Emotional Regulation Support for Navigating Life Transitions
Hi, I’m Sarah Avilla, an EFT Tapping Practitioner and Integrative Health Coach, passionate about helping women build emotional resilience, self trust, and confidence in their ability to handle whatever comes their way.
Why Life Transitions Feel Harder When Your Nervous System Is Dysregulated
Life transitions require the brain to adapt, make decisions, and tolerate uncertainty. When the nervous system is regulated, the brain has the flexibility to do this. When it is dysregulated, the brain shifts into protection mode.
In this state, threat detection systems become more active. Change and uncertainty are more likely to be interpreted as risk. Emotional reactions happen faster, feel stronger, and are harder to manage. Decision making and self trust often decrease, even in the most confident people.
Transitions also activate past learning in the nervous system. If previous stress or overwhelm is stored in the system, similar changes can trigger automatic protective responses. The body reacts based on past experiences rather than present safety.
When the nervous system is supported and regulated, the brain can better assess what is happening now, respond with more flexibility, and move through change with greater steadiness and clarity.
Working together, I can help you to:
Calm your nervous system when you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or mentally overloaded
Reduce emotional reactions to everyday triggers like noise, mess, deadlines, or interruptions
Release work related stress and the constant pressure to perform, keep up, or do more
Move through self doubt and imposter syndrome during career changes, motherhood shifts, or personal pivots
Come out of shutdown, freeze, or numb states when everything feels like too much
Reduce burnout and chronic exhaustion by helping your body release stored stress
Stabilize your energy so you are not crashing as hard throughout the day
Feel steadier in your emotions instead of swinging between calm and overwhelm
Trust yourself more and feel more confident in how you respond to stress and challenges
How to Get Started Working Together
Step 1: Complimentary Intro Call
We start with a free call to see if this work feels like a good fit. You can share what you are experiencing and ask questions. There is no pressure or commitment.
Step 2: New Client Intake Session
We map the full picture: your nervous system patterns, what's depleting you, where overwhelm is coming from, and what support is missing. We create a personalized plan for what to focus on first.
Step 3: Ongoing 1:1 Sessions
From there, we work on one area at a time. Similiar to building muscles at the gym, our nervous system learns safety is the baseline over time.
In sessions, we use EFT tapping to help regulate emotions so you leave feeling more settled and steady in your body. We also look at what needs to shift outside of sessions, especially around nourishment and daily support, so your nervous system can stay more regulated over time.
What is EFT Tapping and how does it support your nervous system?
EFT Tapping is a gentle body based tool that helps your nervous system calm down and feel safer. When you go through stress, pressure, or big emotional experiences, your brain can learn to stay on high alert, even when nothing dangerous is happening.
This can cause strong emotions, quick reactions, or stress responses that feel hard to control. Your nervous system is reacting based on what it learned in the past, not what is happening right now.
Tapping on specific points on the body sends signals to the brain that you are safe in the present moment. This helps quiet the body’s alarm system and lowers stress hormones so your system can settle.
Over time, EFT tapping helps retrain the nervous system to respond differently. Emotions feel more manageable, reactions soften, and your body learns new ways to move through stress with more steadiness and ease.
