Welcome!
Life can bring challenges that are hard to navigate on your own. I've noticed that, when we are suffering, there is often some form of grief and loss involved. And grief and loss can give rise to other difficult feelings, such as anger, hurt, anxiety, sadness and hopelessness. I specialize in helping you to clarify what is bothering you, to accept and feel all of the feelings, and to allow them to move through you, so that you don't have to continue to carry them.
​
I am here to listen compassionately to all of it, to acknowledge what you are going through, and to help you allow all the feelings, and sort through the confusion. As we do that, I'll teach you EFT (tapping) and other tools to help yourself when you feel anxious or overwhelmed.
What is EF T?
Emotional Freedom Techniques (also called EFT or Tapping) is a simple mind/body technique for calming your nervous system. You gently tap on energy points on your body, while focusing on something that bothers you. This has the effect of softening or often releasing the feeling or thought that bothers you. Once you learn how to do it, you have a tool, literally at your fingertips, that can help you to feel calm and grounded, and to release things that bother you or keep you stuck.

I'm not a spring chicken, and that's a good thing. When I work with you I bring all that I am, and all that I've learned in seven decades of life. I have an empathic ability to put myself in your shoes and see and feel your experience. In the moment, my intuition often comes through with just the insight you need to hear. And believe it or not, even when we are dealing with grief and loss, a bit of humor often shows up to lighten your mood.
Individual Sessions
​​I specialize in supporting people who are suffering from some kind of loss in their life. We experience loss when life is no longer the way we thought, dreamed or planned it would be. Grief usually accompanies loss, and anxiety can tag along, too, especially if the loss causes major disruption in your life patterns. I teach you methods and tools to support yourself as you process all the feelings and begin to take small steps forward. Tapping is one of those tools.
​
Emotional Freedom Techniques, also called “EFT”, or “tapping,” is an easy-to-learn mind/body modality for calming your own nervous system. I guide you as you tap gently on energy points on your body. As we tap, we speak about something that hurts or bothers you. We pair this with a statement of acceptance or intention. This most often has the effect of softening, or often entirely removing the emotional pain, whether it is caused by troubling memories or current circumstances, while creating a physical and emotional feeling of calm. Studies have shown that tapping can lower heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels in the body. Tapping gives you a tool for helping yourself, literally at your fingertips. Once you know how to do it, you can use it to regulate your nervous system on your own, any time and anywhere.
Everyone is unique, but here are some of the most common reactions I hear as people learn to tap: “I feel so much calmer.” “I can think of that old memory, but it doesn’t have the emotional charge it used to have.” “I just don’t feel so angry about it now.”
EFT can be helpful for:
• Stress
• Anxious thoughts
• Grief and loss
• Fears
• Painful memories
• Physical concerns
• Figuring out what is bothering you, or why
• Stage fright or fear of public speaking
• Knowing, understanding, and accepting yourself and others
• Getting unstuck

I send you a form to complete. You will write about what is going on for you that you'd like to explore through tapping. This will give me a thorough idea of what you are feeling and thinking.

I create a private tapping 30-minute tapping video just for you, and email it to you.

Here's part of what my client Roz McBride said about her Emotional Reset:
​
"Thank you so much for this! I’ve been tapping along with it every day and it is so helpful. So much to think about and tap on. Many of your insights have worked together to give me some important ideas to explore.
Your voice and your insights feel so kind and genuine. Listening to your voice makes me feel accepted, calm and encouraged. Having this as a reminder and a tool to keep using is very helpful. I’m so glad I tried it and know I’ll continue to use it!"
