~"Wow! It is hard to put into a few words how much Kimberly and Moment Connections has touched my life, but
I will do my best. Kimberly truly has a gift. A gift that has the ability to tap into the recesses of your mind, heart
and spirit. She can pull hidden resources from you that you never knew you had. From playing The Encounter on
two separate occasions, group workshops and having personal one-on-one coaching from Kimberly , I have
discovered me! I mean the REAL me. It blows me away knowing what I am actually capable of. Through the
compassion, the talent, and the intuition that Kimberly possesses, I have a new lease on life. -From the bottom of
my heart to the top of my spirit... I thank you!" - Stacie~
"Your services go beyond that of a life coach. You truly have a gift, and you offer it to those who are ready to see
their life differently. In coaching, we worked through so many personal things, but in Boot Camp, it's all in your
face, no excuses, no distractions, it's right there in front of you. This has honestly changed my life, and I'm beginning
to see positivity instead of poverty, the joy of living every day rather than struggling through it. You have a fire
about yourself, and the motivation and passion with which you share are a true testament to how much you believe
in what you're saying; which is to get off your butt, and get real with life! It may not be easy, but oh, so worth it! I
adore you, and you ROCK!" - Daniela
~"When I started seeing Kim, my life was a mess. I was drained physically and mentally. (I went from being a
successful and confident entrepreneur to being depressed, lacking confidence and losing belief in myself). My
brother had passed away, I had a difficult breakup with a girl I loved very much, and several business ventures were
unsuccessful. For the first time in my life I needed help! Since coming to see Kim, I have made a complete 180
degree turn around. I feel great, I am stable, I am happy and I am headed on the right track financially. No longer am
I spiritually or financially bankrupt. Not everyday is a good day - not all situations are great, but I have a solid
foundation and a deeper knowledge and awareness and it is all because of the help Kim has given me. Kim is
amazing! She is tough when she needs to be and soft at other times. She listens and gives advice. She has this
amazing intuition and can tell if something is wrong and you are not being truthful. Kim has given me the tools
needed to succeed. I recommended her to a friend and I will continue to do so. Kim has a gift.......meet her........you'll
see... " - Steve Eid~
~Kimberly, I want to thank you for your guidance and encouragement over these past few months. As you know, I
have struggled in the process, many times feeling like your information has gone in one ear, and then out the other,
as soon as I stepped outside your door and into the "world". If this was a graded situation, I would have received a
big fat "F" for not turning in my homework assignments! But luckily, you accept late assignments! Now, as I gather
all the handouts and notes I've taken and received, its a wonderful journey to compile my own "cookbook", as you
always referred to finding the "recipe" for me. Everything is finding its place and is so meaningful to me now. You
see, after this time on my slow but steady personal journey, I am starting to make the connection, and I am so
excited about it. I am so glad I have continued to see you even when I didn't feel like it, or wondered if I would ever
"get it", because if I had stopped, where would I be now....right back at square 1, having to start down the road
again. There is such a satisfaction, a feeling of being proud and a sense of accomplishment when I walk into your
office now because I have done the homework. Not perfect of course, but perfect enough for me and who I am. I
am having the dialogue I need to have with myself, feeding myself the information you have given me. I am seeing
myself as a good investment who is worth putting the time and money into. So Kimberly, thank you for all your
guided help and reintroducing me to my Divine Spirit. I am so excited as I am learning to live my journey in the
present moment now. Smiles and Cheers!NC
~"Kimberly has been my rock, her passion is contagious and it has given me the inspiration and accountability that I
needed to structure a weight-loss plan that has worked for me and my lifestyle. Be open to her knowledge and
motivation and it will help you to define your goals and change your life!" - Jody H.~
~“Kimberly, Thank you for understanding...no matter what has happened from our first session until now, you
always find what feels like to me the perfect words that warm my heart, breathe life into my soul...and that sense of
humor that keeps me giggling. You are real and honest even when I didn't want to hear what you had to say...your
loving honesty gave and still gives me strength...and for that I pray you are always safe and joyously happy. You
said so many beautiful things the other day...some of which you should consider putting on magnets so people can
put on their refrigerators. I will re-read your e-mail again and again...if need be.” - Cathie~
~"I can attest to Kimberly's expertise, passion, and professionalism for her clients!! She and her methods have
transformed my life allowing my dreams to flourish! Without her teaching me I would not be in the position I am
today. She is absolutely wonderful and her passion is contagious!! If you have not utilized Kimberly I say very
strong that you MUST!! :o)"- Shelley Winsor, Personal Stylist, Shelley Chic/818-470-0444 www.shelleychic.net~
~"About Kimberly….Briefly…the most genuinely concerned, compassionate people I have ever met. A person, who
is uniquely different than others, who doesn’t interrupt a conversation, or never lies in wait to turn conversation
back to themselves. Funny, even though I have had periods in my life where I haven’t spoken to Kim in a year or
more…I’d be lost without her. Kim is a born counselor – a fresh breath when you’re choking on despair." - Frank~
~"I have been blessed enough to work with Kimberly in varied activities, individually and in groups, in person and
on the phone. Her energy, understanding, and peace shine through in every situation. I am continuously
overwhelmed by her concern and care for me. With her help, I continue to reach my goals and find bliss". -Melissa~
