Why Mariposa?
Have you ever become hooked on a word? And you keep hearing it everywhere? Well, for years that's what happened for me with "mariposa". At some point I found out that Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish. That surprised me because I also have a special feeling for butterflies.
I chose the name Mariposa for my EFT practice because butterflies are a symbol for transformation. EFT can be transformational for people who use it.

About Your Tapping (EFT) Guide

I am a certified EFT Practitioner with EFT International. I did my training with Master Trainer of Trainers, Betty Moore-Hafter.
I am also a level 2 Reiki Practitioner and hold a BA and MA in English and Education. In my years of teaching I encountered so many families that were under stress and I wished for a way to help them.
My first encounter with EFT was seeing a presentation by Nick Ortner during the Hay House Healing Summit many years ago. When I first saw what Nick was doing, tapping on the face and body to relieve stress, I thought it looked pretty weird.
But then, I tried it. I was amazed at how quickly EFT released tension I was having about a particular issue in my life. I was hooked. I am so glad I found Betty Moore-Hafter and decided to learn more about how this process works and what actually happens in our bodies when we experience stress, which is more often than we might think.
I love seeing the look of amazement on people’s faces when they discover something they never thought of before about their issue. That’s part of the miracle of EFT. It changes your outlook on life, and you are transformed.
I was born and raised in New York but have lived most of my adult life on beautiful Cape Cod, MA where I spent many years teaching middle and high school English. I’m also a poet and writer, currently working on a trilogy based on my Italian ancestors.
I look forward to working with you and helping you through issues that may be holding you back.

“When I was navigating a challenging career pivot, the stress became overwhelming, and I found that I was too anxious to move forward effectively. After even one EFT session with BettyAnn, I noticed a peace inside that I hadn't felt in a while.
After more sessions, I moved through limiting beliefs and blocks. I’m now employed and love my job.” - Julia S.
