"Every time we speak Kimberly is prepared (sometimes more than me) with ideas, tasks, and next steps for achieving my goals. She’s an agitator, in the best sense. She stirs up your dreams and gets them going! The intentions Kimberly assigns are achievable and measurable. In the years we’ve worked together, my goals have manifested into actual events and workshops and the community is reaping the benefit of our services."