~"Last year my son, Devin, was flunking out of high school; simply because he had no motivation to do his school
work. He is very intelligent and a good kid. He simply would rather play video games or hang out with his friends
than do school work. Devin always thought he could do the minimum amount of effort and still get by. Since
Kimberly started to work with him at the end of his junior year, my husband and I have seen an amazing turn
around. Kimberly has motivated Devin to look forward and see that he needs to make an effort in life if he wants to
achieve his goals. She has worked with him in setting goals, creating an affirmation to graduate from high school, as
well as his future goals after high school. Devin talks about his life in the future now with clarity and understanding
and feels he can do what he sets out to do if he makes a plan and has faith. It amazed me when Devin came home
and repeated so many things that my husband and I have told him for years, but we are just the parents. Having
someone else to talk to has opened Devin up and he listens to Kimberly’s directions and suggestions. Even Devin
comments on how nice it is to have someone to talk to outside of the family. Now Devin is in his senior year and is
carrying a 3.57 grade point average and we have even received calls from his teacher that has known him over the
years and she has commented on how much more responsible and reliable he has become. It was a great feeling to get
a call from a teacher that wanted to brag about my son. Kimberly has helped Devin to make a 180 degree turn and I
can see Devin using her advice and expertise through the rest of his life. She has taught him true life know-how and
skills. Thank you so much Kimberly; you are amazing." - Dan and Cyndi Diaz~
~"I just love going to see Kimberly! She has a real talent to bring things to light that I need to deal with and gives me
tools to deal with them easier than it would be for me to figure it out on my own. That being said, in no way does
she take away my personal power; her intuition seems to enhance it even more! With the tools we set in place in
our sessions, it makes it easier for me to move through a situation. I have grown a lot since our first session just a
few months ago and I will continue to grow with ongoing sessions. When I leave a session with Kimberly, I feel
very grounded and enlightened at the same time. It's a wonderful feeling!!!" - Lori Schneider~
I’ve been going to therapy for quite some time and Kimberly has been a client of mine for a long time. Every time
she would come into my shop we would talk and I would always feel so good afterward. I was seeing a Life Coach
at the time and when she became a Life Coach I attended a few of her workshops in Canyon Country and loved
them. I talked her into doing a workshop at the salon and at my home, was seeing another therapist at the time and
told her I liked her style of coaching but Canyon Country seemed too far away for my busy schedule. Kimberly
suggested phone coaching. I was very hesitant but after our first phone session, I was “hooked”. I felt like I was
talking to her in person and sitting across from her. It felt just as effective as meeting in person which I did
experience with another coach. Her style of coaching is like a cross between self help books and coaching. What I
have learned since working with Kimberly is to be kinder to myself and to enjoy my journey of life more. My
relationships with my family and friends have improved – and even my relationship with my dog! I have more
patience and see in a more loving way. It’s a lot of work but it is worth it. When I don’t do the work I feel numb,
like I’m just existing and like a car on the 405 freeway at rush hour. When I do the work I feel so alive and just want
to hug someone! I realize I can give more to others as I give to myself! - Marisa Cardenas, Styist/Owner, Head to
Toe Salon 310.338.8689

The following are testimonials from "Emerging As the Butterfly" Retreat
"There really are not words to describe how phenomenal this experience was for me. The work begins the minute
that you make the commitment to emerge as the butterfly. Kimberly has a special gift and is able to (with love) help
you see parts of yourself that you may be too afraid to look at. We laughed and cried and by the end of the retreat
we knew that we were all different women, we had become butterflies." - Tora Brown - www.torabrown.com
"I would recommend this retreat because it helps you to remember who you truly are - Spirit, a spiritual being
having a human experience. The retreat does this through stories, music, laughter, games and connection. It is all the
best summer camps you went to as a child but the lessons are grown-up, eternal and necessary for a complete and
happy life. Do this. You will be thrilled you did." - Cindy Kobler
"I would highly recommend this retreat because it is the perfect place and service to get real. I felt loved and
supported enough to trust this group with my innermost fears, pain, insecurities and secrets. Kimberly is amazingly
connected to the divine and KNOWS what we need. She is giving for our highest and best good, not holding back but
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS exuding unconditional love. There is no experience in my life so far that has
brought me such clarity, healing and love." - Ellen Young
"I recommend this retreat for anyone who needs to believe in themselves, for someone who needs to love themselves
unconditionally and/or who needs to let go of attachments that they have been carrying inside themselves for many
years. I recommend them taking this Wonderful Butterfly Retreat with Kimberly. It is very inspirational!! I feel
alive, I feel free!!" - Ronna Tamburro
"I recommend this retreat because, put simply, I can now let go, forgive and love. I have let go of the past and the
baggage it created. I have forgiven all the people that have hurt me the most, and I have forgiven the most important
person... myself. I am able to love freely, give openly and trust that all is divine. I am reconnected with my divine
self. And I connected with four other beautiful women that supported me in the entire process. Come to this retreat
if you are ready to find your inner beauty." - Keltie
The following are testimonials regarding "The Encounter" for More information click here.
