Attendee testimonials
“An insightful, empathic and holistic training workshop on trauma informed practices like no other. Kimberly’s expertise and passion will inspire and motivate you and will give you the confidence as a professional to effectively make a positive difference in the lives of others”
— Parenting Support Worker
“Kimberly delivered this workshop with consideration for learning styles, the most valuable of which was the experiential activities which allowed us to understand how the theories work in practice. I would highly recommend Kimberly as a facilitator and would definitely attend training with her again”
— Counsellor
“Genuinely loved it. I know people sometimes give fluffy feedback that isn't true at times but I genuinely couldn't have wanted anymore out of this session. Great presenter and presented in a great way..”
— Educational Mentor
Kimberly has an extensive knowledge base and is very welcoming to questions. I left the training well informed and with a greater understanding around trauma and its impacts on both children and adults. I would highly recommend training with Kimberly and look forward to attending more training with her in the future
