Boost Your Motivation To Workout or Exercise (EFT Tapping)

This gentle pre-workout tapping session is for anyone who wants to move their body but can't quite seem to get started. Together we'll move through resistance and excuses with compassion, reconnect with your deeper why, and tap into a vision of your strongest, most vital self. There's space to play the tape forward - to feel how good you'll feel during and after - and to let that feeling pull you forward. We close with a grounding moment that honours whatever your body truly needs today, whether that's movement or rest.

Guided by Suzannah, who has a calm, soft British accent and gentle, grounding presence.
