Lameez is the kind of practitioner who makes you feel met, not managed. Every session feels like the first deep breath of a long day.

What it is
EFT, sometimes called tapping, is a body-based emotional regulation tool. You name what is bothering you out loud while gently tapping on a sequence of nine acupressure points on the face, chest and hand. The working explanation is that tapping signals the amygdala, the part of the brain that runs your threat response, that it is safe to feel this right now. TO CONFIRM: LAMEEZ_TO_APPROVE_MECHANISM_WORDING The charge around the memory or feeling softens, sometimes dramatically, sometimes by gentle inches. It looks strange the first time. Two minutes in, that stops mattering.
What a session includes
- A brief intake to find the edge of what's stuck
- Two to three guided tapping rounds
- A take-home script for the week ahead
- A follow-up note from me 48 hours later
Who it may suit
You don't have to talk about what's wrong. Many clients prefer to simply hold it in mind, especially early on.

Individual experiences vary. This work is not a substitute for clinical care.
I had spent two years on a waiting list for a CBT therapist. Three sessions with Lameez did more than I had hoped a year of CBT would do. I'm not saying replace one with the other — but for the body part of anxiety, this is the work.

Perimenopause had turned me into someone I didn't recognise — rage, no sleep, a body that suddenly refused to do anything I asked of it. The Qigong + tapping combination gave me my sleep back within three weeks. I'm not exaggerating, and I am not someone who exaggerates.

EFT questions
What is EFT tapping?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), or 'tapping', is a body-based way to calm difficult emotions. You gently tap a sequence of nine acupressure points on the face, chest and hand while naming what's bothering you, which settles the body's stress response so the feeling loses its charge.
Do I have to talk about what’s wrong?
Less than you'd expect. We can work effectively while you simply hold what's bothering you in mind, an approach called 'silent EFT', so you never have to say more than you're comfortable with. Many clients prefer this, especially early on.
Can I do EFT sessions online?
Yes. EFT works just as well over video. In-person has a slight edge for first sessions and deeper somatic work. Qigong and TRE are in person only, in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
Does EFT tapping actually work?
The research is encouraging. A 2022 systematic review of 56 randomised controlled trials concluded that Clinical EFT meets American Psychological Association criteria as an evidence-based practice for anxiety, depression, phobias and PTSD. Results vary from person to person, and EFT isn't a cure. You don't need to believe in it to try it. See the research on The Work for sources.
