Emotional Freedom Technique is a wonderful tool for healing physical and emotional discomforts. The tagline for EFT is "try it on everything". Some of the issues with which I've used EFT: Crohn's disease, TMJ, arrhythmia, headaches, endometriosis, insomnia, couples counseling, PTSD, fear of spiders, weight loss, to stop smoking, stress reduction, in labor and childbirth, and self confidence.

Meditation to drop some of the squirrels running around in your mind & relax. The final two minutes of the meditation is music. Feel free to drop off an snooze anytime. :) #relax #meditate #energypsychology #tapping #feelsafe #youmatter #getsomesleep

Giving some love to the amazing people who help make our children's lives better. Our kids spend 6-8 hours a day with their teachers...and I know from my own childhood, that a caring teacher makes all the difference in the world. So, THANK YOU to the wonderful teachers who have stuck with our kids through Covid. You are a blessing. #teachersrock #weneedeachother #youmatter #educators #mentalhealth #gratitude
