I originally came to Kimberly for acupuncture to help with persistent, cystic acne. I thought my skin was the issue, but very quickly I learned it was so much deeper than that. Through working together, it became clear that I was a strong candidate for (SIT), and that decision completely changed my life.

During our sessions, I uncovered how deeply ingrained my people-pleasing tendencies were. I had spent most of my life suppressing my emotions, not fully identifying or honoring how I felt, and consistently putting myself last. That emotional suppression was being stored in my body, especially in my heart space and my skin. My acne wasn’t random. It was my body asking to be heard.

Before SIT, life felt heavy and disconnected. I was constantly overextending myself for others, ignoring my own needs, and living in a way that was quietly but seriously impacting my health. I didn’t realize how much emotional weight I was carrying until I finally gave myself permission to look at it.

The SIT sessions themselves were more impactful than any therapy experience I’ve had. Kimberly created such a safe, guided space that allowed me to access my raw, honest emotions without fear or judgment. I was able to connect to past versions of myself, uncover the root of my people-pleasing behaviors, and see how those patterns were still influencing my life today. Through visualization, conversation, and somatic release, I was finally able to let go of emotional pain I had been holding onto for years. It felt like my mind, body, and soul were finally allowed to realign.

After the sessions, the changes were undeniable. My skin improved dramatically, clearer than it has been in years, which still amazes me. But beyond that, my entire life shifted. I became more productive, more present, and more confident. By no longer living in constant people-pleasing mode, I had more productive energy for myself, my work, and the things that truly matter. Ironically, by showing up more authentically, my relationships actually improved. People responded better to me because I was finally connected to my true self.

One of the biggest gifts from this work is that I now sit with and acknowledge my emotions instead of suppressing them. I understand my self-worth on a deeper level, and I make decisions from a place of alignment rather than obligation. I came in for skin healing and walked away having broken emotional contracts with myself that had been holding me back for most of my life.

The work is so powerful that I could easily spend hours in this space.

Working with Kimberly has been nothing short of transformative. This experience surprised me in the best possible way, and I am deeply grateful for the healing, clarity, and freedom I gained through SIT. It truly changed how I live, how I care for myself, and how I show up in the world.
