I’m Caroline Connor, a certified EFT practitioner based in Moorabbin, Melbourne. I work with clients in person and online across Australia and internationally. And one of the things I love most about EFT is this: once you learn it, it’s yours. You can use it yourself, anytime, anywhere — which means every session with me gives you a tool you’ll have for life.
EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), often simply called ‘tapping’, is a gentle, fast-acting technique that calms the nervous system and reduces emotional intensity — often within minutes.
It works by gently tapping on specific acupressure points on the face and body while focusing on whatever is bothering you — an emotion, a memory, a physical sensation, a situation. The tapping sends a calming signal to the brain’s stress response, reducing the charge around what you’re working on quickly and naturally.

You might recognise yourself in some of this:
After an EFT session, most clients describe feeling calmer, lighter, and more settled — often within the session itself. The emotional intensity that was present simply reduces.
EFT was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, drawing on earlier work in applied kinesiology and energy psychology. It combines two well-established principles:
Acupressure — the same meridian points used in acupuncture, stimulated by gentle fingertip tapping rather than needles.
Cognitive focus — while tapping, you give words to what you’re feeling. This keeps the mind engaged with the issue while the body simultaneously receives a calming signal through the tapping.
The combination interrupts the stress response in the body and brain — reducing the emotional charge around whatever you’re focusing on. Research has shown EFT can measurably lower cortisol (the body’s primary stress hormone) and reduce activity in the amygdala, the part of the brain that triggers the fight-or-flight response.
The result is that things which felt overwhelming, frightening, or unbearable begin to feel manageable — sometimes within minutes. And unlike many other approaches, you don’t need to go deeply into painful territory for the technique to work.
One of EFT’s most distinctive qualities is that you can learn to use it yourself. Once you know the basics, tapping becomes a tool you can use anytime — before a stressful conversation, in the middle of an anxious moment, or whenever you need to bring yourself back to calm
EFT works for a wide range of people — and you don’t need a diagnosis or a history of therapy to benefit from it. If something in your emotional or physical experience isn’t feeling the way you’d like it to, that’s enough of a reason to explore it.
It works particularly well for:
We start with what’s present
We begin by identifying what you’d like to work on — an emotion, a specific situation, a physical sensation, or a recurring pattern. You don’t need to have it perfectly articulated. ‘I’ve been feeling anxious’ or ‘I can’t stop thinking about something that happened’ is enough to start.
We tap through it together
I’ll guide you through a sequence of tapping points while you focus on whatever we’re working with. I’ll suggest language to use — phrases that give voice to what you’re feeling — and we’ll move through the points gently and at your pace.
Most people find the tapping itself surprisingly calming, even before we’ve finished a full round. The emotional intensity usually begins to reduce quite quickly.
We check in and continue
After each round, we pause and notice what’s shifted. Sometimes the same feeling reduces further. Sometimes a different layer emerges. We follow what’s there rather than following a fixed plan, which is why sessions feel tailored and responsive rather than formulaic.
You leave with something you can use
At the end of the session, you’ll understand the tapping points and the basic process well enough to use EFT yourself. This is one of the most distinctive things about tapping — it gives you a practical, self-administered tool you can use whenever you need it.
Sessions are 60 minutes. You don’t need to prepare anything. Just come as you are.

“I have struggled with social and performance anxiety for years and found traditional talk therapy and CBT not particularly helpful. The work I did with Caroline allowed me to address the root cause of my anxiety at a much deeper level. I very recently competed in a singing competition — panic did not even cross my mind and I was able to simply focus on singing and performing my best. I got into the finals!”
“After 1 session with Caroline she helped me overcome the grief I felt from being bullied 8 years ago. Now when I think of that person I no longer get upset but feel nothing. I would totally recommend her.”
“I found Caroline very personable and the technique she uses, although quite unique, has been most effective in controlling my anxiety and regaining my perspective on the everyday stresses. My experience has been transforming, thank you so much Caroline for giving me my life back.”
I’m an EFT practitioner with 12 years of professional practice and 30 years of personal healing experience. EFT is a method I’ve used in my own life as well as with hundreds of clients — I know from the inside how quickly it can shift something that has felt immovable.
I’m deeply attuned to how emotional pain lives in the body. My sessions move at the pace of your nervous system — never rushed, never pushed, always with your safety and comfort as the priority.
Where EFT alone isn’t enough, I blend it with other subconscious tools — including The MAP Method™, PSYCH-K®, and Hypnotherapy — so your healing is supported on every level. I follow what your system needs in the moment rather than sticking to a fixed method regardless of what’s coming up.
When your emotions feel like too much, you don’t need to shut them down. You just need the right way to meet them. That’s what I’m here to help you find.

Yes — more so than many people realise. EFT has been the subject of over 100 clinical trials and is recognised by a number of health bodies internationally. Research has shown it can measurably reduce cortisol levels, lower amygdala activity (the brain's threat-response centre), and produce significant improvements in anxiety, PTSD, phobias, and chronic pain. It is listed by SAMHSA (the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) as an evidence-based practice.
Yes — tapping is something you do on your own body, guided by Caroline. You'll tap on specific points on your face and upper body using your own fingertips. It's gentle and non-invasive, and most people find it surprisingly natural after the first round or two. You can also do it in online sessions, which works just as effectively.
One of EFT's most notable qualities is how quickly it can reduce emotional intensity — often within a single session, and sometimes within minutes. That said, deeper patterns and longstanding issues may benefit from multiple sessions to work through different layers. Caroline will give you an honest sense of what to expect after your first session.
Yes — and this is one of EFT's greatest strengths. Once you learn the tapping points and the basic process in session with Caroline, you have a tool you can use yourself anytime: before a stressful event, during an anxious moment, or as a daily practice for emotional regulation. Caroline will teach you how to use it effectively for self-care between sessions.
They share the same underlying principle — stimulating specific meridian points to influence the body's energy and stress response. But EFT uses gentle fingertip tapping rather than needles, and combines the physical tapping with focused cognitive attention on what you're feeling. It's non-invasive, requires no equipment, and can be done anywhere.
Yes — EFT works just as well online as in person. You'll tap on your own body while Caroline guides you through the process via Zoom. Many clients actually prefer online sessions because they can tap in the comfort and privacy of their own home. Caroline works with clients across Australia and internationally online.
