ETHOS
Your life, all of your life, is your path to awakening.
By resisting or not dealing with its challenges, you stay asleep to reality. Pay attention to what life is trying to reveal to you. Say yes to its fierce, ruthless and loving grace.

hI, i’m KIM
My philosophy is: That love is the path to healingThat it is possible to create the life you want, but it will require growth and change.That we need to enquire into our thinking and cultivate discernment.That true wellbeing is only possible when we consider body, mind, soul and spirit.That it’s vital to cultivate resilience and strength to live well in a world that is deeply challenging.
I have a wealth of learned and lived experience. I’ve been a student, a corporate leader, a classroom assistant, a full-time Mum and a therapist. I’ve experienced trauma, I’ve grieved and continue to grieve those I’ve lost, and I continue to learn about myself and my capacity to meet life as honestly and openly as I can.
I have learnt, and have witnessed in others that it is possible to suffer and yet find a level of peace, joy and contentment within life. Not by holding on, but by relinquishing the very beliefs and attitudes about yourself and life that no longer serve you.
I've been an holistic therapist for the last fifteen years and my job is to create enough space, safety and guidance so that you can find what you need within yourself and within life.
Only you can take responsibility for your own life. What I offer is an informed and a supportive framework as you discover what you’re really looking for.

HOW I CAN HELP SUPPORT YOU
My Experience
The roots of resilience... are to be found in the sense of being understood by, and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned, and self possessed other.¹
Working with you
Every client is an individual and has their own unique path. My job is to tune in, listen deeply, and support you on your journey towards true health.
Finding joy in life
Joy seems to me a step beyond happiness. Happiness is a sort of atmosphere you can live in sometimes when you are lucky. Joy is a light that fills you with hope and faith and love.²
personal & spiritual growth
Learning how to truly be present in our lives requires discernment, humility and a willingness to take responsibility for, and to trust your own process. With courage you can find your way home.
TRAUMA
Feeling free to know what you know and feel what you feel within a broader context of love, without becoming overwhelmed, enraged, ashamed or collapsed.³
GRIEF
Giving sorrow a voice. The grief that does not speak knits up the o’er wrought heart and bids it break.⁴
