In this episode, MommaFoxFire talks with Kathleen Weber about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) & Acupressure!

More about Kathleen: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/kathleen-weber Kathleen earned a Master of Education in Counselor Education from The University of Virginia and was a School Counselor for 25 years - working at all levels k-12 (mostly grades 5-8). In 2016, she was training for a triathlon and learned she could train her body to stretch past my mind’s limitations. In the midst of training, she began experiencing significant fatigue, odd body pains, and erratic body temperature. After being passed around from doctor-to-doctor for 9 months, Kathleen finally learned that she had Lyme Disease with a co-infection of Bartonella. She started working with a practitioner who used Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) to support the underlying emotional struggles that accompanied my chronic health issues. EFT involves tapping on acupressure points while bringing to mind something that has an emotional charge to it. She was able to heal things from her past she didn’t even realize were impacting her in the present moment.  Kathleen loved EFT so much that she became certified to bring the skills back to her students. Unfortunately, after being back in a school setting, she found that she kept relapsing. She shifted to being a full-time EFT practitioner. Kathleen supports educators who are experiencing burnout and trains educators on how to incorporate EFT into a school setting. This work is beautiful and completely aligned with her higher purpose! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommafoxfire/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommafoxfire/support
