Kimberly Ficklin
How I quit my job, fired my doctor, and live a life free from illness. At 42 years old Kimberly Ficklin had it all, fantastic job, high-flying lifestyle, big house, happy marriage, savings in the bank. She genuinely thought she had it all until she lost her health. Years of overworking, stress and ignoring her own health brought her to her knees. She lost the lifestyle she had worked so hard to achieve. Not satisfied with the endless drug prescriptions and hospital visits, she turned to nutrition and lifestyle changes because she wanted to live a happy healthy life. Six months later she had dramatically improved and realized that she could not go back to the same unhealthy choices she was making before. She also recognized that many of her former colleagues were struggling with the same health and stress issues that she had in the quest for corporate success. Now Kimberly works with companies, helping to create inclusive, executive-driven leadership and well-being solutions that help cultivate healthy, vibrant work cultures and enhance organizational performance and growth.
EFT to heal painful memories, negative beliefs, and uncomfortable emotions. Amy Piper is a certified practitioner and trainer of Emotional Freedom Techniques. Her
passion for EFT (tapping) originates from direct experience with this transformational
work. Beginning the journey initially as a client in 2012, she was stunned with the
quickness in which old beliefs, patterns, and obstacles could be released and cleared.
She pursued EFT certification in 2016 and then went on to become a trainer of EFT in
2019. While she works with her clients on a variety of life issues, her specialty involves working with individuals to identify and break through negative belief systems in the areas of love and relationships. Her true joy and devotion to this work is to help people break the cycle of old patterns, clear any limiting beliefs, and expand their beliefs about what is possible. Amy’s formal education is as a Speech-Language Pathologist; her career has involved working with adults who have suffered brain injuries. Merging the techniques of EFT with her formal educational training has had a profound effect. She also is a certified Kundalini yoga instructor; she commits to a daily meditation and yoga practice to remain grounded and allow intuition to guide her sessions.
