You know it in your head.
You still feel it in your body.
- You've been to therapy. But you still get triggered.
- You feel so anxious. It's not rational, but you can't shake it off.
- The same relationship keeps hurting, and you keep reacting.
- Old memories still knock the wind out of you.
That's because the feeling lives deeper than knowing. EFT works right there.
Gentle and safe. And it works.
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. Painful emotions and beliefs (“I'm such a failure”) get stuck in the body and the subconscious mind. While you focus on a specific issue, we tap on acupressure points. That calms the nervous system and releases stuck energy so you can finally process those feelings and let them go.
It's very gentle. You don't need to relive a trauma in order to release it. But it isn't just a nice chat, either. We work on something specific, we check how strong it feels before and after, and you can feel the inner change for yourself.
Why EFT
Backed by research
EFT has been tested in many clinical trials with incredible results. It's often been found to be more effective than traditional therapy.
Results that last
We don't just manage the feeling, we go to the root of it. When an old hurt is truly released, it tends to stay released.
Gentle and safe
You stay in control the whole time. We work at your pace, and you never have to relive painful memories in detail to let them go.
Mind and body
Stress lives in the body too. Many clients find EFT transformative for their digestive issues, headaches or chronic pain.
Real words. Real shifts.
“There was a definite shift after that one session. I was relating to my children differently, and it was noticeable.”
“I've been in therapy most of my life, but this feels like real healing.”
“Chana is a natural therapist. She is so gentle and empathetic.”
“That was such a traumatic memory and now it's just faded away. How did you do it?!”
“I felt such a sense of relief after just one session. It was amazing to experience.”
“EFT is incredibly healing. For the first time in weeks – maybe months – I feel a deep sense of inner calm.”
“After a broken engagement, I couldn't move on. Now I feel light, hopeful and ready to face the future.”
“After a difficult pregnancy, I was weak and nauseous. EFT was a real savior - I've never felt this good for months!”
What we can work on
Emotional healing
Anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and social insecurities. EFT gently releases what you've been carrying.
Relationships
Marriage, family, in-laws, friendships. EFT frees you from your triggers so you can respond calmly instead of reacting.
Feeling stuck
Whether it's shidduchim, a career, or a goal you keep circling, we find what's holding you back and move past it.
Trauma and painful memories
Our bodies hold trauma, not just our brains. EFT is one of the most effective, gentlest ways to let traumatic memories go.
Habits and patterns
Obsessive thinking, emotional eating and other patterns that feel bigger than you.
…and anything else
If it's weighing on you, it's worth working on. Ask me in your free consultation.
Real sessions, real change
Hadassah and Ellie: see EFT in action
A frum therapist, for frum women
I'm a woman who deeply respects our shared values, whether about marriage, birth, children or Yiddishkeit. I care deeply about helping women release the internal blocks that keep them stuck, and I truly believe that our own inner healing is the greatest gift we can give, both to ourselves and to our families.
I'm also very practical. We don't just talk around what hurts. We find where it's stuck, we work on it together, and we release it, gently and safely. Almost everyone can already feel a shift in the very first session, and positive change follows quickly. Within a few sessions, my clients notice it at home: in how they react, how they sleep, and how they speak to themselves and their families.
I work with women and older girls, online or in person in Jerusalem. Everything you share stays completely confidential.
How a session works
We start with whatever is on your mind: a feeling, a memory, a relationship, a reaction you don't like. While you focus on it, you gently tap on a series of acupressure points on your face and upper body as I guide you. As the emotions are released, new insights and calm come up.
Who I work with
Frum women and older girls (not children). Most of my work is with emotional issues and relationships: anxiety, self-esteem, triggers, family and marriage, birth trauma, grief, weight loss and feeling stuck.
