Praise
"David Kirshbaum's gentle spirit puts people at ease right away. I've had the pleasure of experiencing two types of sessions with David, in person and a phone consultation. In both sessions, I was struck by his intuitive abilities, as he instinctively knew what to say and what areas needed the most work. The recent phone consultation was particularly powerful. Through EFT and guided imagery, David was able to lead me deeper into the places where I hide from myself in order to see the truths that needed to be faced for healing to take place. As someone in the healing professions, I recognize the importance of the work he does and would recommend his services to anyone."

"I have experienced healing sessions with David both in person and over the phone. Each time we work together, I find that I come away with an expanded capacity to quiet my chronic pain condition and to soothe my emotional self. In one particularly remarkable session, we addressed a severely distressing nerve pain flare-up that I was having trouble diminishing on my own. With David’s healing guidance and touch, I was able to move to a pain-free state within one session – and the relief has remained well beyond our time together. Over the phone or in -person, I have found David’s method of Empowerment Bodywork to be powerful and long lasting in its results. David is helping me to be less scared of my pain and to believe that complete relief is possible for me."

"All healers have a toolbox of resources that they call upon… David’s gift is in his intuitive ability to draw on his tools and skills in a way that is most effective for each individual with whom he is working. Another wonderful thing about David’s work is that his approach is highly intentional; I have clearly felt that he was approaching me with compassion, non-judgmentalness, gentle humor, and unconditional love during a session. For me, this is an essential component of healing, as we each need that safe space to release the darkest, harder-to-love sides of ourselves. In one session that I have spoken of many times, a current manifestation of abandonment allowed David and I to access grief from the early death of my Mom that I’d been carrying for fifteen years. It was because of that one session with David that I released pain in a much more significant way, and have consequently been able to love myself, my partner & friends, and my daughter on a fuller, healthier level."

"David is truly gifted. After just one session with him I gained a new perspective on certain aspects of my life that had been troubling me. It was a unique, healing, intuitive, inspirational, thought-provoking, and energy-shifting experience. I could physically feel the energy of my body shifting and reorganizing during the session. I would recommend David to anyone wishing to remove emotional obstacles in order to achieve greater balance and peace in their lives or seeking guidance as they examine where they have been, where they are, and where they are going spiritually and emotionally."
~Ellen, working wife and mother
"Feeling cradled and nurtured by your voice during my session with you today. I can't tell you how comforting your voice is. Your warmth and compassion, even over the phone is overwhelming. Going into the session I had a knot in my stomach, but by the time I had my palms and fingers together [at the end of one round of tapping] it had lifted. I felt a release of heaviness in my left leg which I didn't even realize I had. My leg feels lighter & graceful. I feel confident to tackle my challenges with grace & ease, for today.
Thank you."
~J.H., shingles sufferer
"David Kirshbaum is truly one of the most intuitive healing professionals I've met. He is very skilled at listening to his clients and addressing their unique needs, demonstrating not only an in-depth knowledge of various healing modalities but also a respect for the whole person: emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and physical. I have enjoyed getting to know David and highly recommend the valuable services he provides to our community."
~Loni Dishong, founder Women Inspire
"I’ve been getting bodywork for more than 20 years and experienced a number of wonderful sessions in Chicago, San Francisco, and here in Bloomington. However, I’ve never had anyone to “read” my body as effectively as David Kirshbaum. He finds all the places that need working without my having to tell him, and discovers areas that I was not even aware required attention. I highly recommend him to anyone. I also attended David’s "Inner Wisdom Secrets" workshop even though I was skeptical, but because I trust David, I tried EFT for several days. It actually worked. Now, I have a regular tapping routine that helps me keep my energy balanced."
~Janet Cheatham Bell, author, publishing consultant, speaker
“David has an intuitive sense of what your body needs, finding all of the pockets of tension, and bringing relief. His professional demeanor allows you to truly relax and fully enjoy the moments under his care.”
~Dan P., Medical Management Consultant
“I am so grateful to have found David. I am recovering from a serious illness, I use a wheelchair and I have limited mobility. I value and depend on the unique set of therapies David has to offer as much as I value and depend on traditional medicine and physical therapy. I am quite certain that my sessions with David have significantly contributed to my recovery, both physically and emotionally.”
~Lesley D., university administration
“David finds ways to learn about one’s body and life and then integrates different kinds of manipulations that yield new insight, relief and improvement. He’s an engaging, interesting, non-threatening, caring person with much to offer. Each session feels part of an ongoing exploratory and transformative process, and of a higher quality of life.”
~Jordi C., PhD, Professor
"David provides a very clear, loving space for relaxation and healing. His sessions are a refreshingly wonderful treat. He works deeply with a gentleness that allows for comfortable relaxation. His Sound Therapy sessions deeply re-align all levels of personal energy to support more satisfying ways of being. This work can change the most profoundly "stuck" life dynamics. I highly recommend David's work!"
~Laughing Womyn Ashonosheni, PhD, CPIC
“I would (and have) highly recommend David Kirshbaum’s services. Of course, I feel great following my weekly sessions, but what really sets him apart is his personal attention and professional attitude. David truly provides an client-centered approach!”
~Allison Chopra, personal trainer, owner Urban Fitness Studio, LLC
“Immediately I could feel the stress I had been carrying be lifted from my body and dissolve away. David pays special attention to your physical, emotional, and energetic needs so that you gain the most out of the experience. He has very knowing hands and a caring heart to boot!”
~Kim K., non-profit director, yoga teacher
“The energy David wields is pure sunshine!”
