💫 In simple terms… this is what I do.💫

A lot of lovely people follow my page without fully knowing what I actually do.
So here it is, simply and honestly.

💫I help people who feel overwhelmed —
nurses, doctors, students, parents, carers, teachers, people juggling work stress, family stress, life stress, or just… everything.

💫The ones who are carrying too much.
The ones who feel foggy, stuck, anxious, or unable to make decisions because their nervous system is running on empty.

💫And I support them through EFT — a gentle, powerful way to calm the nervous system and the body, settle the mind, and bring you back into yourself.

💫Why do I do this?
Because everyone deserves to feel lighter, calmer, and more in control of their day.
Because when overwhelm softens, clarity returns.
Because feeling better shouldn’t be a luxury.

💫Simple.
This is what I do.
I help people feel calmer, clearer, and more themselves again.

💫If you’re curious about working with me or want support with overwhelm, I’m here.

💥Cortisol, Stress & EFT. Why the Research Matters to Me as a Former Nurse💥

As someone who spent years nursing on busy wards, I’ve seen first‑hand what stress does to the body. I saw the exhaustion, the overwhelm, the emotional load. Now I understand that so much of what we were witnessing was linked to one powerful hormone: Cortisol 💥

✨️What Is Cortisol?

Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which sit just above your kidneys. It affects almost every organ system in the body, helping regulate:
- Stress response
- Blood sugar and metabolism
- Inflammation
- Blood pressure
- Sleep–wake cycles

✨️Where Is It Produced?

Cortisol is made in the adrenal cortex, triggered by the brain’s hypothalamus and pituitary gland — a communication loop known as the HPA axis.

💥Why Research Matters (and Why It Matters to Me)
As a former nurse,💥

✨E️vidence‑based practice is in my bones. I don’t share anything unless the research stacks up. When I first discovered EFT during my own burnout, I was curious — but it was the science that convinced me.

And the science is strong.

✨️How EFT Reduces Cortisol

Multiple studies show that EFT significantly lowers cortisol — often more than other stress‑reduction methods tested.

📉 Key research findings:

- A randomized controlled trial found that one hour of EFT reduced cortisol by 24%, compared with 14% from talk therapy or rest.
- A later study led by Dr. Peta Stapleton found an even greater reduction — a 43% drop in cortisol after a single EFT session.

✨️Why Does EFT Work

EFT combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with acknowledging how you feel. Research shows this process:
- Calms the amygdala (the brain’s alarm system)
- Reduces the fight‑or‑flight response
- Signals safety to the nervous system
- Lowers cortisol and emotional distress at the same time

✨️Why I Share This

I’ve lived both sides — the clinical world where stress is constant, and the wellbeing world where we finally have tools to regulate it. EFT isn’t fluffy. It’s not wishful thinking. It’s a research‑supported, physiologically measurable way to help the body come back into balance.

If you’re curious about how EFT can support your stress levels, emotional regulation, or exam‑season nerves, get in touch with me.

✨️Curious about what it’s like to work with me?
I offer online and face‑to‑face sessions, giving you the flexibility to choose what feels right for you.

✨️I’ve worked with clients internationally, so I’m used to navigating different time zones and finding a rhythm that fits comfortably around your life.

✨️Before we begin, you’ll receive a simple form and a welcome booklet so you feel informed and supported from the start.

✨️Our sessions are one hour, and I use EFT throughout our work together. My approach is intuitive — I listen closely, I tune into what you need, and I hold space for you with compassion, clarity, and zero judgement.

✨️EFT helps you gently release what’s sitting under the surface, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself in a grounded, empowering way.

✨️If you’re ready for a space where you can breathe, be honest, and feel truly heard, I’d love to support you.

✨ ️One of the things my clients love most about EFT is how portable it is.
Once you learn the basics, you can take tapping with you any place, any time, anywhere — no equipment, no special setup, no long routine needed.

Here are some of the ways people use EFT in everyday life:

✨ Finger tapping
A subtle version you can do in meetings, on the school run, or while waiting in the car. No one even notices — but your nervous system does.

✨ Imaginary tapping
If you can’t physically tap, your brain still responds to visualising the tapping points. It’s surprisingly effective and perfect for moments when you need calm without movement.

✨ A 5‑minute reset in the loo
Yes, really. Pop to the toilet, tap through a round or two, breathe, reset, and walk back out feeling grounded and clearer than before.

