Hello Reader!

I want to tell you about something I'm really excited to be hosting soon because if you're anything like most of the people in my world right now, the timing couldn't be better.

On Saturday, April 11th, I'm partnering with Elaine Barge of The Sauna Way to offer a three-hour wellness workshop in Stanley, NY called:

Release the Overwhelm: Using EFT Tapping & Sauna to Reset Your Nervous System.

Here's the honest version of who this is for:

It's for the person who is exhausted by 7pm but somehow can't fall asleep until midnight because their brain won't stop replaying everything that didn't get done.

It's for the person whose shoulders have been living somewhere near their ears for so long they've stopped noticing.

The person who keeps saying they need to slow down, but genuinely doesn't know how to do that without everything falling apart.

Maybe that's you right now. Maybe it's been you for a while.

None of that means something is wrong with you. It usually just means your nervous system has been stuck in fight-or-flight mode for so long that it's forgotten how to come down on its own. That's an incredibly common place to be, especially for people who care a lot and are holding a lot, and it's exactly what this workshop is built around.

Here's how the morning works:

We'll start with EFT tapping, guided by yours truly, ME.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) uses gentle tapping on specific points of the body to interrupt the stress response and signal safety to your nervous system. I know that might sound a little out there if you've never heard of it, but it's been clinically studied, it's genuinely effective, and once you learn it, you have it. And the first time I tried it, I was skeptical at first but pleasantly surprised with the results I felt instantly. The goal for the first part of our morning is for you to walk away with a specific, step-by-step sequence you've actually practiced, something you can reach for the next time you feel the anxiety spiral starting, or you're lying awake at midnight with a racing mind, or you're about to react and you want to respond instead.

From there, Elaine takes over for the sauna sessions. Once tapping helps settle the nervous system, therapeutic heat can deepen that reset at a physical level, helping your muscles release the tension they've been storing, supporting your body's natural stress-recovery cycle, and bringing your mind to the kind of quiet that most of us don't get to very often. Elaine's approach is grounded and accessible, and she's wonderful with people who have never been in a sauna before.

The combination of the two, working from the inside out and the outside in, at the same time, is something I've been really looking forward to offering, because I think it creates a shift that's hard to get from either one alone.

A few practical things to know:

The workshop runs from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday, April 11, 2026

Join us at: 3621 NY-245 in Stanley, NY.

You'll want to bring a towel, bathing suit, robe, and a water bottle and we'll take care of the rest, including infused water, herbal tea, and light snacks. No prior experience with tapping or sauna is needed at all. Just come as you are.

Space is limited, so if this is speaking to you, I'd love for you to grab your spot sooner rather than later.

I hope to see you there. This one is going to be really good.

Be Well, Tracy

P.S. If you know someone who could use a morning like this - a friend, a sister, a coworker who's been running on fumes - feel free to forward this along. Sometimes we need someone else to say "hey, I think this is for you."
