Honoring Grief with Kimberly on the 1ST Friday of the Month at 11am pacific starting September 2, 2022

About Kimberly and her journey to NFTS! :

Kimberly grew up always believing that life was supposed to be more joyful, loving and
connected than she experienced in her life and in her relationships. She was told directly or
indirectly by people and by the World to contain her Joy and light, to not stand out or be “too
much”, and to not get “too excited” for things because life and people will just let you down.
Deep down she felt and knew this was CRAP, and she carried much grief and longing for
what she knew was the Truth. Who knew that just 1 month after turning 40, she’d be divorced,
lost, and completely broken apart…. AND that THIS despair would be the hidden light that
would lead her into that life she always dreamt of!

Through a courageous, bumpy, and even magical experience of deeply grieving her marriage
and the grief she’d held in her body for nearly 40 years, and fully allowing herself to feel it all,
she has now transformed her life from one of doubt, fear, anxiety and longing into one of
more Joy, love, creativity, purpose, and passion greater than she ever believed was possible!
In learning how to love herself fully through devastating loss and grief, she ultimately has
learned what true self-love and unbridled joy truly is! One of the powerful tools in her journey
through grief has been using what she likes to call the ‘superpower tool’ of EFT (Emotional
Freedom Technique) Tapping! – see below for more on EFT!

From this journey, Kimberly now emanates a contagious, bright passion to share powerful
messages about grief and loss, and this tool of EFT Tapping with the World; she reminds us
that recognizing, honouring and choosing to allow our grief with a full, open heart to ourselves
can transform our lives by transforming the way we love ourselves (and others)! Come join
Kimberly on her show ‘Honoring Grief with Kimberly’ to begin this magnificent transformation
for yourself!

Kimberly is an accredited Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT ‘Tapping’) Practitioner, Grief

Clowning and Care project in Costa Rica with the one and only Dr. Patch Adams! She has
also been passionately creating a Youtube series on grief and loss called ‘A Brief on Grief’,
which is what her NFTS show ‘Honouring Grief’ is inspired by! Also on Youtube, you will find
co-creation Tapping videos with her and the ‘EFT Wizard’ Brad Yates! Last but not least, she
is excitedly creating her first TED talk and Edmonton International Fringe Theatre solo show!
Kimberly enjoys guiding people through their own transformations through 1 on 1 in- person
and online coaching sessions, through online EFT Tapping groups, and through lectures and
workshops for community groups and businesses.

“We are all magnificent children of this Universe! When we truly ground into this and love ourselves as this, especially through emotional loss and grief, I believe anything is possible!”

– Kimberly Robbie

Who Knew?! – A tid bit about Grief and Loss:

As human beings, we experience emotional loss and grief on a near daily basis, BUT we are
not taught to recognize these losses, how prevalent they are, and how to process what we
feel in healthy ways. Grief is an experience, NOT just one emotion, and grief can be felt and
expressed by emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, loneliness, overwhelm, numbness,
fatigue, shame, guilt etc; nearly any uncomfortable emotion can be a part of grief. We can
experience losses of hopes, dreams, expectations, losses of connection, losses of health,
losses of safety, and losses of trust in self, others and the world. There are actually over 40
different kinds of emotional loss, and with each one of these losses we experience grief – who
knew?!

“Not enough of us know how to sit in pain with others. Worse, our discomfort shows up in ways that can hurt people and reinforce their own isolation. I have started to believe that crying in person with strangers could save the world. “ – Dr, Brene Brown

EFT ‘Tapping ‘ – it’s kinda a superpower!

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT ‘Tapping’) is a powerful, somatic psychotherapy energy
tool based off the Chinese Acupuncture meridian system. Tapping with our fingers on the same
acupressure points of the face and torso where acupuncture needles would go stimulates the
natural energy flow along the body’s meridians; this helps to re-balance energy flow and shift stuck
energy that can be a result of unprocessed, trapped emotional energy. EFT helps to shift us out of
our ‘fight, flight, freeze’ stress brain into a calmer state where we can think, plan and take action
from a calmer place. While we are tapping these points, we also speak about what emotions,
sensations, thoughts, or memories are present for us; the talking part of EFT exposes and
processes issues, feelings, memories, and even physical discomfort while the tapping allows
the body and mind to stay calm during the process.

“In as little as an hour of Tapping, you can literally change your gene expression!” – Dr.