✨ On‑the‑go emotional first aid
Whether it’s overwhelm, frustration, anxiety, or spiralling thoughts, tapping helps bring your body back into safety so you can think straight again.

✨ A tool you keep for life
Once you’ve learned it, it’s yours. You don’t need me in the room with you — you can use it whenever you need support.

EFT isn’t just a session… it’s a skill you carry with you, ready to use whenever life gets loud.

If you’d like to learn how to use tapping confidently in your day‑to‑day life, I’d love to guide you.

When people come to me for support, they’re usually carrying a mix of things — stress, overwhelm, emotional habits, tired skin, low confidence, or that feeling of being stretched too thin. And over the years, I’ve learned something powerful 💥:

✨️Wellbeing isn’t one‑dimensional.
We feel better when we support both the inside and the outside.

✨️That’s why I blend EFT with Tropic’s ethical, skin‑friendly self‑care rituals. Together, they create a gentle, grounded approach that helps people feel calmer, clearer, and more themselves again.

✨ How EFT supports you:

- Calms the nervous system
- Reduces stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
- Helps break unhelpful emotional patterns
- Supports emotional regulation for adults, teens, and children
- Creates space to breathe, reset, and think clearly

✨ How Tropic 🌿 supports you:

- Nourishes and protects the skin with clean, ethical ingredients
- Encourages daily moments of self‑kindness
- Helps rebuild confidence from the outside in
- Turns skincare into a grounding ritual rather than a chore

When you put them together, something shifts.
You’re not just coping — you’re caring for yourself on every level.

If you’re curious about how EFT or Tropic could support you (or both together), I’m always happy to chat.

I had the privilege to work with this fabulous client. Who took the time to write a testimonial, which I am always to incredibly grateful for ❤️. Thank you .

This is another reason why I love my work.

I was initially diagnosed with throat cancer in mid September, and the scans I had were unable to ascertain where the primary cancer was located. It was decided to remove my tonsils,and i also had a TBM mucosectomy ( removal of tongue tissue. ) This was successful, the primary Cancer was found to be in my right tonsil. As you can imagine , this was extremely painful afterwards, i was kept in for two days, as the swelling in my throat meant I was unable to eat , and drinking was extremely difficult. A month after this , I was visiting the oncologist , I was offered the opportunity of a medical trial, using Proton Beam Therapy to treat my cancer. This would hopefully reduce acute effects both during and after treatment, and bearing in mind the issues after my tonsils were taken , I was fortunate to be accepted onto the trial. This meant relocating to Manchester for the duration of the treatment. I travelled up to Manchester in mid November to be fitted with the mask I was required to wear whilst undergoing the treatment. It was slightly uncomfortable at first , having a warm sheet of plastic mesh laid across my face,but the fitting of the mask went OK. Later that day I had to undergo an MRI scan, and all was well with the mask going on initially. By now the mask was cold , and quite firm around my throat, which stirred the memories of how uncomfortable and difficult things had been after having my tonsils out.All was OK, but as I was about to go into the machine for my scan, I managed to choke myself . As I was fixed to the bed in the mask, I felt quite a sense of panic through not being able to move, or breathe. The mask was quickly removed by the staff , but it took around 2 hours, some medication and lots of chat with a member of the Christie Hospital 'Calm team' before I could wear the mask long enough for the scan to take place. I guess they have a similar team at the NNUH, if not they should get one immediately.Peter was a very calming influence, helping with breathing, controlling swallowing , the power of positive thinking etc, but it was tapping with you that sorted the issues i had with the mask.

The chap from the staff at The Christie who was so helpful during this time, was Peter Vardy, and we struck up a good relationship, which helped through my treatment.

Back at home, during the wait to begin my treatment in Manchester, I began to feel very anxious at the prospect of wearing the mask every day for 6 1/2 weeks, and it was then I contacted Michelle for your details, as she mentioned you had helped her with her job as an Ambulance operator.

The hour or so I spent with you was one of the best things i've ever done,( ! ) I felt so calm about the prospect of wearing the mask, that on the first day I fell asleep during treatment ! , which I went on to do several times. Even if I tried to feel nervous or worried about it, I really just couldn't, it's impossible to describe what a massive help you were,
and the difference it made to how I felt about the whole experience.
