Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting? Imagine if there was a simple, accessible technique that could help you navigate these emotions and even transform them into empowerment. Today, I have the pleasure of hosting April Fors Johnson, a postpartum doula and certified EFT tapping practitioner. She shares her journey into birthwork and reveals how she discovered the power of tapping, a technique that marries psychology and acupressure to help process emotions and trauma.

April discusses the adaptability and potential benefits of tapping for birth trauma and the regulation of a child's emotions. As a belly bind specialist, she opens up about the versatility of tapping, particularly for new mothers wrestling with the challenges of postpartum. Whether you're interested in virtual sessions or want to learn more about belly binding, this conversation is your guide to redefining your approach to pregnancy and parenthood. Let's revolutionize the way we handle our emotions, one tap at a time.

In this episode, you will hear:

• EFT tapping and its application in pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
• The use of EFT tapping as a psychological tool and acupressure method to process emotions and traumas.
