"After just a few sessions working with Kim, I have enjoyed a new level of confidence and comfort with my parenting style.

Using the WAVE™ technique, Kim has helped me move through some long standing emotional blocks, and I have

seen remarkable results in my increased connection with my family, and also in other aspects of my life, such as in my

career as a performer."
