EFT is modern neuroscience in action: it combines acupressure with psychology, and it’s like a mental reset button for your brain and body.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a mind-body tool that helps you calm anxiety, release fear, and shift the thoughts that keep you stuck.
Most athletes train their bodies — but not their mindset. EFT helps you do both.

Used by athletes, coaches and therapists worldwide, EFT helps you: • Clear fear after a wipeout or injury • Stay calm under pressure • Build real confidence from the inside out • Reset your nervous system, fast

It’s simple, powerful, and backed by science. 
I use it to help surfers, athletes + everyday humans perform at their best — in the ocean, the ring, and in everyday life.

✨ Curious? Drop me a DM or Book a free intro call — I’d love to show you how it works. 🔗Link in bio to book!

The adventure that keeps giving.

1. Right before I sunburned my bum
2. The local family who we gave the kayak to, and who took me to the *wrong* island (photo credit to @tristanrid )
3. Very cool, but very wet boat ride
4. The deserted island we camped on, my last night with Team Kayak (photo credit to @tristanrid )
5. Kuna community boat outing
6. Ticantiqui village
7. Peaceful dusk moments
8. My camp spot, while I waited 3 days for a boat
9. This mural - this was the Kuna symbol and flag well before its appropriation by the nazis.
10. Me and Renato - this man was my guardian angel, and basically adopted me for my stay
11. Brothers with drones are useful after all @tristanrid

My unplanned solo adventure after I stopped kayaking is going to stay imprinted in my soul. It wasn’t the relaxing, easy island escape I thought I wanted, but wow. by @annaridley.uk

Injury, disappointment + an adventure I never planned for.

Wrist gave out on day 7.

Classic Island mix up = Ended up alone, no wifi, no English speakers, no tourism — on the wrong Isla de Diablo.

What followed was three of the most unexpected days of my life.

Gratitude to Renato, who adopted me for three days and was my actual hero 🖤

Putting EFT Tapping to the test in a big way. I’m going into this as a test of my resilience and my ability to stay regulated when I’m totally out of my depth — no experience, no guides, just a fearless big brother with a wild idea, me, and one other brave friend.

Follow along to see how tapping holds up when I’m being devoured by sandflies, utterly exhausted, and completely at my limit.

And for the Caribbean Island content ofc 🏝️
WISH ME LUCK, FOLKS!

I’m back! After taking an intentional pause, it’s nice to return to visibility.

And DO I HAVE THE MOST EXCITING THING COMING UP TO SHARE. Yes, yes I do.

Just you wait.

Why work with me? ⭐️
I’m not a pro surfer or elite athlete. I started learning surfing and Muay Thai as an adult, just like many of you. I’m not an expert — but I have been on a real journey with self-confidence and self-trust.

For years, my inner narrative was harsh and critical — constantly telling me I wasn’t good enough. But I’ve transformed that voice into a whole team of cheerleaders inside my mind, always encouraging and supporting me.

Sure, there are times to push yourself in sports — that’s part of the game. But you don’t have to be your own worst enemy - that’s not the best way to long term results.

That’s where EFT comes in. It’s a simple, powerful tool you can learn to use anytime, anywhere. EFT helps you regulate your nervous system, uncover what’s holding you back, and dissolve mental blocks and limiting fears.

It’s changed my life — and I’d love to show you how it can change yours, too ✨

Absolutely loved our Emotional Freedom Technique tapping workshop - so powerful. Can’t wait for @annaridley.uk to come back to Lagos 🙌 by @annaridley.uk

Somehow Martial arts has taken over my life, and yes, I use EFT to help me with my mindset, confidence and progression ALL THE TIME. Muay Thai is HARD. I am not naturally gifted at it, as I’m hilariously (it’s so not funny though) uncoordinated. It’s a challenge. Keeping going is a challenge. EFT keeps me on track. It helps clear out the self doubt, the inner critic, the voice that tries to tell me I can’t do this, that I look stupid, that I’m so bad at this.

Instead, I can use EFT to heal these parts of myself, and to go forward with confidence, self belief, and self trust.

I reprogrammed my nervous system freeze response and went from anxious and panicked when sparring, to (more) relaxed and having fun (mostly!).

I have to tap regularly to clear my frustration with my slow progress. It’s a whole learning, healing, self development journey.

I’m really fit and strong, but the biggest gains are in my mindset. It’s an inside job, as half of the story is happening inside your head.

I would not be doing this without EFT. I would have quit. I wouldn’t have been able to keep expanding my comfort zone.

What would you do if you weren’t scared to fail, or to even try?

(Special shout out to @_brunaxrs_ for being the best Muay Thai partner a girl could ask for 😘)

For anyone who needs a little self care atm I highly recommend Emotional Freedom Technique

⭐️ EFT Tapping Workshop with Anna
📆 Friday 30 May
🕰️ 11:00 - 12:30
🎟️ 22 euros pp

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), also known as ‘Tapping’, is a nervous system regulation tool. EFT can help with everything, from anxiety, burnout, and mindset blocks to severe trauma, chronic health issues and even sports performance.

It’s a body-mind self help method. It involves tapping gently with your fingertips on acupressure points on the face, hands and upper body while focusing on uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, emotions, or body sensations.

It gets astonishing results, often fast. It’s an evidence based method, with lots of scientific articles behind it.

In this workshop you’ll get to experience it for yourself, firsthand, and learn how to apply it to your life to help navigate those moments of overwhelm or crisis.

It’s simple, it’s accessible to everyone, and it works! Come and see for yourself!

Try these discreet tapping points on the fingers if you’re out and about but need to regulate yourself or calm your anxiety.

Sometimes overwhelming emotions or thoughts can come up when we’re not able to take ourselves off somewhere quiet and do some EFT Tapping right then and there.

So these finger tapping points are awesome for those moments - you’re in a public place (this was filmed in a coffee shop), you’re at work, you’re with other people.

Focus on whatever is bothering you, and tap through the finger points until you feel the intensity reduce.

Let me know how it goes!

The research is finally catching up with the evidence! We say EFT Tapping is evidence-based, as it clearly works.

Now there is clinical research showing the science behind it.

Massive props to @petastapleton for leading so much research and also helping compile so much research in one place: https://www.evidencebasedeft.com/research.

I LOVE getting into the science of how this works on our brain, body, and nervous system! Everyone is always so surprised when they feel how it works on them for the first time - it’s “just” tapping on your face and body, after all, which seems kinda weird..

Knowing the science-backed benefits is super cool!

Enjoy, my beauties 🌷
