From Surviving to Thriving: One Mum’s Journey with EFT Tapping

Behind many smiling faces in our community are women quietly carrying a heavy mental load. The constant juggle of motherhood, relationships, work, and everyday life can feel overwhelming at times.

For local mum Paris, that weight had been building for years, until she decided it was time to do something different.

Paris first connected with me at Divine EFT after attending a one-day Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping workshop. What started as curiosity quickly became a commitment to her own healing. After the workshop, Paris chose to continue with one-on-one sessions and later returned to deepen her skills through the Calm, Coffee & Connect women’s program.

“Tapping genuinely saved my relationship,” Paris shares.

“I realised I couldn’t change what had happened in the past, but EFT Tapping helped me regulate my emotions and take the heat out of old memories and situations. I could finally show up as the best version of myself.”

Like many mums, Paris describes the mental load of motherhood as constant and consuming.

“It takes up so much bandwidth,” she explains. “Having a variety of tools, especially EFT, has made such a difference. These are things I can use anytime, independently, in real life.”

Today, Paris says she’s thriving, not just surviving. While life still has its ups and downs, she now feels equipped when challenges arise.

“I know how to tap, regulate myself and move through hard moments instead of getting stuck in them.”

One of the most meaningful shifts for Paris has been breaking the trauma cycle within her family. Through her own healing journey, she’s creating a different emotional legacy for her daughter. Her little one even has a Divine EFT Tapping Teddy, learning these calming tools from an early age with a mum who feels confident supporting her.

Today, Paris continues to use EFT in her daily life. She has prioritised her wellbeing, reduced stress and illness in her body, restored important family relationships, and reclaimed a sense of calm, confidence and control.

Her journey is a beautiful reminder that healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, and when mums take care of themselves, the ripple effect touches the entire family.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or carrying the mental load of life, you’re not alone. EFT Tapping offers gentle, practical tools to help calm the nervous system, process emotions and support lasting change.

Thank you Paris for allowing me to share your story!