~Dear Kimberly, now that I've played "The Encounter" I realize it is such a very powerful tool to help anyone
wanting to move forward in their life. The input of the game has been with me since I left your office. I really have a
different and much more positive perspective on “where I am headed. I was a little reluctant to try the game and I
really think it was meant that I play the game that very day, it was perfect timing. I'm looking forward to playing
again. I'll give it a little time to apply what I learned so far from the game and then dive in again, most likely with the
same intention. I also wanted to say thanks and let you know I really enjoyed our session once again. I feel a little
stronger and more directed every time I leave your office. I'm so glad our paths have crossed and the direction I'm
going with your help. You earn every dollar I have spent on your services and I very much appreciate your effort
and the dedication you put into what we work to accomplish. I am looking forward to our next session and
continuing to move forward, I'm sure you'll guide me to something perfect, you always have." - Sincerely, Bob~
~"Playing "The Encounter" was truly an amazing experience. I was able to identify a major block in my life and
hopefully from there to move forward to achieve my goal regarding that issue. I also found that later that day I
further identified other blocks regarding that same issue. It's as if the flood gates are now open and there is no
turning back! I also found it to be very enlightening to play the game with other people as I was able to really see
how we're all in this life together...all trying to do the best we can...and that everybody has struggles. I didn't feel so
alone. I am looking forward to facing my issue head on rather than dancing around it. Oh, by the way, there was
laughter and dancing involved (in playing the game) so there was a fun element as well! Kimberly is a great facilitator
as well. She really helped me and the others move through the game by gently guiding us toward what we were
supposed to get out of playing it. I would recommend this experience to anyone. I don't think anyone is immune
from the benefit it can bring to enhance ones life. " - LS~
~"I had no preconceived ideas of how "The Encounter" worked. I knew I was looking forward to the experience.
Kimberly is a MASTER facilitator and really knows how to move the game toward each person's desired result.
That's a huge statement to make when you have completely diverse people in attendance.
I would highly recommend The Encounter for anyone that is ready to dig deep and move forward in their life. The
small group format is ideal for learning and understanding." Trish Grinnell, Melaleuca Representative, www.
saferearth.net~
~"My encounter experience was informative and enlightening on a number of levels. First it was interesting to
participate in (by observing) each player's personal evolution through the game. Experiencing Kimberly's gentle
guidance down the paths that the game directs was a broadening exercise, even when I was not my turn. The self-
reflection that the game encourages is a deep and powerful experience; so much so that weeks later I'm still
processing what I learned. I know one thing for sure, this is something I want to do again and again." - Lisa Dunlap,

~"I believe that we are where we are supposed to be at the time we are supposed to be there. My Encounter session

environment that allows you to find clarity and focus on your true intentions. I would recommend anyone who is
having trouble in any aspect of their life to schedule a session. " - Caslyn Huck www.nvrsettle.com~
~"The experience was awesome. The game is amazing. This is a wonderful tool for anyone truly looking to find
answers to the questions they are afraid to ask or just don't know how to ask. Kimberly Barclay provides a very
safe place to explore the inner world of self."- Tracy Hauser, Re/Max of Santa Clarita

~Playing “The Encounter” with Kimberly was an awesome experience. Kimberly's energy and her love for what she
does shows in her enthusiasm while facilitating “The Encounter” . Kimberly's talent and desire to help people
succeed in life shows as she leads everyone through the game. “The Encounter” is a game to show you what path to
take and/or simple decisions to make regarding a challenge a particular person may have. The results are amazing.
