself some love today and share with someone who you love too! 💖 Cover 📸 @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tapping #efttapping #selflove #chooselove

Why EFT? Because it helps us to really acknowledge the truth of our experience in order let go and call in what we truly want from life. My approach integrates the mind-body and uses a mixture of evidence-based practices, personal experience and intuition to help you move from frozen to free with effective, long lasting results. I work intuitively with you to understand, accept and release anything that may be challenging or keeping you feeling stuck in your life. After experiencing and recovering from a decade of eating disorders and mental health illnesses I use my lived experience, training, skills and knowledge to support and empower you to find freedom and thrive. Only when we clear any blocks and let go of whatever is holding us back can we ask ‘What is next’?; Unlocking your true potential by embracing your uniqueness with confidence and self belief so that you can be more, have more and live more. So if you’re ready to move beyond disordered eating, trauma, limiting beliefs, PTSD, anxiety, stress, negative behaviours and more. I’d love to get to know you. 💖 Also huge shout out to @danadayluna for this incredible song. #eft #eftpractitioner #efttappingpoints #emotionalfreedomtechniques

4 YEARS 🎉 24th April 2023 (not just the date I turned 32) It’s kind of weird that it’s been over 4 years since I’ve had alcohol or been drunk. It’s also very weird how much my life has changed. 4 years ago I was a bit of a problem drinker, I wouldn’t drink every day but when I did I’d never want to stop. I didn’t ruin my relationships or my life with alcohol but I definitely wasn’t the best version of myself after a few rum and cokes. Worst of all was the anxiety and waking up thinking that everyone hates me. 4 years on and I’ve developed as a person so much than I ever could have imagined and my life hasn’t been limited at all by not drinking. This last year is the first year where I’ve really questioned what I’m doing in not drinking. Why am I still doing it? It began with a challenge to myself and I know now that it’s one that has been pretty easy as well as one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. I ask myself am I ever going to drink again and I really don’t know the answer! Part of me doesn’t want to ruin an impressive streak 😂There is also a slight fear that if I drink again I’ll end up going back to it, and it’ll be just like before. But do I want to live my life dictated to by fear? No. But do I think I’m a better wife, mother, practitioner etc without drinking? For me, yes. So I guess I’m at the point where I’ve decided that when it becomes less of a choice each day and more of a ‘shouldn’t’ or ‘can’t’ thing then I might readdress it and get curious…but for now I literally cannot be bothered! Not drinking alcohol is giving me way more than drinking did so we’ll see what this year holds. Will I get to 5 years? We’ll see! Have you ever gone AF?

How long will I need to do EFT for? The answer to this may surprise you! A few studies have looked into the cost effectiveness of Clinical EFT in comparison to the ‘gold standard’ CBT and talk therapy. In comparison the amount of sessions is considerably less. If you take an issue like PTSD, CBT will generally take 18-24 sessions however EFT produces better results in less than half the time, 6-10! If you look at anxiety, sessions could be between 1-5, in comparison to 15 for CBT. Of course, each issue is different and so is each individual. If there are many layers and aspects, or you need to take things slowly then that will further inform the process but it’s so encouraging to see that we have access to a tool that is highly effective in a short amount of time 🙌🏼 Have you tried EFT yet? How have you found it in comparison to CBT? #eft #eftpractitioner #cbt #efttappingpoints #tapping #clinicaleft #emotionalfreedomtechniques

To be totally transparent, I’ve found being a mum pretty difficult lately. And I’m sure I’m not alone. I mean, find me a mum who doesn’t feel like she is failing her child, her life, her work, her relationships, herself at some point or another. (If you do then admit them for testing immediately as we need to find the secret! 😅) My son is coming up to 2, boundary testing, figuring himself out, there are so many big emotions that he’s trying to move through. This all gets so much worse when I’m also stressed and feeling like I’m no good. So today, we had a quiet moment and he let me do EFT on him (using the finger points) for almost 20 minutes whilst he watched Encanto. As I was doing it I felt him physically relaxing into me more and more. He then had a massive nap. It was a much needed break and reset for us both. When we tap as parents, either on/for ourselves or for our children we have the opportunity to self-regulate, relax and let go. I’m no parenting expert but I know for a fact that EFT helps me to be a better mum, it also lights me up when he copies me and taps on himself. Every now and then he even comes up and taps on me, that’s when I know he’s saying “mum, just chill out ok” 😅 Thought I’d share this moment with you to show that it’s never to early to start using EFT and that it’s ok to not feel like you’re winning at parenting. Tap, breathe and it all shall pass 💖 Note: if you want to try tapping on your little one then make sure to watch out for their cues, if they are showing you that they don’t want you to or they say no then respect their boundaries and stop. #eft #efttappingpoints #emotionalfreedomtechniques #tapping #eftpractitioner #efttapping

EFT can appear so simple sometimes that it’s quite hard to believe that it could work. But do you have to believe that it works for it to work for you? Short answer, no. The power of belief is a really important thing not to disregard so it’s always important to tap through any doubt or scepticism at the start. However, because one of the active ingredients for EFT is tapping on the acupressure points that itself can create the physical changes without the need for total belief. You’ve just got to believe enough to give it a go 😉 Cover 📸 by @nadinesabrina_photography #eft #efttappingpoints #efttapping #tapping #tappingtherapy #eftpractitioner
