Since birth Kim has always been particularly sensitive to the energy around her, yet very adaptable to her environments.

  As a kid she spent much time playing in the woods making "healing potions" + "talking with animals" where she grew up in the Appalachian mountains near Asheville, North Carolina . She could often be found as a child in her nana's barn taming wild barn cats (which she was quite good at!)

  By nature Kim is a physical + emotional empath + medium. Deeply understanding how our thoughts + actions affect our energy body + our physical wellness. As a child she had a particular wisdom about her + could often intuitively feel the deeper emotions, physical state, + intent of people around her. She has the ability to sense + feel the sensations that others are experiencing in her own body when she connects with someone. She's often told, "I feel like you truly see me + understand me in a way no one else ever has". But growing up in this way she discovered that some people didn't like being seen to this depth. Some people did not take to kindly to young girl telling the truth of what she was picking up on.

  For a time, her intuitive abilities were turned off + shut down due to the fear + conditioning placed upon her as a young child. "What will people think?" was a common fear placed upon her. Kim experienced much of her early life being mis-understood or ridiculed because of the truth she could sense.

  Her intuitive gifts slowly started to come back online in 2012. As an adult, Kim has worked in spas as an esthetician + would often get comments like, "you have such a healing touch" or "you have the best energy"! People would leave the spa in a totally different state than when they first walked in.

  Kim's journey to healing wasn't easy. Like many of us, she faced her own set of challenges, including religious trauma, sexual abuse, + struggles with eating disorders. But through a blend of the very self-healing tools, she now shares with her clients, + with professional support, she found her way through.

This personal experience has not only strengthened her as a holistic nutritionist, intuitive, + energy healer but also deepened her commitment to guiding others. Kim understands the pain + potential suffering life can bring, + she's here to help you navigate your path to self-healing with compassion + understanding through a trauma aware approach.

  "If I can do this, anyone can do this. I want to show others how to do the same. Nothing is compared to the freedom of self-discovery.", she says.

  Kim is an empowering + authentic presence to be around. Even though sessions can run deep in nature Kim always ends up bringing her light-heartedness into the conversion + will probably make you laugh along the way! Kim has this way of making you feel seen + yet has a special ability to meet you exactly where you are without judgment.

  Kim would later found out that intuitive gifts run in her family on her mother's side, + that some of her family members use their intuitive gifts regularly. Even her great-great grandmother, Margaret Corn Bradley, was known for being a medicine woman of sorts in the Appalachian Mountains where Kim grew up. Great-great granny Bradley would help deliver babies, help the sick get better, + help those dying to pass over to the other side. Since most people back then didn't have the means to make the long trip into town to see a doctor, Kim's great-great granny Bradley was able to help those in need + make a living by staying a week or so in the wild to dig roots + peel bark to dry to then be ground into medicine + be brought back to the small town.

  Kim's work has always been with the physical body + the soul's highest, most fulfilling path. She has a deep undeniable body awareness, being able to "feel into" the root cause of the current physical state + intuitively know how the current state of the mind, emotions, + energy fields are affecting a person's physical body. Her success as a nutritionist + ability to help many people across the globe to transform physically, is attributed to her deep intuitive understanding that has guided her throughout her practice.

  Kim can be found in her free time recharging + connecting with friends/family, enjoying a spa day, cooking, doing a workout, or spending time in nature with her husband + her dogs.

I'm not the healer. My job is to simply be the conduit in your self-healing journey.
