Calm Your Inner Critic.
Heal Your Nervous System.


Trauma‑informed Clinical EFT support for women who want gentler self‑talk, less emotional overload, and a steadier sense of safety in everyday life.

When “Holding It Together” Is Taking Everything You Have

On the outside, it looks like you’re managing.

On the inside, you’re exhausted from keeping it all under control.

  • Your mind keeps replaying conversations, mistakes, or “what ifs” long after the day is over.
  • Your body feels tense or heavy—tight chest, clenched jaw, knotted stomach.
  • You swing between pushing yourself harder and collapsing into numbness or shutdown.
  • You hear an inner critic that never seems satisfied, no matter how much you do.

You might even tell yourself, “Other people have been through worse. I should be able to cope.”

But your nervous system is telling the truth: it’s tired, overloaded, and doing its best to protect you.

You don’t have to “just get over it.”

There is a kinder, safer way to change.

Most advice focuses on mindset: “Think positive.” “Reframe.” “Stop overthinking.”


But if your body still feels like it’s in danger, your nervous system will keep pulling you back into the same reactions—no matter how well you understand them.

When you’ve lived with chronic stress, grief, criticism, or pressure, your system learns to stay on guard. That can show up as:

  • Constantly scanning for what might go wrong
  • Feeling guilty for resting or saying no
  • Shutting down, going blank, or spacing out when emotions feel too big
  • Numbing with work, screens, or busyness

Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “try harder.”

It’s about gently teaching your brain and body: “It’s okay now. You’re allowed to be safe.”

That’s where trauma‑informed EFT is so powerful.

Real Growth Begins When Your System Feels Safe Enough to Let Go

Clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a gentle, evidence‑based method that combines:

  • Light tapping on specific acupressure points
  • Focused awareness on thoughts, emotions, and body sensations

Together, these signals help your brain and nervous system to:

  • Turn down the “alarm bells” of anxiety and hypervigilance
  • Loosen the grip of painful memories and beliefs
  • Soften patterns of self-blame and harsh inner criticism
  • Create space for more calm, clarity, and self-compassion

In our work together, we:

  • Go at a pace that honours your history and your capacity
  • Use language and methods that align with your values and boundaries
  • Create a safely held space where nothing about you is “too much”

Over time, you may notice:

  • More ease in your body, even on stressful days
  • Fewer late‑night spirals and racing thoughts
  • More choice in how you respond, instead of reacting on autopilot
  • A kinder, gentler inner voice

You don’t have to keep managing everything alone. If you’re ready for support, here are a few ways we can work together, at a pace and depth that match what your nervous system can hold right now.

What Our Time Together Is Actually Like

—Grounded in Science, Delivered with Care

Many women worry that if they open up, everything will spill out and they won’t be able to put themselves back together.


Our work is designed to feel contained, grounded, and safe.

In a typical session, we will:

  • Start with a simple check‑in and choose a focus together
  • Make sure your body feels as settled as possible before going deeper
  • Use EFT tapping in small, manageable steps so you never feel pushed or flooded
  • Slow down or pause anytime your system asks for it
  • Close with grounding and a sense of completion for that day

There is room for tears, silence, laughter, and questions.

You are not “too much,” and you don’t have to perform or impress.

We honour your story, your pace, and your values.

Is This Right for You?

This work may be a good fit if:

  • You’re tired of managing everything alone and are open to gentle support
  • You’re ready to look at patterns like self‑criticism, people‑pleasing, or shutdown with honesty and kindness
  • You value an approach that is both evidence‑based and deeply respectful of your history and beliefs
  • You’d like simple, practical tools you can continue to use on your own

It may not be a fit right now if:

  • You’re looking for crisis or emergency support
  • You want someone to give you quick tips without exploring the deeper roots
  • You’re not willing to carve out regular time and energy for your healing over a season

If you’re unsure, that’s okay. That’s exactly what the 15‑minute call is for.

Powerful Shifts, Real Stories

Lauren K.

April 2022

"Working with Coach Kay helped me find clarity after a dark period. Her gentle approach helped me heal and opened doors I never thought possible."

Liz Bisbee

March 2023

"While I had done short EFT sessions via app and YouTube before, this was very different. Kay uses questioning and her own instincts to find the heart of the issue being discussed. She then designs a program to fit the situation, using heart, connection, and EFT skills to help her client shift energy and thinking to a more positive place. I am so grateful for the opportunity to experience EFT at the hands of a skilled practitioner."

Michelle

June 2025

"I really love the sense of clarity that I gain from my EFT sessions with Kay. No matter what technique we use, Kay's calm guidance always creates ease and flow for me. Since starting, I've noticed fewer looping thoughts, a clearer mind, and a stronger connection to myself."

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Clinical EFT, and how is it different from regular EFT or the “tapping videos” I’ve seen online?

Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is the evidence-based form of tapping — supported by more than 100 peer-reviewed studies. It follows a clear, structured protocol that combines gentle tapping on specific acupoints with focused cognitive steps to calm the body’s stress response and create measurable, lasting change.

All EFT is tapping — but not all tapping is EFT.


Many “tapping videos” online offer simplified versions that can still feel soothing but may not follow the full, research-backed process. Clinical EFT is taught and practiced by certified practitioners trained research based protocols and ethical standards.


As an Advanced Practitioner certified through EFT International and EFT Universe, I use Clinical EFT to help clients safely release stress, anxiety, and emotional patterns stored in the body — supporting long-term regulation and emotional freedom, not just temporary relief.

Is this approach safe for someone with a trauma history?

Absolutely. My training specifically includes trauma-informed approaches and Inner Child Work. Clinical EFT is designed to be gentle and allows you to process difficult emotions at your own pace. You remain in complete control throughout our sessions, and we work within your window of tolerance to ensure you feel safe and supported.

What can I expect in a typical session?

Sessions are conducted in a safe, confidential space (virtually or in-person) where we'll identify specific emotional blocks or stressors you're experiencing. I'll guide you through gentle tapping sequences while we focus on these concerns. Most clients report feeling noticeably calmer and clearer by the end of our first session. Each session builds on the previous one to create lasting shifts.

How does Clinical EFT compare to traditional therapy, CBT, and life coaching?

Unlike talk therapy that works intellectually or generic life coaching, Clinical EFT works directly with your body's stress response system. There are 8 studies directly comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to Clinical EFT, and these show that Clinical EFT is either equivalent to or more effective than CBT. However, EFT achieves these similar results in significantly less time. This means you can experience meaningful change without the lengthy commitment traditional therapy often requires—perfect for busy women who need effective solutions that fit their lives.

Is this confidential? What are your professional boundaries?

Complete confidentiality is fundamental to my practice. What we discuss stays between us, following professional ethical standards. I maintain clear boundaries as a practitioner—I'm here to support your emotional well-being, not provide medical or psychological diagnosis. If deeper therapeutic work is needed, I'll help you find appropriate resources.

Do you offer virtual sessions, and how does that work?

Yes, I offer secure virtual sessions that are just as effective as in-person work. Clinical EFT translates beautifully to online sessions—you'll be in your own comfortable space, and I'll guide you through everything step by step. All you need is a quiet space and reliable internet connection.
