EFT Tapping, Nervous System Safety, and Building a Business You Actually Love

What if your biggest business bottleneck isn’t strategy—but your nervous system?

In this conversation-turned-blog, I’m sharing the gold from my chat with Alana Raina—a holistic therapist and wellness coach on a mission to help women heal at the nervous system level, tap into intuition, and manifest lives that feel a little “delusional”… and a lot aligned.

We met at a luxury + longevity event in Miami where Alana led a tapping activation that honestly shifted the way I’d written EFT off years ago. This time, the dots connected: it’s deeper than “woo.” It’s body-based. It’s practical. And it’s wildly relevant for women building audacious businesses.

Meet Alana: Oldest-Daughter Energy, Therapist Heart, Entrepreneur Vision

• Oldest daughter → therapist pipeline. Alana grew up carrying a lot—perfectionism, responsibility, making it all look easy. That lived experience is what lets her go deep with women today.

• From therapist to full-time entrepreneur. After years of one-on-one work (all virtual!), she’s now building Soul Space Holistic Wellness—her vision for a comprehensive healing hub in Miami: therapy, yoga, meditation, acupuncture, a holistic spa, coworking, cafe, events—the works.

• Yes, she’s doing a lot. She’s also launching a mobile matcha bar (because, life). And she’s honest about the dance between asking for help and the “I’ll just do it myself” reflex many of us share.

“I’m using the law of assumption and speaking about the center as if it already exists. The how is unfolding as I align my energy and take inspired action.”

Why EFT Tapping Works for Women Who Lead

Alana’s specialty is EFT tapping—a somatic (body-based) practice that pairs targeted phrases with tapping on specific acupressure points along energy meridians (think: acupuncture, but with your fingertips). In her words:

• Top-down vs. bottom-up. Classic talk therapy (CBT) lives in the conscious mind. Most of our blocks are stored below that—in the body, in stuck emotions, in nervous system patterns (fight/flight/freeze/shutdown). Tapping is a bottom-up approach that helps you access and release what logic can’t touch.

• Polyvagal & safety. Tapping stimulates the ventral vagal pathway (front of the face/neck), the part of your nervous system linked to connection, safety, and ease. You’re training your system to feel safe being seen, supported, and successful.

• RAS (Reticular Activating System). What you believe, you notice more of. Tapping helps you update the “search filter” in your brain so you can actually perceive evidence that supports your new story.

“The best strategy in the world cannot outpace a dysregulated nervous system.”

Intuition vs. Anxiety (And Why Founders Need Both Language & Body Tools)

• Anxiety feels frantic, scattered, urgent.

• Intuition feels calm, matter-of-fact, even when it defies logic.

Tapping helps quiet the ego’s survival loop (“hustle or else”) so your higher self can come through—clear, grounded, and precise. For founders, that looks like cleaner decisions, better boundaries, and opportunities that match your true capacity.

People-Pleasing Is Expensive (Financially, Emotionally, Energetically)

Alana’s e-course helps women unlearn the patterns that keep us over-functioning and under-receiving. Why it matters for business:

• People-pleasing hides inside “discounts,” “quick favors,” and “I’ll make it work.”

• It erodes pricing, positioning, delivery, and trust—with clients and with yourself.

• Healing it gives you back your four currencies: time, energy, money, attention.

“You—the human—aren’t separate from you—the business owner. How you show up in life is how you show up in your company.”

How to Start Tapping (Even If You’re New)

You can use EFT for deep shadow work and quick daily regulation. Alana’s practical flow:

1. Name what’s real. Identify the self-limiting belief (“It’s not safe to be seen,” “I only get flaky clients,” “If I rest, I’ll fall behind.”)

2. Create a safe container. A few grounding breaths, a quiet space, a short ritual if you like.

3. Tap the points (in this sequence):
   Eyebrow → Side of Eye → Under Eye → Under Nose → Chin → Collarbone → Under Arm → Top of Head
   Speak one line per point, repeat for 1–3 rounds.

4. Close with a hand on heart + breath. Seal the work.

5. Integrate. Some days will get emotional (good). Some days it’s a quick re-center (also good). Think daily hygiene, not emergency-only.

Pro tip Alana shared: Use a chat assistant to generate a personalized tapping script. Ask for an “EFT tapping script” for your exact situation (dating fear, client boundary, launch anxiety). The specificity makes it land.

A Short Centering Script You Can Use Tonight

Use the point sequence above. Read slowly and repeat each line as you tap each point:

• Eyebrow: Even if I’ve been in survival mode, I honor how hard I’ve worked to protect me.

• Side of Eye: It hasn’t always felt safe to be seen, successful, or supported.

• Under Eye: I’m open to creating a new experience now.

• Under Nose: I release the story that I must hustle to be worthy.

• Chin: I honor the part of me that’s been afraid to expand.

• Collarbone: My nervous system has been doing its best to keep me safe.

• Under Arm: I don’t need to live in survival mode anymore.

• Top of Head: I’m allowed to grow from ease, alignment, and truth.

Round 2

• Eyebrow: It’s safe to be supported.

• Side of Eye: It’s safe to be seen in my full power.

• Under Eye: It’s safe to believe in what’s possible for me.

• Under Nose: I can receive more with less effort.

• Chin: My brain is learning a new way of being.

• Collarbone: My body is learning what safety feels like.

• Under Arm: I permit my RAS to find proof I’m worthy and capable.

• Top of Head: I’m becoming the version of me who leads, receives, and creates with ease.

Hand over heart. Breathe in. Long, slow exhale. Done.

Entrepreneurship in the Feminine: Action and Allowing

What I love about Alana’s approach is the and:

• Yes—take inspired action (pitches, partnerships, events).

• And—let aligned opportunities find you because your energy, boundaries, and self-trust signal that you’re ready.

Sometimes that looks like communicating a boundary calmly (her “chairs vs. mats” story), getting the repair your system needed, and teaching your body: it’s safe to speak up.

Where to Find Alana + What’s Next

• Soul Space Holistic Wellness (Miami): the vision is live; the build is underway.

• E-Course: Unlearning People-Pleasing (currently priced at 111; early buyers receive all future additions).

• 1:1 Virtual Coaching: limited spots for deeper nervous-system-first work.

(Details are in the show notes.)

Final Takeaway

If you’re building something bold, your nervous system has to believe it’s safe to receive it. Tapping gives you a repeatable, body-based way to rewire safety, release old stories, and lead from ease instead of adrenaline.

I’ll be doing the centering script nightly—join me. Then tell me what shifts. Because when one woman regulates, leads, and receives…we all rise.
