Harness the Power of BLS with Andrea Castellano, MSN, CSN, PMHNP-BC
Are you looking for an effective, non-invasive approach to manage anxiety, trauma, or stress? At Bella Dora Health, led by Andrea Castellano, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), Bilateral Tapping Stimulation (BLS) is used as a powerful therapeutic tool to support emotional regulation and healing. Available across Pennsylvania, this technique is part of our integrative mental health services to help you restore balance and resilience.
Targeted, Gentle, and Rooted in Neuroscience
Bilateral Tapping Stimulation gently activates both hemispheres of the brain in an alternating pattern, often used in trauma-informed therapies. This simple yet powerful technique supports the processing of difficult emotions, reduces distress, and fosters a calmer mind—all in a safe and supportive environment.
What is Bilateral Tapping Stimulation (BLS)?
Bilateral Tapping Stimulation is a method of stimulating the brain by alternately tapping or engaging the left and right sides of the body. Commonly used in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other trauma-informed therapies, BLS can help reprocess distressing experiences and regulate the nervous system.
