In this episode of the HerStory Podcast, host Kylie King welcomes the inspiring Khadine Aharon, founder of Embrace Empowerment and the 2022 ALIBI Awards Phoenix Award winner. Khadine’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience; after a complete emotional and physical crash at age 25, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. Despite being told she might never work again, Khadine discovered Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which transformed her health and life.

Khadine shares the fascinating science behind EFT, explaining how it bridges Western psychology and Eastern meridian systems to reduce cortisol and release stored trauma. Now an Accredited Social Worker and EFT Trainer, she is on a mission to impact communities across Australia. Through her generous scholarship program, Khadine has provided dozens of women with full training to take these life-changing skills back to their own communities, proving that healing is possible even after the deepest challenges.

I have a combined experience of 34 years in the healing and community services professions. With my knowledge of natural therapies and social work I bring a holistic, strengths-based approach to my work with clients and providing training.

In my client work I specialise in supporting people living with the impacts of trauma, phobias and other life challenges.

I’ve been providing EFT Tapping Practitioner Training for five years around Australia. My vision for my business is to create the most in-depth holistic EFT Tapping training available, and to be able to bring the training to remote communities to support generational healing.

At home I foster traumatised cats. I assist them with my healing skills and love them up to get them ready for their forever humans. In my spare time I enjoy exploring the outdoors.
