TESTIMONIALS
My name is Sarah M. In January of 2020 my daughter left for college, in February of that same year my son left for his 2 year missionary service, and later that same month my dog of 17 years passed. My husband and I were now empty nesters and it was a huge adjustment. In August of 2022, my sweetheart passed away suddenly and now I was facing life completely alone and unprepared. For six months I just kept putting one foot in front of the other trying to adjust, then the finances became an issue and I needed to find work. I hadn’t had a job outside the home since I was in my early 20’s. I was scared and lacking in confidence. I prayed for some kind of help as I faced this new chapter. Within days of that prayer, I saw Kim’s post on Facebook offering help to new clients. I was ecstatic and messaged her right away!!
Immediately upon our first communication I felt at ease with Kim and knew she was just the person to guide me into this unplanned for future. From our initial conversation, I knew I could have full confidence and trust in her. She was polished, professional, and patient. Her questions were well formed and thought-provoking, her suggestions were substantive, meaningful. I appreciated so much her level of respect for my situation and how difficult, even overwhelming it felt to me. She allowed me time to answer, even allowing for long pauses while I thought out my responses. I never felt rushed or pushed. It was a natural, organic progression of conversation.
A specific example of how quickly my outlook changed happened within minutes of our first interaction. I tend to apologize a lot, just for existing and she made one statement that set the tone for every meeting afterward. It changed my entire perspective. She said, “You belong everywhere you are!” I actually made a mini poster of that quote and I think about it everyday. It changed everything for me!!
We tackled mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and even social concerns. She helped me with my lack of confidence, negative self talk, and even helped me with a haunting past mistake. She gave me so many tools that I use daily to handle these and other issues. Kim helped me to realize that taking time for myself wasn’t selfish, it was self sustaining. The healthier I become, the better I can help others.
Now I apologize less, have more confidence, and have even shed a few pounds. I carry myself differently and have found that even though these last few years have not been pleasant or the future at all the way I hoped, I can move forward and not just survive, but thrive. Kim even got me to tap into a dormant creative side, which got me dreaming and drawing again.
I would recommend her to anyone that needs competent and valuable guidance. She has a gift for helping, leading, and listening. Thank you for helping me start this new chapter in my life! Much love for you Coach Kim!!

Effective and Rewarding Experience
I have learned so much about myself after working with Kim. She treated our coaching sessions with respect, care, and insight all while creating a nonjudgemental environment where I felt comfortable sharing everything. Kim was great with identifying themes, causes and patterns of thought that had been creating anxiety and physical pain in my life. She helped me develop healthy strategies for a balanced life. I am more prepared for life challenges and am much calmer, happier and no longer have pain because of her.

Before working with Kim I felt like I was stuck in a rut. I needed help organizing my life. She helped me brainstorm ideas on eating healthier, planning meals, and trying new foods. We discussed ways to get more energy without caffeine and practicing mindful eating.
I really enjoyed the mediation sessions we did. It helped me relax and focus on the task at hand. Kim also gave me tricks to help organize my house and chores so I wasn't so overwhelmed. Also, learning how to delegate chores to family members- which I loved!
Kim taught me how to prioritize my needs. She helped me discover what I needed to motivate myself. I have since started doing more yoga and tuning more into my body.
I would recommend Kim to anyone looking for fresh new ideas and a different point of view on how to streamline their life to make better use of their time.
Thanks

To whom it may concern:
I began working with Kim and was very nervous at first. But she provided such a safe and comfortable feeling it made me just open up with such ease. I blurted out all that was going on in my life and she never once judged me in anything I told her. She listened with no judgement and never once said how she would do it. She allowed me to figure things out on my own but with her guidance and showed me I already knew all my answers. I knew what I needed to do and at the same time gave me confidence on achieving them too. She gave me strategies to use to help me get through situations that I found helpful. She would hold me accountable on things I asked her to. And she also gave me encouragement daily just to remind myself I’m capable of all things. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family. And I look forward in keeping in touch with her after my sessions have finished. Thank you for your time and your help Kim.
