I want to share a little piece of my own shadow journey with you, because it’s the reason we are both here today.

For a long time, I struggled with severe chronic health issues. I was doing all the "right" things, working with the best health practitioners, but I kept hitting an invisible wall.

Until one day I realised that, deep down, I didn’t actually feel safe to get well, or to be seen. After a sexual assault when I was 18, a part of me had learned it was safer to stay small, hidden, even to manifest illness to keep myself isolated and away from a scary world.

So, digging into my arsenal of tools, I turned to EFT tapping. I had used it before here and there, but this time I really gave my time and presence to this one intense pain that I'd previously been too scared to look at.

And what happened was life changing... In just 15 minutes, the heaviness, the fear, the oppressive energy I’d been carrying for ten years… it dissolved. Something deep released.

I felt it in that moment... but I knew it later when I watched a scene on a TV show that would normally have triggered me, yet my body stayed calm and unaffected. For the first time, I felt light, grounded, and safe in my body.

7 years later, I’ve haven't stopped learning, researching, and training in both EFT and shadow work (now having created my Shadow Tapping™ method), and I’ve seen again and again how this combination of tools can open the door to freedom, empowerment, and self-healing.
