Healing Your Fertility with EFT Tapping: Calm Your Nervous System + Release Stress

Hey beauty 💛

Today we’re diving into one of my ride-or-die tools for calm, clarity, and fertility flow: EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) — a.k.a. emotional acupuncture. It looks a little woo, feels a little weird at first… and it works. This is the tool that helped me through anxious seasons, postpartum chaos, and those fun moments when Jack’s melting down and I'm just in crazy overwhelm. If your nervous system has been living in Stress City, this one’s for you.

And here’s why this convo matters for you. If your body doesn’t feel safe, it won’t prioritise conception. Nervous system regulation is the foundation that makes your nutrition, supplements, cycle tracking, and even IVF actually land. EFT is one of the fastest ways I know to send your body the “you’re safe now” signal.

Inside this ep, we cover:

• What EFT actually is and why I call it “emotional acupuncture”
• The tapping points and a simple step-by-step so you can start today
• How to use EFT for fertility anxiety, IVF stress, fear of miscarriage, cravings, pain and sleep
• The before-and-after check-in that shows your progress in real time
• Client stories, my first experience with tapping, and why I still work with an EFT practitioner for deeper layers

✨ Why this matters for fertility

When your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight, cortisol steals from your sex hormones and your body hits pause on reproduction. EFT calms the amygdala, lowers cortisol, and helps you shift into rest-digest-reproduce mode. Translation: better ovulation, steadier cycles, deeper sleep, happier digestion… and a body that feels safe to conceive.
