Leadership & Career Coaching Chronic Illness Coaching Health Coaching

in my health coaching practice,

I help clients modify their lifestyle habits and routines. This can include starting/adjusting an exercise program, increasing the nutritional density of the diet, reducing and mitigating stress, improving sleep hygiene, improving digital hygiene, and more.

Most health coaching clients are generally healthy and have some level of wellbeing but feel as though there’s room for improvement.

Together, we will:

  • Identify your values

  • Inventory your current habits and routines to identify what’s working and what’s not.

  • Examine areas of stress and develop mitigation strategies if needed.

  • Interrogate limiting beliefs that might prevent you from making the changes you’ve prioritized. Beliefs such as - there’s nothing I can do about the stress in my life, changing my diet is too hard and I’ve failed when I tried in the past, or I only have 20 minutes to exercise most days and that’s not enough time - prevent you from taking important steps to tend your health and wellbeing. We’ll work through them so that you can take the necessary steps to care for yourself. 

  • Identify two-to-three changes you want to make initially and develop a plan (a gentle and flexible plan) to execute them. 

  • Meet regularly to check in on progress, make adjustments as needed, and to identify (and take!) next steps. Ongoing support is available if desired.

Testimonials

Partnering with Kim, I found her to be incredibly intuitive, insightful, open and honest. Her breadth of knowledge about health is vast, both through her studies and personal experience. She is a fabulous coach whose insights helped me unlock some hidden gems. For the first time in my life, I made the emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental connections I needed to change my health. My diet is very sound and nutritionally balanced. My activities are varied and fulfilling. I no longer eat my emotions. And, the best part, in just a few months, my blood pressure and blood levels reflect that health. Even the doctors are impressed! If you are looking for a life coach who will help you find ways to make lasting, sustainable changes, look no further. She's a keeper.

~J.L.

“Kim has been a tremendous resource in guiding me through moving from limiting beliefs, narrow vision, and fear into a life full of possibility, authenticity, and excitement for the future. She gently nudged me into confronting my worst fears with courage and challenged me to mindfully observe, re-think, and re-frame to build confidence and resilience. Thanks to my work with Kim, I’m now taking action steps toward a clearly defined goal and feel more self-love, peace, and joy than ever before. I highly recommend Kim and her coaching gifts to anyone desiring to live a more authentic life!”

~B.K.

“I have a rare chronic illness and Kim is the only health coach who understands what that means and makes me feel safe to exercise again. She has never pushed me past my physical limits like other coaches. Instead, she created an exercise plan perfectly tailored to my abilities and even found exercises that are fun and easy to do at home with simple equipment. Kim is very body positive and loves that my goals are to get stronger and live longer, so we don't even talk about things like losing weight. She's also kind and fun, and I really look forward to our sessions. If you have any type of physical limitation and want to safely improve your diet and activity levels, Kim is the person you should call.”

~N.L.

Working with Kim was life- and joy-giving. She's a ray-of-sunshine coach! During our process, I felt seen, heard, supported, cheered on, and she had powerful insights that helped me reframe some situations in my life and gain much-needed clarity. I always left our sessions feeling excited and enthused about my next steps. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat!

~Dri

I was unprepared for the powerful ways in which Kim's insights would affect me. She has incredible deftness in her work, weaving thought-provoking questions with a quick wit in a way that put me entirely at ease. I walked into our time together so afraid for what may lay ahead in my life, and I am so grateful to Kim for equipping me with the right tools to no longer be afraid of the unknown.

~Helen

Kim really helped me find my own answers to some dilemmas surrounding recent changes in my life. She listened, didn’t judge, provided some alternate ways to look at things, and gave me tools to navigate the transitions ahead. Kim helped me accept that change can be gradual, and I didn’t have to figure everything out all at once. Most of all, Kim helped me see that my thoughts and doubts are normal…they are a challenge, but not a weakness. I greatly appreciate Kim’s compassionate and intelligent skill in helping me sort out out my thoughts.

~Catharine

I started working with Kim at a time in my life where I felt totally overwhelmed and lacking in direction. Her extraordinary listening skills coupled with deep sensitivity allow her to ask questions that really helped me work through a challenging time in my life. She holds a genuinely calming space and helps you to work through what’s blocking you. The tools she gave me to work on in my own time have proved really helpful and have made me feel empowered to move ahead with my life in a more directed way. Working with her has been a real and deep pleasure.

~Petra Moll

Kim is authentic, empathetic, and soulful. After deciding to run 46 miles through the Grand Canyon, I reached out to her for coaching. What I got from Kim was more than just a run coach, but a life coach—she was genuinely interested in my life outside of running too. Kim helped me accomplish my Grand Canyon goal (and a 2nd place finish in a 50k two weeks prior) and facilitated my reconnection with who I am as a runner. For once in a decade, I was in love with the sport again, running for me—running with joy. Kim is a gem at what she does because of what I call her "secret ingredients": active listening (she kept me engaged in conversation in a natural, positive way), freedom within a frame (she gave me a guide book for success but honored my need to flex and adapt), and empathy (Kim cares deeply for her clients—our success is hers). I am grateful to have Kim as a trusted guide in my life.

~Lauren Udwari

From the very moment I met Kim, she has been the inspiration and guidance that I didn’t even know I needed. She excels at problem-solving at work and in life. When I have a new idea or have an issue to work through, she is the best at listening intently and ALWAYS gives a fresh perspective that settles my insecurities. Kim’s compassion for others creates a special bond that makes you feel like you can conquer anything. Her incredible vision and voice are the qualities that can really help others seek what they really want and deserve.
