Our next guest is a Florida mathematician, a two-time TEDx speaker, a professional member of National Speakers Association, and an Accredited Master Trainer and Practitioner in Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as EFT or Tapping. She uses EFT to dissolve WAFFLES – worries, anxiety, fear, frustration, lethargy, exhaustion, and STRESS. While researching her dissertation research in Mathematics Education, she searched for methods to help college students overcome fear, phobia, and stress related to math class and math tests. In 2010, she founded Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or tapping) and began offering the process. Students reported they passed math class and found math easier to learn. In contrast to the four years that she took to earn her Ph.D., she spent 8 years earning her Master Trainer certificate in EFT. As a professional speaker, she presents to those looking for quick, effective methods to eliminate stress. With 80% of medical visits caused by stress and the major cause of death, stress management is crucial to optimal health and consequently peak performance.
