Rachel’s Story

Rachel, a 42-year-old high-achieving teacher and mother of two, had been struggling with chronic stress and burnout for years. Juggling work commitments, and trying to stay present for her family, she often felt like she was teetering on the edge of exhaustion. Recently diagnosed as autistic, Rachel had always seen herself as quirky, someone who approached life a little differently. The breaking point came one day when she forgot to pick up her youngest from soccer practice—something she had never done before. Despite previous attempts at self-care and therapy, Rachel couldn’t shake the constant sense of overwhelm.

During our time together, we worked on integrating EFT Tapping and mindfulness into her daily routine—small, manageable steps that fit into her packed schedule. Rachel found that these techniques helped her let go of the emotional burden she’d been carrying for years, without needing to completely overhaul her lifestyle. Through our sessions, she learned how to set healthier boundaries, say no without guilt, and prioritise her needs without sacrificing her role as a mother and teacher.

Now, Rachel says she feels like a completely different person—calm, centred, and more in control of her life. She's not only managing her responsibilities better but also rediscovering joys she'd missed, like weekend hikes and baking with her kids.
