The Science & Somatics

What is Intention Tapping?

A Somatic Approach

Intention Tapping* is a gentle, body-based practice that helps reduce and release the emotional charge attached to distressing thoughts, memories, and experiences. Rather than argue with reality or replace negative thoughts with positive ones, tapping allows us to acknowledge what we genuinely feel while soothing the subconscious parts of the brain that do not respond to logic alone.

* Also known as Intention-based Energy Process (IEP), developed by Steve Wells, an international leadership coach and peak performance consultant based in Perth, Western Australia.

Nervous System Regulation

By tapping on specific acupressure points while holding an intention or focus, we send calming signals to the brain's threat center, the amygdala. This dual approach—pairing gentle cognitive awareness with somatic self-soothing—releases stored tension in the body, regulates the autonomic nervous system, and shifts us out of survival mode into grounded, resourceful states.

Working with a Practitioner

The Power of Co-Regulation

While tapping is a wonderful self-regulation tool for daily practice, working with a certified practitioner helps illuminate unconscious patterns and blind spots that are difficult to access on our own.

Persistent feelings of inadequacy, self-criticism, over-accommodating others, chronic immobilization, or over-functioning are often signals of unresolved experiences. A practitioner provides co-regulation, helping you safely navigate deeper layers of emotional attachment and conditioning.

My Approach

My focus is on helping you break free from inherited family patterns, release outdated self-narratives, and understand the vital role the nervous system plays in your well-being.

“A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It is not our thoughts but the attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering.”

About Me

Growing up highly sensitive in a volatile, unpredictable environment shaped my nervous system into hypervigilance. My parents carried unhealed trauma from war, poverty, loss, and cultural expectations. Viewing the world as an unsafe place, I learned to prioritize their emotional needs over my own.

From my late teens onward, I devoured books on self-healing, seeking to understand my struggles with disordered eating, unhealthy relationships, and the impacts of social rejection in my adolescent years. I tried various therapies for chronic back pain, finding little to no relief. While a quiet part of me knew there had to be a better way to live, functioning this way had simply become my normal.

Over the years, many areas of my life improved. I stopped binge-eating, attracted healthier relationships and nurtured a grounded sense of self. In 2021, I discovered EFT. Through my training, I realized how deeply my early environment had shaped my world, and how those unresolved patterns could be carried over to my sons. I committed to a deeper level of healing, untangling inherited family conditioning, and focusing on nervous system regulation and embodiment.

I found Intention Tapping in 2024 and knew it was the modality I wanted to share. I learned that releasing our subconscious emotional attachments is key to shifting out of old protective patterns. Intention Tapping is an intuitive, fluid process that allows us to access answers from the core of our Being. It has brought more inner peace, clarity, and balance into my life.
