Healing Happens In Connection
What if healing your stress patterns and protective parts required the power of connection—not going it alone?
What if true healing required not just understanding your stress patterns, but safely connecting with others to release what holds us back so you can step into the life you’re meant to live?
From Isolated Struggle to Connected Healing
Adopting traumatized children shattered my engineer’s logical world, revealing how my own protective parts kept me stuck in relational storms and self-doubt. Through Somatic Experiencing, IFS parts work, and Biology of Trauma training, I learned to befriend my body’s wisdom while holding space in community for collective release. This shifted me from battling overwhelm alone to guiding groups toward authentic self-expression and boundary-setting. Now as faculty in trauma programs, I witness profound transformations when we heal together. My path proves: connection amplifies the wisdom our bodies hold.

For Those Who Carry Others’ Burdens While Feeling Disconnected From Themselves
You’re likely someone who manages everyone else’s emotions while wondering why your own body feels like a stranger. You might be a caregiver, educator, or healthcare worker who can stay regulated at work but collapses at home.
You’ve tried quick fixes, but they don’t address why you startle easily, feel constantly tense, or automatically scan for threats even when safe.
You sense that true calm requires listening to your body’s signals but don’t know how to begin that conversation without judgment. You’re ready to stop fighting your nervous system and start befriending its intelligent protective patterns.

Meet Your Guide
Hey, I'm Kim!
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this workshop therapy?
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.
What if I get emotionally triggered during a session?
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.
How much do I have to share with the group?
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.
Testimonials
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.
