Who I Help

Most people come to me with something specific that has been running their life for too long.

After a BREAKUP.
You replay it constantly. You miss him. You feel the pull to check his social media, to reach out, to go backward. Part of you knows it's over and your body hasn't caught up. You've talked about it enough — you want the ache to actually come down.

ANXIETY and PANIC.
The tight chest, the racing loop, the fear of losing control somewhere you can't leave. Often the worst part isn't the anxiety itself — it's the dread of the next time it hits.

PHOBIA or FEAR.
Flying. Driving on the highway. The dentist. Needles and blood tests. The MRI tube. Standing up to speak. You know it isn't rational. That has never once made it smaller.

Most of my clients have already tried to think their way out. They are capable, self-aware people who understand their problem perfectly well and still can't put it down. Understanding it was never the missing piece.

What to Expect

We don't spend the session analyzing the problem. We work on bringing the intensity down.

We start with one specific thing — a memory, a fear, a situation, whatever is loudest right now. I guide you through the tapping while you stay with what you actually feel. No forcing yourself to think positive, no talking in circles, and no need to say every painful detail out loud. Tapping works on the emotional charge even when you keep the specifics to yourself.

We measure it. You tell me how strong it is when we start, and we check again as we go, so you're not left guessing whether anything moved. You'll know.

If the session doesn't feel worth it to you, I refund it. I don't think anyone should pay for a first session that did nothing for them. Just tell me, and it's refunded, no discussion.

How I Work

One-to-one over Zoom, from anywhere in the world. I keep hours that work for clients in the US, Europe, and Austalia.

I work issue by issue rather than selling a fixed program. Many people get what they came for in a few sessions. Others are working with something longer-standing, and that takes more time — I'll tell you honestly which one I think you're dealing with rather than sell you a package you don't need.

You don't leave empty-handed. A fear doesn't wait for your next appointment, and breakup pain doesn't hit on schedule. So part of every session is teaching you to use tapping on your own: how to catch it early, what to tap on, how to bring your own charge down when the wave arrives. Clients tell me this is the part that changes things most — not that the fear got smaller, but that they stopped being afraid of the fear. Once you know you can bring it down yourself, the dread of the next time loses most of its power.

If you want to see whether this is a fit, book the free intro call and bring the one thing you'd most like to put down.

Tapping is a wellness approach, not medical or mental-health treatment, and it doesn't replace care from a licensed professional.

What Clients Say

“"Seven months after the breakup and I still couldn't stop thinking about him. The memories came back day and night — I couldn't shake them. After tapping with Yaakov, the feelings just didn't have the same grip on me anymore. I was finally able to let them go. If you can't get over your ex, please try this. And he's warm and even funny — which I didn't expect. It made the sessions actually feel good to be in, not something I was dreading."”

“BUS and PLANE PHOBIA - My fear of buses made my world smaller and smaller. I stopped traveling and sometimes walked for hours because I was too afraid to get on a bus. I felt imprisoned in one city and thought, “This is just my life now.” Yaakov helped me gently with EFT tapping, one tiny step at a time. Eventually, I took one bus stop — something I thought I could never do. I wasn’t panicking. I was on the bus, and I was okay. I couldn’t even believe it.That moment gave me my freedom back. Soon I rode buses again, and eventually I even took an international flight. I couldn’t believe it!”
— Rosie, Phoenix, AZ
“FOR PHOBIAS AND PAINFUL MEMORIES - Yaakov has helped significantly decrease my very real phobia of birds and helped me release trauma from my past. Before working with him, I literally could not pass by birds outside by myself. And I lived in fear of seeing them. Now, I walk confidently past them. What a difference!  I think He’s exceptional at what he does. Approachable, relatable, perceptive, intelligent and funny. The ideal mix. I really mean it. The sessions we’ve had to date helped me tremendously.”
— Ally G., NYC
