About EFT Tapping & Shannon’s Healing Approach

EFT tapping, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, blends ancient acupressure with modern psychology to support emotional and physical well-being.
Using your fingertips, you gently tap on key meridian points to interrupt stress signals in the body, helping regulate your nervous system and create space for clarity and healing.

This simple, somatic practice encourages emotional release, nervous system regulation, and long-term resilience. Over time, tapping can help you feel more grounded, peaceful, and at ease—no matter what life brings.

When you feel stressed or anxious, your brain sends signals to your body that say you are not safe. This activates the fight or flight response, which can cause racing thoughts, muscle tension, and a constant sense of pressure.

Through EFT tapping, a gentle technique that involves tapping on specific acupressure points, you send a new message to the brain that it is safe to relax. This process helps lower cortisol levels, regulate emotions, and calm the body’s natural stress response.

As your nervous system settles, your body can finally exhale. You begin to feel grounded, steady, and clear-minded again, creating a deep sense of relaxation and inner balance that supports lasting stress relief and emotional well-being.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple, evidence-based method that helps calm the nervous system and release stress. By gently tapping on specific acupressure points while acknowledging how you feel, you can shift difficult emotions and experience emotional relief in just minutes.

Clinical research shows that EFT tapping can regulate the body’s stress response more quickly than traditional talk therapy. It is gentle, non-invasive, and empowering to use anywhere and anytime once you learn the basics.

Tapping helps you process emotions without becoming overwhelmed, release what your body no longer needs to hold, and build lasting emotional resilience for life’s ups and downs. Think of it as a reset button for your nervous system that helps you feel centered, calm, and fully connected to your body again.

EFT tapping can support a wide range of emotional and physical challenges by helping the body release stress and return to balance. People use EFT to find relief from:

• Anxiety and overwhelm

• Stress and burnout

• Chronic pain or muscle tension

• Fear and phobias

• Low self-worth or limiting beliefs

• Difficulty sleeping or restless nights

• Emotional eating or persistent cravings

• Anger, sadness, or grief

• Past trauma or PTSD

• Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unmotivated

EFT is now being studied and used in hospitals, wellness clinics, and therapy practices around the world. It has even been approved as an effective treatment for PTSD in U.S. veterans, highlighting its growing recognition as a safe, evidence-based method for emotional healing and mind-body wellness.

Each session begins with a simple check-in about how you’re feeling or what you’d like support with. From there, I’ll guide you step-by-step through tapping - showing you where to tap and what to say. 

You don’t need to know anything in advance. We go at your pace, and you’re always in control of the process.

Most people notice a sense of calm and lightness by the end of the session. Some feel energy moving through their body (like warmth, tingling, or release), and others describe it as a wave of peace they haven’t felt in a long time.

Afterward, it’s normal to feel relaxed, sleepy, or reflective as your body integrates the shift. Drink water, take a walk, or rest if you can. Your system has done beautiful work.

I bring together advanced EFT, somatic energy healing, and trauma-informed care to support your whole self ~ mind, body, and heart. Our work goes far beyond surface-level stress relief. We gently get to the root of what’s happening underneath, helping your nervous system find calm while shifting the emotions, patterns, and beliefs that have been keeping you stuck.

You’ll never be rushed or judged. I meet you exactly where you are, with compassion and curiosity, and guide you through the process at your pace. Whether we’re working through anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, or the overwhelm of everyday life, my intention is always the same: to help you find the relief you need in a safe and gentle way.

I also teach you the very same tools and techniques I use myself so you’re not dependent on me long term. You’ll learn how to calm your own nervous system, ease stress in the moment, and support yourself for a lifetime.

Clients often say they leave our sessions feeling lighter, grounded, and more themselves than they’ve felt in years. Many also say, “I wish I had this years ago.”

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions, along with workshops, group experiences, and self-paced programs.
