Meet Kim!

I am a student of human evolution and personal transformation, asking the big (scary) questions and discovering ways to thrive in hard places.

​Currently, I am a mindfulness facilitator and program coordinator for Integrative Health and Healing at the Graduate Institute of Holistic Studies in Bethany, CT.

​I began practicing meditation in 2004 when facing a chronic illness. Learning the practice not only helped me alleviate physical pain; it began a transformative process of healing and growth in all areas of my being. Favorite spiritual teachers are Jon Kabat-Zinn, Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chodron, Adyashanti, Krishnamurti, and Tara Brach.

​I have an M.A. in Consciousness Studies and a B. S. in Chemistry and have also studied at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Art.

As a coach, I work with people navigating change or coping with difficult challenges. Together, we partner in a process of inquiry and creativity to open space where insights can enter and new options emerge.

​Common areas of work: Mindfulness Skills, Overwhelm/ Burnout, Stress Reduction, Chronic Illness, Recovery/Living with Addiction, Creativity, Self Confidence/Agency, Divorce/Separation, ADHD and Habit Change
