NICOLAS ORTNER is CEO of The Tapping Solution, LLC, a company with a mission to bring into the mainstream a simple, effective, natural healing method known as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or "Tapping." Tapping is a healing modality that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. Nick's goal is to empower people to create healthy, abundant and stress-free lives through his books, films, CDs, online events and speaking engagements attended by participants from all over the world. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living , and The Tapping Solution for Pain Relief: A Step-by-Step Guide to Reducing and Eliminating Chronic Pain . Prior to that, Nick created and produced the breakthrough documentary film The Tapping Solution , which follows ten people who used Tapping to overcome significant challenges, including chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, devastating grief and more. Nick's books and film document real and extraordinary results that have inspired tens of thousands to follow suit by successfully applying Tapping in their lives. Nick has also produced first-of-their-kind online programs that teach easy, effective ways to apply Tapping to anything limiting a person's life or health. Some noteworthy examples are: The "Tapping World Summit," a free, annual worldwide online event that has been attended by over 1,000,000 people (www.
