Calm your nervous system.
Clear your mind.
Move forward.
If stress, anxiety, grief, or “too much at once” has been running your life, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) helps your nervous system settle so you can think, feel, and function again.
This is for you if you want real relief without forcing positivity, overanalyzing, or white-knuckling your way through.
"I wasn’t expecting such dramatic results after just one session."

What is EFT — and why it can help.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called “tapping”, is a clinically researched mind-body method that helps release stress. It combines acupressure with elements of exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy — helping rewire the body’s stress response. EFT uses gentle fingertip tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on a memory, emotion, or belief you want to shift.
EFT IS:
A practical, body-led tool for regulating the nervous system
A way to reduce the “charge” around memories, triggers, or ongoing pressure
A skill you can use between sessions when life is loud
EFT is a strong fit if you:
Are a high-functioning person who feels maxed out inside — even if you look “fine” on the outside
Are navigating health-related stress (chronic illness, diagnosis uncertainty, recovery)
Are carrying grief or anticipatory grief (end-of-life, caregiving, major life transitions)
Want practical tools — not endless processing or talk therapy loops
What you can bring to an EFT session.
Bring the thing you cannot “talk yourself out of”:
Stress and anxiety that won’t shut off
Grief, loss, heartbreak, or regret
Fear and uncertainty around a diagnosis
Caregiver fatigue and emotional overload
Panic, dread, intrusive thoughts
Emotional eating, cravings, or compulsive habits tied to pressure
A trigger you “understand,” but your body still reacts to
A note for anyone who’s felt hesitant about emotional work
If you’ve avoided emotional work because it felt vague, overly “soft,” or unstructured, EFT often lands differently.
It’s direct, practical, and results-focused — working with the body and nervous system, not just insight alone.
Backed by science.
Proven in practice.

“I wasn’t expecting such dramatic results… after just ONE session. I had been struggling with an emotional blockage. Edie made me feel seen, heard, and completely supported — with zero judgment. I was able to let go of negative feelings and finally understood why I was struggling. I’ve recommended Edie to several people, and I’ve seen the shift in their well-being.”

Meet Edie Feffer.
I came to this work through lived experience: a season of profound loss that left me unable to sleep, with no appetite, and a nervous system that would not settle just because my mind understood what was happening.
Talk therapy helped me make sense of the grief, but EFT was the first thing that helped me get up, get going, and reengage with life in a way that felt meaningful and exciting again.
Today I help clients do the same: regulate stress, move through grief and health overwhelm, and build emotional steadiness they can access in real time.
If you’re ready for support that works with your body (not just your thoughts), book a free consult.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
It depends on the issue and how deeply it’s rooted.
Some concerns shift significantly in just a few sessions — occasionally even one. Others, especially long-standing trauma or layered stress patterns, benefit from a short series.
My goal isn’t to keep you coming back indefinitely. It’s to help you clear the emotional charge around a specific issue so you feel true relief and self-trust moving forward.
Some clients book single sessions as needed. Others prefer a package for more spacious, comprehensive work.
-
I get it. Tapping looks a little unusual at first.
EFT is a structured method that combines elements of cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, and acupressure. Research has shown significant reductions in anxiety, stress, cortisol levels, and burnout symptoms after EFT sessions.
You don’t have to believe in it for it to work.
If you’re curious but unsure, I encourage you to book an intro package and let your nervous system decide. The shift is something you feel — not something you have to be convinced of.
-
No. This is one of the reasons I love EFT.
You are never required to share details you don’t want to share. I’m trained in multiple trauma-informed techniques (including approaches where you can work silently or without disclosing specifics).
We move at the pace of your body. EFT is a way to safely process and integrate trauma without overwhelming the nervous system.
-
In-person sessions (home, office, or hospital settings) are limited and scheduled by request following a consultation.
In-person rate: $250 per session
(Travel considerations may apply depending on location.)Most clients work with me virtually and experience powerful results, but I’m happy to discuss in-person options if it feels supportive for your situation.

I completed a private three-year 1:1 mentorship with a Progressive EFT Master.
I am currently completing my Clinical EFT Certification through EFT Universe — the largest and most research-driven EFT certification program in the field — with graduation expected May 2026. My training includes advanced, trauma-informed applications of EFT.
In addition to my EFT training, I am a certified health coach with extensive experience supporting clients through chronic health stress, medical uncertainty, grief, and nervous system dysregulation. My work integrates evidence-informed practice with deep respect for the body’s pace.

Your brain does not distinguish well between an actual threat and a perceived one. A difficult conversation, a medical diagnosis, or even a stressful email can activate the same stress response as physical danger.
When that happens, the body shifts into fight, flight, or freeze. Stress hormones rise. The nervous system tightens.
EFT works by gently bringing attention to the trigger (a thought, memory, fear, or belief) while tapping on specific acupressure points. This pairing of exposure with calming somatic input sends a signal of safety to the brain.
Through EFT, the brain updates the association.
The trigger is remembered — but no longer felt as dangerous.
This process supports emotional regulation, memory reconsolidation, and the integration of earlier experiences that may have shaped core beliefs, many of which were formed in early childhood.
Rather than reliving the past, EFT helps the nervous system safely process and integrate what once felt overwhelming.
-
Because healing requires honesty.
We live in a culture that pushes positivity and performance. But unprocessed emotions don’t disappear — they get stored. They can show up as anxiety, reactivity, chronic stress, or even physical symptoms.
EFT begins by acknowledging what’s actually there: fear, anger, grief, shame, doubt.
When an emotion is fully seen and processed, the nervous system no longer has to hold it in the same way. From that grounded place, new perspectives and beliefs emerge naturally. The shift isn’t forced — it’s integrated. And that’s why it lasts.
