Reset Through Movement and Breath
What is Tapping? EFT, or “tapping,” gently bridges the mind and body to calm the nervous system in real time. When you tap on specific acupressure points, you send a safety signal to the amygdala - the part of your brain that triggers stress and anxiety. This signal helps lower cortisol levels, quiet racing thoughts, and restore a sense of balance. Research shared by experts like Dr. Dawson Church and Dr. Peta Stapleton shows measurable drops in stress hormones and increases in emotional clarity after just a few minutes of tapping. It’s a simple practice that helps the body feel safe again - turning down the volume on survival mode so your logical, creative self can lead.
