Do you feel like you're living the life you truly want? It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and lose sight of our true selves. But fear not – this workshop is designed to help you identify the barriers that hold you back and give you the tools you need to move forward.
I learned that traditional self-improvement often fails because it fights the very parts of us that learned to survive. By blending somatic awareness with parts work, I found a way to honor these protectors—the Relentless Nurturer, the Watchful Gatekeeper—and understand their fears. This allows your core, Wise Gardener self to gently take the lead. My work is about creating a compassionate inner council, so you can move forward with alignment, not internal conflict. It’s the missing piece to lasting change.
Your inner critic’s voice is louder than your own.
You feel a gap between who you are and who you know you can be.
You prioritize everyone else and feel you’ve lost yourself.
You want to lead from compassion instead of reacting from fear.
I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma coach who specializes in guiding you to gently and compassionately reconnect with your whole self—body, mind, and spirit. With advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), NeuroAffective Touch, and the Biology of Trauma, I don’t just teach techniques—I create a sacred, judgment-free space where transformation becomes possible.
Deep Integration of Modalities: I uniquely weave together somatic awareness, parts work, and nervous system science to help you access and heal what talk therapy alone often can’t reach.
Held with Reverence and Skill: My clients consistently describe my presence as deeply attuned, precise, and safe, allowing you to explore your inner world with confidence and gentle curiosity.
No, this is a coaching and educational experience. While the work is deeply therapeutic and can lead to profound personal healing, it is not psychotherapy. I am a coach and educator, not a licensed psychotherapist. Coaching focuses on personal development, building skills, and achieving future goals through education and somatic practices. Therapy often focuses more on diagnosis and treating mental health disorders. If you are experiencing a severe mental health crisis, please seek the support of a licensed mental health professional. This experience is designed for those who are fundamentally stable but feel stuck in old patterns.

Your safety is my top priority. This is a skill-building group, and a core skill we focus on is regulation. I will guide the group in somatic tools and resources to help you manage activation in real-time. The container is held with care to minimize overwhelm, and the focus is always on your agency and choice. You are always empowered to participate at a level that feels safe for you.

You always have a choice. While sharing and witnessing are powerful aspects of the group experience, you will never be put on the spot or required to share anything you are not comfortable with. You can participate and benefit immensely through self-reflection and witnessing others.

Anita found freedom from the past
Kimberly helped me realize that acknowledging my childhood pain didn’t mean my parents didn’t love me—it meant I could finally comfort the young parts that were still hurting. This acceptance created space for completion and integration that years of talk therapy never reached.

Faye connected with her True Self
Kimberly’s guidance helped me discover that my True Self emerges when I attune to all the parts trying to be heard. Now I can identify when it’s a part having a reaction and respond from my core self—something I never achieved through traditional therapy approaches.

Jeni experienced sacred, somatic healing
What sets Kimberly apart is her sacred approach to the healing space. She operates with such deep reverence for the process that I felt completely safe exploring material that had remained out of reach. Her exceptional attunement creates real physical shifts that validate internal healing.

Your most authentic year begins with one courageous step. Reserve your spot now and start building a new relationship with yourself.
