Hi, I'm Sarah, a somatic nervous system specialist,
and it is such a joy to have you here.
If you're holding a little one who feels everything so big, so fast, you already know how helpless it can feel to watch them struggle and not quite know how to help. Please know you are in good company. Children don't come with a manual for their nervous systems, and neither did we.
I really hope this guide gives you something simple and steady to reach for, a gentle way to help your child feel safe in their body again, one tap at a time.
With love,
Sarah x

Your tapping guide is right here
Guide To Tapping With Children - a gentle, age-by-age introduction to EFT tapping for babies, toddlers and children. Return to it whenever your little one needs help finding their way back to calm.
I'm really glad this found you. Soothing a dysregulated child while holding your own nervous system steady can feel like a lot but what you're experiencing makes complete sense, and you don't have to figure it out from a place of overwhelm.
This guide is your starting point. Keep it somewhere close, for the bedtime wind-downs, the big feelings, the moments that catch you both off guard. Tapping is a skill you grow into together, and it gets easier with practice. Let it be something playful, not something to perfect.
Tapping, also known as EFT, gently combines acupressure and psychology to calm the nervous system and soften big emotions. It's wonderfully simple, needs nothing but your hands, and can become a beautiful part of your family's rhythm.
Inside your guide you'll find:
- How to tap with babies (0 - 12 months) using soft, soothing touch
- The "Tap and Talk" method for little ones aged 1 – 10 in the heat of the moment
- A calming bedtime tapping ritual to help them drift off to sleep
- Gentle scripts for working through a specific upset, emotion, or worry
- A soothing sequence for fear and anxiety in children aged 5+
- Simple adaptations for children who don't love the sensory feel of tapping
There's no pressure to get it right. Children often giggle or find it strange at first, and that's completely normal. With a little consistency, this becomes something they reach for all on their own.
A gentle reminder: EFT is a beautiful support, but it isn't a replacement for medical care. If you ever feel your child needs a professional, please reach out for help.
Are You Ready To Create Lasting Change
As a mother who knew something had to change.
I was overwhelmed, constantly on edge, and reacting in ways I did not want to.
I loved my boys fiercely. And still I could hear the shortness in my voice, feel the tension in my shoulders, and lie awake at night wishing I had done the day differently.
No amount of trying harder made a difference.
What I did not know then was that these were not personal failings. They were nervous system patterns.
★
Does any of this sound familiar?
Do you feel like you are going around in circles, knowing something needs to shift but not knowing how?
Are you surviving each day rather than truly living it?
Do you shout and react because you are simply at your limit?
Does your child's behaviour leave you anxious and tense in public?
Do you freeze when they have big feelings, because nothing works no matter how calm you try to stay?
Do you go to bed guilty, promising yourself you will do better tomorrow?
Do you struggle to play and be present with your children?
Are you the mother who holds it all together in front of everyone, and then falls apart in the quiet moments no one sees?
I created the
Foundations of Regulation Program
for exactly this.
For parents with very little time but need big impact.
You will begin to understand what is happening inside your body and your nervous system, so that it stops feeling frightening and starts making sense.
You will have practical tools to turn to at any point in the day to bring your body back to calm.
You will fill your own cup and build your body's capacity.
Every practice in this Program can be used with your children too. But we put our own oxygen masks on first, because the calm you feel in your body ripples out to everyone around you.
★
Our children are always mirroring our nervous systems.
They read our tone, our pace, our tension, long before they understand our words.
When we soften, they soften. When we come home to ourselves, they feel it in their bodies too.
Every tool I share here has had a profound impact on my own family, and on the hundreds of women I have worked with over the years. Healing never happens in isolation. When one person in a family begins to regulate and feel safe in her own body, it changes the whole system.
That is the heart of this work.

Words from Jade who has walked this path
Where do I begin. Sarah is amazing and her course is life changing.
I reached out to Sarah because I was struggling to cope with certain things as a mum. I was a "shouty" mum at times and would often feel so guilty that I wasn't dealing with things very well. Little did I know, my nervous system was completely burnt out. I didn't even really know what my nervous system did.
The sessions were absolutely mind blowing. So many light bulb moments, and I could finally start to understand me, as a person. To say this has been life changing for me and my family would be an understatement. I can now apply the things I have learned with my children, who now have a mum who can be there for them in the best way possible.
This course should be mandatory, and I recommend it to everyone I talk to. Thank you Sarah, for giving me and my children the ability to look for the glimmers xx
