—Susan Piver, author of The Four Noble Truths of Love

This is a must-read.”
—Peta Stapleton, PhD, associate professor of psychology at Bond University, Australia, and author of The Science Behind Tapping

—Carol Look, founding EFT master and cocreator of the documentary film Tapping for Weight Loss
 
“As someone who works in the alternative health-care field, I know how important self-care practices are in any healing endeavor.
