You may have noticed a theme in the types of topics I cover in the podcast and this is exploring our emotions.
In this week's episode, we will be talking about Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which I used at a time in my life when I was experiencing anxiety.
I had just got promoted when I started experiencing anxiety every time I left home to go to work. There would be a tight knot in my tummy and traveling on crowded trains was the worst. I often felt like I was going to pass out and had to make sure I stood or sat next to the exit.
Someone I spoke to at the time suggested I explore using EFT to help me manage the anxiety. I simply searched YouTube for EFT sessions and in particular for anxiety. Over a period of time, I noticed a gradual improvement in how I was feeling.
My guest this week is an EFT Practitioner who shares her knowledge of the technique.
About
Karen is a Health Coach and EFT Practitioner and is based in London. She comes from a creative background as a professional dancer.
With her passion for movement and fascination with the never-ending possibilities of the human body, her focus eventually shifted to helping women achieve a healthier body and one that they feel good in, so she started working as a strength and conditioning trainer and studied clinical nutrition.
After a few years, Karen realised that the people who actually maintained their lifestyle changes after the initial 3 to 6 months were the ones that also changed the way they looked at their body and health, and were confident in the possibility of success - whatever that meant to them.
That is why she decided to study different techniques that can help performance, behavioural change and mindset, and clear the negative emotions that hold a person back or sabotage one’s progress.
This translates into her work with clients as a style that combines education and coaching which allows clients to apply what they learn and find solutions that fit into their lives, forever.
Karen works mainly with women, guiding them through plans that improve their physical and mental health, and specialise in anti-ageing lifestyle modifications and EFT for stress management, body image issues and relationships.
