In this episode of the Unboxable Podcast, I am joined by Jessica Read, an advanced EFT practitioner and hypnotherapist. We discuss Jessica's journey through anxiety, PTSD, and chronic stress, leading her to holistic wellbeing. Jessica explains EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and its powerful impact on stress, anxiety, PTSD, and personal development.

We also delve into the importance of addressing trauma somatically and spiritually, and how finding the right healing modality, whether EFT, hypnotherapy, or traditional talk therapy, can profoundly transform one's life. The conversation is enriched with personal anecdotes and professional insights, emphasising the importance of choosing to heal when you are ready and willing.

Jessica Read is - in her own words - an EFT practitioner | hypnotherapist | 6/3 Mani-Gen | Visionary.

"In 2017, I hit rock bottom. Overworking, unresolved trauma, and self-doubt left me battling anxiety, burnout, and panic attacks daily. Through emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and aligned growth, I rebuilt myself and my business.

Now, as an intuitive business mentor with 17+ years of entrepreneurial experience, I guide women to create success that's not just scalable - but emotionally sustainable. We blend:
- Deep healing
- Energetic alignment and
- Strategy that actually fits your life, your cycle, and your soul."
