Words can not even describe how happy I am with the service I received from Kim at Lions Heart! She is thorough, informative, clean and a perfectionist. I am someone who has to fill in my eyebrows every single day due to sparse hair and patches missing. Another thing that bothers me is my eyebrows are a light blonde brown color but my hair is red. I came to Kim in hopes to have perfect eyebrows and I am so impressed and ecstatic at the results! I can’t wait to see when they are healed. If you are looking to get permanent cosmetics microblading or microstroking done on your brows this is 200% the place to go! Thank you Kim for working your magic on my crazy brows!!!

First, I should say that I have never liked the idea of permanent makeup. This experience totally changed my mind. I’m a natural blonde and dye my hair black. Having to draw on eyebrows every morning was a pain and they never matched. If I wanted to go without makeup for a day, I still had to eyebrow myself or I just looked weird. Kimba was wonderful and really took her time getting the right shape for my face. It was a relatively comfortable process and they looked great right away. It’s been a month and they look perfect all the time! If I want to go without makeup, I can and my eyebrows look fantastic! If I’m wearing makeup, I can powder them in a bit and the shape is perfect and consistent every day. I’m so incredibly happy I did this! It saves me at least 15 minutes in the morning. Fantastic investment!

What can I say besides KIMISFANTASTIC!!! She took my eyebrows from typical blonde«meaning the more sun I get the more they disappear» to the most perfectly symmetrical set ever. I couldn’t have drawn them better! Kim is so patient in working with you to get them exactly how you want. She is wonderfully professional and efficient! If I could rate her higher I would. I trust her 100% and would definitely recommend her.

I had an incredible acupuncture experience with Kim Peraino. She’s exceptionally smart, put me at ease. We worked on treatment for some chronic back and neck pain, stress management. I slept really well after my cosmetic/facial acupuncture treatment. I can’t recommend Lion’s Heart enough! Thanks, Kimba Kimba is now also offering permanent makeup, microblading eyebrows. I just received this service and I’m loving the results. My brows are defined, symmetrical, and Kimba is wonderful to be around. No pain, all gain!

Kim is a healer. I was fighting Bells Palsy and after just 10 days I am fully recovered! She answered all of my questions, helped ease my anxiety, and gave me a great meditation thought during the process. I highly recommend Kim!

Just had an excellent first session with Kim for neck and shoulder pain as well as a stuffy nose. I walked out deeply relaxed, with increased range of motion in my neck and significantly reduced congestion. Kim has a lovely, calm demeanor that puts you at ease, and her office is very cozy and inviting. Highly recommend.

I have been seeing Kim for years for both facial rejuvenation & general acupuncture. She is fabulous! She is sweet, professional and very knowledgeable. I feel like she always listens carefully to my needs. As soon as she starts a treatment, I feel relieved & relaxed. I can feel my face firm & tighten during the facial rejuvenation treatment. And I can immediately see the results! I would definitely recommend her to any one. Thanks, Kim!!! =D

Um I am still in awe of my experience with Kimba for my first ever accupuncture session– I have to admit that this has always been one of those treatments I was intimidated by because in my minf the idea of allowing someone to put needles in me and leave them just seemed crazy and extremely painful — The reality was my body actually liked having the needles in at the different places she put them and her space felt so safe and clear — That night after our session was the best sleep I have had in a loong time I am a single mom so I haven’t gotten the best sleep in a couple years — However that night wow I knocked right out and went into a super deep peaceful sleep — the following day I felt so peaceful and clear and like spae opened up within me I havent felt that in a really long time and it inspired me to choose to come and see Kimba on a regular basis and make accupuncture a part of my life to support me in the growth and healing I am committed to for my life so I can change the things I need to change and move forward !!! Sooo grateful for you Kimba!!! xoxoxo

I saw Kim this week and felt incredible after leaving her office. I’ve had chronic congestion due to environmental allergies for years, after my first session I felt clear and refreshed. I’ve gone other acupuncturists in the past, but my experience with Kim made me feel completely at ease. I will definitely be back for more!

I have been seeing Kim for 5 years now and continue to be amazed by her expertise in facial acupuncture, facial rejuvenation, especially for my eyelids. They are more open and I have friends tell me how wonderful my skin looks. Always professional, her office is clean and soothing. I am looking forward to her new place !!!

Kim is smart, pragmatic, and refreshingly straightforward in her approach. She does acupuncture without the woo woo, Chinese medicine without the impenetrable mystique. Equally talented at cosmetic and physical ailment acupuncture, if you find yourself in Kim’s office, you’ve found a real gem.

Going to Lion’s Heart is a choice for those of us who want real, effective, balanced and down-to-earth *results.* The attention to aesthetic detail that Kim has is a true gift. The cosmetic acupuncture treatments that she gives are gentle and effective. You will feel and look better when you leave, period. At the core of the Kim’s cosmetic treatments is also a true foundation of knowledge and medicine without the need to rely on fluffy woo-woo concepts. You can’t get any better than that! Highly recommend!

As an acupuncturist myself, I have seen many other practitioners, and I can tell you that Kim is an acupuncturist’s acupuncturist. She’s extremely thorough, knowledgable, smart, and very polished. She has a wonderful bedside manner, and such an amazing eye for beauty in general, which translates into a very elegant needling style with extremely effective results. I have always felt so much better leaving a session with Kim. She has a very sharp mind – doesn’t miss a thing, and is very humble about it. I trust her with all my health issues, no question. I always feel like I am in such excellent hands when she treats me, because I am. Thank you so much for everything, Kim!

Kim is awesome, super-friendly and knowledgable. I have chronic tension headaches, tmj, and myofascial neck pain. I’ve had much better results from her acu treatments than from chiropractic or massage. Unexpectedly, acu is MUCH less painful than massage therapy for my conditions. I also tend to faint very easily but have had no problems with acu with the thinnest needles. I would highly recommend seeing Kim for any similar issues. I’ll also be visiting her when wrinkles start appearing ;)

I had never tried acupuncture before, but wanted to give it a try. Like all new things I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Kim made me feel super comfortable and walked me through everything! I was already fairly balanced, no major problem areas, but carried a lot of stress in my upper back and neck area. She asked all the right questions to pin point exactly what I needed and what would be most beneficial. Now that I found her, I won’t go anywhere else. I can’t wait for my next appointment. The more I learn about how much it can help my life in multiple ways, the more excited I get.

I’ve experienced chronic hip pain since a car accident in April 2012. After seeing a chiropractor and physical therapist I decided to give acupuncture a try. After my first session with Kim, I woke up with zero pain in my hip! For the first time in a little over two years I’m walking around without having to take pain meds for breakfast. Thank You!
