FACILITATOR
MEET KIM E. BACCIGALUPPI
Having worked as a Clinical Hypnotherapist since 1992, Kim’s work has consistently focused on helping individuals overcome anxiety, fears, phobias, addiction, PTSD, and depression. Over the years, she began to recognize a common thread woven through nearly every client’s story—a deep and often unspoken yearning for one simple yet profound thing: to feel better. This realization was not only observed in her clients, but also mirrored within her own inner inquiry.
Beneath each struggle, Kim identified recurring patterns rooted in early childhood experiences. Emotional wounds created vulnerabilities that evolved into self-preservation strategies and an inability to effectively manage painful emotions. Over time, these unresolved wounds manifested as emotional reactivity—patterns that, without conscious healing, continue to follow individuals into adulthood and shape their relationships, behaviors, and sense of self.
With more than thirty years of experience working with individuals affected by the symptoms of emotional reactivity—and through deepening her study of the connection between trauma and reactive patterns—Kim developed The Emotional Reactivity Soulution™ (ERS). ERS serves as a powerful vehicle for helping individuals recognize and heal the protective patterns shaped by early experiences, ultimately transforming emotional reactivity into self-awareness, emotional regulation, and soul-guided living.
After observing how widespread what she calls the cycle of reactivity had become, the creation of an integrative program blending psychological insight, somatic awareness, experiential learning, and soul-centered practices became a natural progression of her work. Through this approach, Kim empowers individuals to respond with intention rather than impulse, cultivating emotional resilience and authentic connection with both self and others.
Grounded in spirituality, ERS Soulution™ bridges the human self and the higher self through a continuous integration of education and experiential modalities. The direct benefits of the work include emotional autonomy and the integration of mind, body, and spirit—offering an enduring sense of calm and inner steadiness designed to intercept emotional reactivity. The byproducts are equally profound, encompassing shifts in personal identity, relational dynamics, and communication patterns. Participants develop emotional literacy, nonviolent communication skills, and a grounded presence rooted in authenticity and compassion.
Earlier in her career, Kim was inspired to develop a comprehensive curriculum titled SoulWalk in Sobriety™, specializing in addiction relapse prevention. This program has been integrated into mental health tracks as well as residential and intensive outpatient addiction treatment settings, facilitated in both individual and group formats.
Kim’s passion for group facilitation began in 2005 when she created and implemented a nine-month high school outreach program called Teens for InnerPeace, serving at-risk students within the Los Angeles Unified School District Continuation Program at Duke Ellington. Designed to build self-respect, effective communication skills, and violence-free relationships, the program was highly successful. Students learned to assimilate positive coping mechanisms, manage negative emotions, and develop anger management skills.
Her commitment to education and public awareness also led her to host and produce eleven cable television programs on Time Warner Communications titled Your InnerPeace Connection, addressing topics such as negative self-beliefs, domestic violence, hypnosis, pedophilia, family intervention, and generational addiction.
At her core, Kim’s role as a mother and grandmother has further deepened her commitment to guiding others toward emotional healing. These relationships continue to remind her that transformation begins within—and that the greatest healing unfolds through the relationships that teach love, forgiveness, and resilience.