The things you learn about yourself are so powerful, yet so simple. I would highly recommend this game to anyone
wanting to improve any area of their life. It is easy, yet powerful, simple and fun, intimidating but exciting. And I
could play and play and play. It is a wonderful way to learn more about yourself with each roll of the dice. Thank
you Kimberly for a great evening." - Melinda Thomas, Holistic Health Counselor,/QRA Practitioner/ Certified Life

~"Kimberly, Thank you so much for a journey that I went on with The Encounter. The game was incredibly
revealing and allowed me (and the other participants) to engage at our own pace and level of readiness. Although the
event was bound by time, the power and extended benefits of The Encounter (game) are infinite. I love it. The
morning after my encounter, I was inspired to take ACTION and reviewed my game journal (that we created along
the encounter path) and internalized more of the personal game revelations. This propelled me into exponential and
inspirational growth. The benefits of The Encounter keep going and going. Absolutely magnificent. The genius of
this game extends far beyond the momentary flash of the 3-4 hours we played the game. It reaches far past our
conscious limitations and echoes into the areas where we get glimpses of our infinite existence. It’s AWESOME. It’
s hard to explain the power of the game, as words only seem to constrain it’s true glory and power.
I look forward to my next engagement of The Encounter, and I also look forward to sharing this amazing experience
with folks who are ready to glimpse into their own infinite existence through the window of The Encounter. For
those who are ready to reach into the possibilities of their own lives, you must experience The Encounter. A most
sincere, Thank You!" - (Electric) Bill Guthrie- www.Aflac.com~
~"Dear Kimberly, I had an amazing experience playing "The Encounter". What I took from the experience was a new
insight into a troublesome area of my life. I was able to simplify a complex problem and gain tremendous perspective
on how to proceed with my life. I was fascinated by the direction the game took all of the players and graced by the
honestly and open-mindedness of all who participated. I learned as much from watching their enlightenment as my
own. I plan to play again and bring some friends. I know that they will love the experience as much as I did. Thank
you for sharing your passion and love with us." Much love, Char~
~"Hi Kimberly. Thank you for the wonderful and most fascinating 'Encounter' experience. It was truly amazing the
way the cards came up, I really believe the cards revealed our hidden thoughts, even the ones we didn't realize we
had! It's an experience I'd like to repeat. Every time we play I feel we will learn so much about ourselves, our
dreams and maybe our demons that are holding us back from achieving those dreams. I look forward to future
'Encounter" experiences with you." - Julie~
~"Kimberly, Thank you for letting me experience "The Encounter". For myself it was an wonderful way to open
myself up for healing and new beginnings. Thank you." - Maureen~
~"Hi Kimberly, All I can say is Wow!! What an amazing game. I gained so much insight and inspiration.
Kimberly, there wasn't one time when you were off track. You were on target with absolutely everything you
asked and directed us around. Thank you, thank you. I'd like to see my daughter and her best friend play this
game. I'll keep you posted if they're open to playing. See you." - MF~
Dearest Kimberly! This letter comes to you very late, I know! I’m sorry. But, I have good reason. After playing the
game, I wanted to see the shifts in my life unfold. Today, in the New Year, I am still experiencing positive changes.
Thank you. When I met you two years ago at Karen’s place, Balance Point Spa, I was skeptical. But! At that point
in my life, I was already deeply interested in learning about spirituality. I was learning about me. I was becoming
aware. You introduced me to the game. Thank you. You were very patient. When I was finally ready to accept your
gift, two years later, what a gift. Thank you. As much as you tried to explain the game to me, nothing was going to
prepare me for what I experienced. I learned about what an amazing person I am. I learned of all the love and beauty
I possess. I learned about my roadblocks holding me back. And, because of you and the game, I finally have a game
plan towards knocking down those roadblocks. Today I am still processing, learning and accepting me for all that I
am and taking action towards everything that I desire and deserve. Thank you. To anyone who is interested in
playing the game, be ready to be floored in the true game of life! Kimberly, I consider you to be one of my dearest
friends. Thank you. With lots of love, Rosie DiPrima, Chef and Culinary Adventurist
The following is a testimonial for a service I have added for my clients using my gift of intuition and
connection to "source energy", referred to as an Angel Reading. I have been Certified by Doreen Virtue,
Phd.
~"My Angel reading was indescribably perfect from beginning to end. The clarity of how each card spoke to me was
as if I was receiving a full message in 4 parts represented by each card. I have never done a reading before and did
not know what to expect, yet the exactness was a surprise and a blessing. My reading continues to apply to my life
as a I continuously grow, and works as a reminder and guide for interactions with others as well as myself. I felt
renewed, my spirit was renewed as if it had a fresh drink of water. I am a member of Agape, and the combination of
Kimberly and Rev. Michael are the catalysts that have jump-started my life into over-drive. The feeling I felt after
the Angel reading was as if I had attend the perfect sermon, on the perfect day, at the perfect moment." - Love White
