- How can i help
Gentle support, tailored to you
Every session is tailored to you. We start with what you're experiencing right now and gently follow what emerges.
Stress & Overwhelm
When responsibilities pile up, even small challenges can feel overwhelming. EFT can help ease emotional tension, reduce stress, and bring greater calm and balance into everyday life.
Anxiety & Fears
Constant worrying, imagining worst-case scenarios, or facing specific fears can make life stressful. EFT can help explore these feelings, reduce their intensity, and build greater calm and confidence.
Self-Esteem & Confidence
Beliefs like “I’m not good enough,” “I have to please everyone,” or “I always have to be strong” can hold you back. EFT can help explore their origins and develop greater confidence and self-acceptance.
Relationship Patterns
Struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, or difficult conversations? EFT can help uncover recurring emotional patterns and support healthier ways of responding.
Difficult Memories
Past experiences can continue to affect how we feel today. EFT and Matrix Reimprinting can help gently explore difficult memories, reduce their emotional impact, and develop new perspectives.
Life Transitions
Parenthood, separation, new beginnings, or unexpected changes can feel overwhelming. EFT can help you navigate these transitions with greater balance, clarity, and confidence.
Feeling Stuck
Sometimes you want change but fear, self-doubt, or familiar patterns hold you back. EFT can help explore underlying emotional blocks and support you in moving forward.
Personal Growth
EFT can help you understand yourself, explore limiting beliefs, and strengthen emotional resilience, self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence.
- SUPPORT FOR PARENTS
You take care of everyone. Who takes care of you?
The endless responsibilities. The worries about your children. The pressure to get everything right. The guilt of not doing enough. The constant second-guessing.
Some days, it feels like there’s hardly any room left for you.
You don't have to figure it all out alone.
Although I work with people from all walks of life, I have a special focus on supporting parents through the emotional challenges of raising children.
Through Clinical EFT and Matrix Reimprinting, I support parents in managing emotional overwhelm while exploring deeper emotional patterns and limiting beliefs that may be holding them back.
Because sometimes, meaningful change begins when we finally make space for ourselves.
Not to become a perfect parent. But to feel more like yourself again.
A reflection you might recognize....
In EFT tapping, we often begin by gently tapping on the side of the hand while acknowledging how we feel and offering ourselves acceptance. It might sound something like this:
“Even though I feel all this heavy guilt in my chest when I think about picking up my children late from school yesterday, seeing them standing there waiting for me while all the other kids had already gone home, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
In Clinical EFT, we gently explore specific moments like these and the emotions connected to them, creating space for greater self-compassion and emotional relief.
- About me
Growing up, I developed limiting beliefs about myself that followed me well into adulthood. Beliefs such as “I’m not good enough” and “I can’t trust myself” shaped the way I saw myself, influenced my decisions, and often held me back from pursuing things I truly wanted. For a long time, I didn’t fully understand why I felt this way or where those feelings came from. I simply accepted them as part of who I was. Discovering Clinical EFT became a turning point in my life. Through my own experience with tapping, I began to understand how these early beliefs had influenced me for so many years. More importantly, I discovered that I could work through them and begin to change the way I felt about myself. Little by little, I developed greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and confidence. Things that once felt overwhelming or out of reach began to feel possible. Experiencing this transformation firsthand inspired me to take a new direction. After years of supporting children and families, I wanted to help adults explore the emotional patterns and limiting beliefs that might be holding them back. Today, as an Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner and Certified Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner, I bring together my professional experience, personal journey, and genuine passion for helping others. I know what it feels like to carry beliefs that no longer serve you. And I know how meaningful it can be to realize that those beliefs don’t have to define your future. My goal is to offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, explore what is holding you back, and discover new possibilities for yourself.
Hi, I'm Doreen.
For over 20 years, I’ve worked closely with children, parents, and families as a lead preschool teacher. As a mother of two sons, I also understand the emotional challenges of parenting from my own experience. Through both my professional and personal journey, I’ve learned how important it is to truly listen, understand people’s emotions, and create a space where they feel heard, accepted, and supported.
But my own journey hasn’t always been easy.

- THE APPROACH
What is EFT?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), also known as Tapping, is an evidence-based stress reduction technique that combines gentle tapping on specific acupressure points with focusing on a current emotion, thought, or physical sensation.
When we experience stress, the amygdala — the part of the brain that constantly scans for danger — can become overactive and keep the body in a fight, flight, or freeze response. Tapping helps calm the nervous system, signaling to the brain that you are safe.
Research shows that EFT can lower stress hormones such as cortisol and reduce the intensity of emotions like anxiety, fear, anger, or overwhelm. Many people also experience relief from physical symptoms linked to stress, such as tension or chronic pain. By calming both the mind and the body, EFT helps you feel more balanced, resilient, and at ease.
What is Matrix Reimprinting?
Matrix Reimprinting is an EFT-based approach that works with memories, beliefs, and emotional experiences that may continue to influence how we see ourselves and respond to situations in the present.
Many of the beliefs we develop about ourselves begin early in life, sometimes during experiences we did not yet have the resources to fully understand. Using gentle visualization together with EFT Tapping, you are guided to connect with a younger version of yourself associated with a memory — and to imagine new, more supportive perspectives and possibilities.
It is a gentle, compassionate approach intended to support emotional well-being, self-awareness, and personal growth. Individual experiences vary, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.

We start with you
We start with what’s on your mind and what feels challenging right now. Together, we explore your emotions, stress triggers, and what you would like to change.
We follow what shows up
As we begin tapping, we gently explore emotional patterns, underlying beliefs, and anything that may be contributing to how you feel today.
When we go deeper
Sometimes, earlier experiences are connected to what we’re feeling in the present. When appropriate, Matrix Reimprinting allows us to gently explore those connections, work with unresolved emotions, and open the door to new perspectives.
Always at your own pace
There is no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. Each session is guided by your needs, creating space for greater emotional balance, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

“I didn’t know anything about EFT going in, but after the first session I felt my body was a lot more relaxed, and some of the things that I’d been worrying about didn’t bother me as much. The next few sessions helped me continue to let go of old fears. Doreen was very helpful in guiding me through this all, and I’m really thankful for this.”
Thank you again for the EFT sessions

„EFT hilft mir, mich in stressigen Situationen schnell und unkompliziert selbst zu regulieren – sogar mein starkes Lampenfieber konnte ich damit deutlich reduzieren. Besonders wertvoll finde ich, dass ich EFT inzwischen auch selbstständig im Alltag anwenden kann. Danke für diese wertvolle Methode und die tolle Begleitung!“
— Sonja
Experienced dog fear/ phobia for over 30 years after being bitten by a dog when I was young.
I had my first session with Doreen, where she introduced me to EFT.
I can honestly say I was a bit skeptical at first, as the concept was hard to grasp, but I can admit after the first session I felt improvements already.
