Healing Through EFT Tapping and Starting Your Own Body Bank Account

In this episode of the Becoming You podcast, I welcome fitness and EFT tapping coach Jennifer Dadigan. She and her husband Dre are the co-owners of MOC Fitness based in Portland, Oregon.

What’s your personal and professional background?

Jennifer: I live in Portland, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest with my blended family. My family is all about health and fitness. We’re a body-mind-spirit-centered family. My husband Dre is also in the fitness industry and we are very much in alignment when it comes to both our goals and our values. We co-own MOC Fitness. I used to be a massage therapist before getting into the fitness industry, and my latest passion is EFT tapping. As we grow and change in different phases of our life, we learn many different things along the way. Early on, I only wanted to learn and do “the next best thing”. I loved working with people through their bodies so I dabbled in everything in that space. Now that I’m in my 40s, I’ve come to love working with people’s minds and building connections with them. In fact, the whole person interests me now. I realized that I’ve always been doing the same thing throughout my career, and the undercurrent of it all—my life’s purpose—is connecting with people.

What is EFT tapping?

Jennifer: EFT is an acronym for “Emotional Freedom Techniques” and is also known as “tapping”. It’s derived from an Eastern modality of acupressure. It’s Eastern medicine meets Western medicine of psychology. So, what we’re doing is we’re tapping on different acupressure points on the body and you are repeating words and sentences, mirroring me—the coach. During our initial consultation, we connect and you tell me whatever it is you’re struggling with, whether mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual. You mirror me as we tap through these different points in your body, and I take down words that you’re saying. It’s proven that it’s much more powerful when clients hear their own words spoken back to them instead of the coach’s. We do that and go deeper and deeper. There are usually three layers. The first is the venting stage; the second is the possibility stage; the third is the affirmations stage. Everything is client-led and we don’t shy away from negativity because we want the experience to be as natural and as authentic as possible as we dig up their innermost truths. EFT helps you come out of that fight-or-flight syndrome and relaxes your central nervous system and gives you the space and time to release pressure and allow you to see them from a calmer, more impersonal perspective.

Why were you so drawn to this modality that you wanted to become certified?

Jennifer: As humans, we are given tools to navigate life. My reality on this Earth is that people I talk to tend to tell me everything that’s going on with them. I’m really, really good at playing Devil’s Advocate and offering perspectives that hopefully help them look at themselves with a little more love. I love EFT because it gives me a scientifically-proven method to actually help people—not just listen to them. And it’s a vehicle that allows me to step out of the way and let the work do the healing. The most important relationships we have in our life are with our body and mind and we need to be open to communicating with them instead of blocking that communication.
