When I was 15 years old, my battle with back problems began. I was in a lot of pain, struggling to keep up with volleyball and other sports. Everything hurt, even rolling over in bed. I was diagnosed with a Herniated Disk and Sciatica down my left leg. That year, I ended up having major back surgery. Everyone was telling me how young I was to have surgery — I was terrified. I was under the knife for 8 hours on my spine and on bed rest for 8 weeks.

Despite the surgery, my chronic back pain continued for 10 years, at times rendering me unable to get out of bed. Then, when I was 25 years old, my father-in-law gave me a book about The Mind-Body Connection and everything changed. I had thought that my back problems were from genetic abnormalities and injuries — physical things. I began to realize that there was a very real and palpable emotional component to my pain that I had never considered before. What a concept!

Fast forward through a few years of awkwardly trying to harness the mind-body connection to help me to heal my back (and whatever other pain du jour came my way). I searched high and low, trying everything I could find to help me on my journey. A lot of things worked a little bit. That was when I discovered EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) Tapping. This simple and effective tool gave me the key to heal my back. I tapped on my physical symptoms; I tapped on my stress, on my anxiety, on past traumatic events, on my genetic disposition to having a bad back (since my dad had a bad back, too), on the trauma of the surgery, on the lost decade of pain, and anything else that came up. It was tremendous! My back pain went away!

At that moment, I decided to dedicate my life to helping others with these powerful tools. I became a holistic healer and EFT Practitioner because it makes my heart sing to help others to free themselves from physical and emotional pain. My story is nothing short of a miracle.  Are you ready for yours?
