Hi, I’m Rachel — founder of Wisdom of Tapping & Breath.

When I think about why I do this work, my mind goes back to my mom. In the photo I share here, you’ll see the two of us. She’s smiling, but she’s also carrying so much — not just weight, but years of struggle with food, cravings, and shame.

As her daughter, I didn’t just see it, I felt it. Every sigh, every moment of frustration, every late-night trip to the kitchen… the emotional current of her battle ran through our whole house.

Quiet the cravings. Calm the chaos. Reclaim your body story.

Long before I had words for it, my body absorbed her dysregulation. I didn’t know what nervous system regulation was back then, but I knew what it felt like to live without it.

That’s why this work matters so much to me. I don’t want anyone else to spend decades caught in that cycle of stress, shame, and self-blame without tools to regulate, release, and heal.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked in bodywork and healing. Over the last 8, I’ve specialized in fascia — the web-like tissue that holds tension and memory. Fascia is like a spider web: when one part gets tangled, the whole system feels it. And again and again, my clients — women just like you — would confide in me about the guilt, frustration, and body shame they carried.

That’s when I knew: physical work alone wasn’t enough. We need tools to untangle the emotional webs too.

That’s where Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT, or tapping) entered my life — and changed everything. I became a certified EFT practitioner, grounding my work in the powerful research of Dr. Peta Stapleton. Her studies in Weight Management Psychology show that tapping reduces cravings, eases emotional eating, and helps us finally find safety in our bodies. I give her full credit for this evidence-based foundation.

Now, my work is about weaving all of this together — nervous system safety, fascia-informed awareness, and EFT — into a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is curious, candid, and kind — an invitation to explore your body story, tell the truth about what you’ve carried, and meet yourself with compassion.

Where We’re Going Together

I’m developing new programs to guide you step by step into food freedom and body confidence. These resources are coming soon, and they’re built to give you tools I wish I’d had decades ago.

In the meantime, I offer private 1:1 EFT sessions. This is where we work with the deeper “times when” — those stored emotions your body has been carrying — so you can finally feel the relief of letting them go.

You deserve safety. You deserve to feel seen. And you deserve to come home to yourself.

I am a Certified, Accredited and Trauma Informed EFT Practitioner, graduate of the EFT Tapping Training Institute.
