"While working with Kim on my OCD recovery, she sent me tones to help aid me in my recovery. Kim sent me Ocean Waves with tones to listen to during our sessions. It was amazing that listening to that particular tone helped me unlock so many past memories that were my traumas plaguing me my entire life that I basically forgot about to help me move on. I tried other tones but that one, that one was the ticket to help me and be able to talk about those traumas with Kim. After each of our sessions I felt so calm and relaxed and truly felt like I had made serious progress in my recovery from past traumas and OCD. Kim also gave me Chill Pill to listen to if I was ever feeling anxious or an OCD thought came in. She said to listen to Chill Pill. So I did and it instantly calms me down and actually makes me sleepy. Tones have helped me in so many beneficial ways to help me recover from my past traumas and OCD. Thank you Kim!" -EB, Denver, Colorado "On 11/11/16, I lost Andrew, someone that I loved deeply, to suicide. I discovered his body nine days later. He was decomposing. This experience was traumatic, confusing and isolating. I was thrust into a world of darkness that I did not believe I could escape from. Everyday was a struggle to survive and I had no idea how I was going to be able to raise my 3 year old daughter. Also during this period of grief, my daughter was harmed by someone we both trusted. I was paralyzed. I felt unequipped to handle life. I didn’t want to live but couldn’t leave my daughter. I was in this state for about a year until I met Kim. Within the first session, I was able to process Andrew’s death. Subsequent sessions brought up other traumas from childhood on to process. Through the processing of my traumas from childhood I became aware that many traumas happen generationally and will continue to until recognized and stopped. I refer to Kim as my Earth Angel because she saved both my life and my daughter’s life. She did so by giving me the tools for healing with exceptional guidance." -- H.K., Colorado Springs, CO “Having suffered for a number of years with IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) caused by stress, my usual solution has been to take a sedative when needed. I recently tried the ‘Healing Minds by Design® for Anxiety' audio program and found my discomfort gone within half an hour. I appreciate so much the relief that it has given me.” --MA, Colorado “Yesterday I had a lot of anger and I listened [to the audio program] and I started to calm down. I like the tones. I need to keep working with this because it helped me calm down. I need to do this every time I feel this way.” --KH, OIF Veteran, Texas “My daughter gets anxiety when she goes to her dad’s house and back home again. She is only 4 and loves the "Kiddie Kalm" program and asks to use it when ever she feels sad or stressed. It has cut back on temper tantrums and she doesn’t act out once she come back like she used to. Thank you for making this wonderful program and making my daughter less stressed…and me as well!” -- KL, Colorado “My 3.5 yr old daughter has a rare brain malformation with significant neurological defects & these audio programs have helped calm her down while transitioning from different daily activities & environments i.e. doing speech activities to water activities or using her ipad, before going to preschool or leaving the house in general. I’ve also noticed this gets her ready for bed & to sleep more comfortably for longer periods of time. I am so glad to have found something that naturally calms my daughter's brain down.” -- Jennifer & Lily Bomba, Denver, CO "In 2006, I lost my daughter in an extremely violent event. Gradually, over the next two years I became weak and experienced increasing pain throughout my body. After trying various methods to treat the symptoms I found I needed to address the root of my problems. One hour of bilateral stimulation therapy with Kim was amazingly effective! The improvement was profound. When I woke up the next day I just stood for a while and marveled at how balanced and comfortable my body felt. The whole concept of this therapy is so logical!” --Ellen Stoddard-Keyes, Bailey, CO |
“During the Platte Canyon High School lock-down, all of the students in our English department, including some hostages released by the shooter, were confined in my classroom. Later in the day, as I stood outside, I heard the explosion which marked the SWAT assault on the classroom holding Emily and another student. That sound still haunts me. After an investigation, the room was sealed off. In front of the wall erected for this purpose, a pink tree with pink lights and ribbons stood in memory of Emily; however, for months her memorial triggered fresh grief and sadness each morning when I arrived at work. To avoid chronic gloom, I began to look away whenever I passed her tree. Obviously, I was not healing and mentioned this to a school counselor who asked about my morale. A few days later she introduced me to Kim Savage. Kim explained the EMDR procedure. Initially I was skeptical about any value the treatment might have, for I have never sought therapeutic help for any reason. Nonetheless, some equally hesitant teachers persuaded me to be a guinea pig and give the procedure a try, so I decided to enter into it with an open mind and serious intent. After sitting with Kim for an hour, a span which comprised multiple short sessions, I marveled at the control I suddenly felt over my gloom. The healing was tangible and immediate. Although the procedure required strict concentration, I found it non-threatening. At no point did I feel put upon or violated, and I left amazed at the experience. In the weeks that followed, my healing built upon itself until I reached a point where passing Emily’s memorial tree became a cathartic ritual. Each morning it greeted me with fond memories of her sitting in my classroom, and I would say, “Good morning, Emily,” as I turned on the pink lights.” --DB, Platte Canyon High School , Bailey, CO “I have a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and seizures because of it. I started listening to the Healing Minds by Design® program for Anxiety. The program really helps to calm my brain down and allows me to focus better. After listening to the program I find that I’m more relaxed and focused, and that allows me to multitask much better. I also use it to help me sleep, and when I do, I don’t have seizures during the night. I’ve taken all kinds of drugs to go to sleep, from over-the-counter sleep aids to narcotic prescription medications, and none of them help. This helps every time.” --JJ, Golden, CO “I heard about the services of Healing Minds By Design® through the school counseling office where I work as a secretary. I was hesitant to use the services, but decided to do so after hearing about great results other staff members and students were having. My experience from the sessions was very beneficial. I went from not being able to talk about the events at our school without crying, to being able to speak about it in detail without having feelings of this being something I just couldn’t deal with or handle. The difference was amazing. The change in my life was huge, as I now am able to move on and have this event as a more distant memory and not at the forefront of my life. I highly recommend the services of Healing Minds By Design® and would like to thank them for offering their services to our school.” --L.F., Platte Canyon High School, Bailey, CO |
