Sarah Avilla Coach

Reduce Stress. Work Through Internal Blocks. Move Toward Your Goals.

I help high-performing individuals regulate stress, work through limiting beliefs, and expand their capacity for growth using EFT Tapping and neuroscience based coaching.

This work helps you change how your brain and body respond to stress and pressure so clarity, confidence, and forward movement become easier and more sustainable.

What is EFT Tapping?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), or tapping, is a neuroscience-informed stress reduction technique that combines focused conversation with gentle tapping on acupressure points. While you talk through a challenge, the tapping helps calm the stress response in real time. This allows the brain to process emotions and update patterns that normally keep you stuck. Instead of only analyzing problems, we work directly with the nervous system responses underneath them.

You already know what you need to do.

The challenge isn’t knowledge. It’s internal resistance.

Stress patterns, past experiences, and conditioned beliefs can keep the nervous system in protection mode, which shows up as:

  • overthinking or hesitation

  • burnout cycles

  • self-doubt or perfectionism

  • difficulty following through

  • feeling stuck despite effort

EFT helps reduce the emotional and physiological charge behind these patterns so change becomes possible without forcing it.

What we Work on Together

Clients commonly use this work to:

  • move through limiting beliefs

  • reduce stress and prevent burnout

  • improve confidence and decision-making

  • navigate career and life transitions

  • pursue meaningful goals with less internal resistance

  • regulate emotions under pressure

  • maintain resilience during hormonal or life transitions

“I work in a high pressure, very visible role within the higher education industry. I am responsible for a large team, lead both strategic and operational efforts, and advise one of the senior-most leaders at the institution. The work is stressful, requires long hours, and there is a lot of anxiety and pressure. The EFT Tapping work that I’ve done with Sarah has supported me mentally, physically, at home, in all of my relationships, and of course at work. Despite it being demanding, I love my career, and EFT has become an important tool that helps me to show up for myself and my team in pursuit of our shared goals and mission.”
