Hey, I’m Kirstie.

I’m an EFT Practitioner, mom of two, and the heart behind The Tapping Mama.

For a long time, I was just trying to get through the day.

I was stuck in reaction mode—snapping at my kids, feeling disconnected from my husband, and then drowning in guilt by the end of the night.

I told myself I just needed to “be more patient” or “try harder,” but no matter how much I pushed, I still felt exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in the same patterns.

I was living in survival mode.

I didn’t have the capacity to pause or breathe or choose a different way—because my nervous system was running the show.

I was bouncing between fight, flight, or freeze, stuck in old patterns I didn’t even realize were ruling my life.

Snapping over little things that weren’t really about the little things.

Feeling overstimulated, restless, and like I had to control everything just to feel okay.

Shutting down, pulling away, and feeling numb when it all got too much.

I thought this was just how I was wired.
That I would always feel like this.

Then I found EFT tapping.

Not in a “this fixed everything instantly” kind of way, but in a “oh… this is showing me another way” kind of way.


Little by little, it gave me a way to release what was stuck inside me—the tension, the guilt, the control. It helped me actually see my patterns and emotions instead of just being run by them.

  • I stopped yelling as much.

  • The guilt didn’t linger for days.

  • I softened—toward my husband, my kids, and myself.

  • I started feeling safe enough in my own body to actually be here, to connect, to stay in the present.

And honestly? I still get stuck sometimes. I still shut down. I still catch myself falling into old patterns.

But the difference is, now I have the tools to move through it instead of staying there.

That’s why I do this work—because I know what it’s like to feel trapped in cycles you don’t know how to break.

And I also know there’s another way.

Not by forcing yourself to “be better” or just “stay calm” (because let’s be real, if that worked, we’d all be fine).

But by:

  • understanding your nervous system

  • untangling what’s running the show

  • giving yourself the tools to actually feel safe enough to live, connect, and breathe again

Motherhood wasn’t meant to feel this heavy. You don’t have to stay stuck here.

And when you’re ready, I’d love to show you what’s possible.
