Read MoreHow Fear of Moving Forward in Life Kept Her From Success
“When we began tapping we realized there was this very powerful fear of moving forward in her life because she had a long list of things that had gone painfully wrong in her recent past in all of her relationships, leaving her wanting to not put herself “out there” in any way so as not to get hurt again…”
Read MoreTapping for Others
“Because of this personal experience with surrogate tapping, I know first hand the comfort and relief it can offer… When things happen in the world that touch my heart and soul, I tap for the people and the places involved. Sometimes I tap as though I am in the situation, and sometimes I tap as a loving and compassionate witness to the event…”
