    2026/04/17 | 1h 2 mins.
    In this episode I talk about Emotional Freedom Tapping with Sarah Louise Lilley and we are also joined by DN Instructor Shawna Lewis who uses EFT for herself and her horses. I think you’ll find this episode really interesting and useful.

    About the Guest:
    Sarah Louise Lilley is a clinical Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or “Tapping”) practitioner. A sought after coach and speaker, she helps equestrians overcome fears, blocks and trauma.
    Known for her holistic and heart-centered approach, Sarah equips riders with tools that cultivate ease, trust, and clarity by releasing the root causes of anxious thinking and limiting beliefs.
    Sarah has taken the stage at Equine Affaire (MA), US Pony Club Convention, Warwick Schiller’s Journey on Podcast Summit and collaborated with Wendy Murdoch on her popular series Webinars with Wendy. Sarah has appeared on numerous equestrian podcasts including: The Whole Equestrian with 5* Eventer Emily Hamel, WeHorse’s The Equestrian Connection with Danielle Crowell, and Horse Illustrated’s Barn Banter with Susan Friedland.
    When she's not riding her horse or working with her clients, Sarah mentors the next generation of Practitioners at EFT Universe, alongside Dawson Church.
