EFT is a fantastic self help tool with ever growing credibility due to positive results from scientific studies. It is not a substitution for seeking professional advice. If you are concerned about your physical or mental health please consult a qualified medical professional. If you would prefer to explore EFT with a qualified practitioner, get in touch and I’ll share some options.Meet your host Jennifer McCanna:Jennifer McCanna has been coaching leaders in organisations around the world since 2011.

Her favourite things to talk about are the fact that peri-menopause actually starts much younger than many people think, so raising awareness of all the symptoms and what they look like. (Fun fact, there are over 30 symptoms, so not just your hot flushes and no periods!) The therapy side of things focuses on reducing stress, anxiety, malaise and exhaustion that can come with all your symptoms. Like Jen, Louisa specialises in Emotional Freedom Technique (or tapping), which reduces stress up to 40% - so instead of all the 'advice' about reducing stress, and leaving women even more stressed not knowing how to reduce it, she actually helps them do it. It's the most remarkable technique (which you can experience using the link in these show notes!) Connect with Louisa:Website: www.louisahussey.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisahussey/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louisahusseymenopause/ Don’t forget to follow this podcast so you don’t miss an episode.Produced by winteraudio.co.uk
