Multifaceted. Grounded. Strong.
Hi, I’m Jamie. My passion is to empower my clients to be their best and most joyful version of themselves. I’ve been in healing and wellness for over 20 years teaching Yoga, Pilates, Sound Healings and Meditation. I am fascinated by the resiliency of our minds and bodies and the capacity they have for healing.
I first encountered tapping when I was searching for a way to heal my fear of flying. I came across a story of a woman who healed her fear of flying using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and was shocked that it seemingly took her only one session with a practitioner to get her on a plane without having a panic attack, and with just a few more she was flying with ease. Curious to try it for myself, I found a few online tapping videos that were geared toward flying anxiety and was amazed at how quickly they helped me as well. After years of tapping as part of my self care, I studied the Gala Darling Method and became a practitioner so I could use this incredible tool to help others.
So, what is EFT? Emotional Freedom Techniques which is also known as “tapping” is a self-applied stress reduction technique to stimulate acupuncture points while focusing on a negative emotion at hand. This can be fear, anxiety, grief, a traumatic memory, a limiting belief pattern, physical ailments, a relationship problem, a habit you would like to change- really anything that is bothering you. Using two fingers to tap on the acupuncture points while you think about what is causing you stress sends a calming signal to the brain and helps your mind understand that you are not in any physical danger and it is safe to relax. When we do this, we rewire our brain to take us out of a stress response around the emotion or problem, which opens a pathway to heal it. Once we can relax the nervous system, we are able to tap through acceptance of the issue, solutions for change, reframing perspective and positive affirmations. The best part about tapping is it is not only extremely effective, but it works FAST. The tapping process eliminates pathways of negative association which then leaves space to create new and more positive associations.
What you can expect working with me: I’m direct, I feel what it is that you most need in the moment and help guide you there while respecting your boundaries and comfort level. It is my sole intention that you leave the session feeling better and more empowered than when you walked in.
