Wellbeing Guide
Hey there,
I''m Kim!
Self-Leadership Coach
Creator of the Self-Leadership Method • Karuna Reiki® Master • Certified Yoga, Breathwork, Meditation Teacher • Certified SUP Instructor
• 18 Years as an Elementary Reading Specialist and International Educator
In-person sessions and events are based in Maryland.
I work with ambitious, curious women who want to be excellent at their work, fully present with the people they love, and still have energy left for the adventures and creative projects that light them up. Together, we look at where your time, energy, and money have been going out of habit, so you can start giving where you actually want to give.
After nearly two decades as a teacher and literacy coach, I know what it's like to want all of it: the impact, the depth, the aliveness, and to feel my own capacity shrinking instead of growing. That's what led me to create the Self-Leadership Method, and it's the same intuitive discernment I now help my clients build for themselves.
The moment everything shifted
In 2022, I took a leap that changed my life. After 18 years in education, I realized I’d been living in constant doing mode, always serving, producing, giving.
After returning to the U.S. following five years abroad, I decided to take a year off with no plan and no blueprint, just a deep need to breathe, detach from rigid schedules, and rediscover what actually brought me joy.
That year became a reset I didn’t know I needed. Traveling, reconnecting with nature, meeting new people, and coming back to my yoga mat helped me quiet my mind long enough to hear what my body and soul had been trying to say all along:
Slow down.
A new way forward
What began as rest evolved into a calling.
I immersed myself deeper into practices that bridge ancient wisdom and modern understanding of the nervous system: yoga, meditation, breathwork, and Reiki.
But beyond technique, what changed me most was realizing that healing isn't about perfection. It's about presence. It's about remembering that everything we need already lives within us.
With grace, patience, and compassion, we can stop seeking approval from everyone else and start trusting what we already know.
Yoga was my starting point. It still shows up in everything I do, just less on the mat and more in the subtle body.
How I support my clients
Today, I work with educators, therapists, coaches, healthcare professionals, and healers who are ready to stop "pushing through" and start living with intention and clarity.
Through Path to Freedom, my signature 1:1 coaching program, I help clients move out of cycles of chronic stress and exhaustion and into clarity, confidence, and deep self-trust. Private sessions, group workshops, and retreats offer other ways to work together, each one built around that same nervous system approach.
My sessions weave together somatic practices, energy healing, and practical tools you can use in daily life. It's a whole-person approach. One that helps you feel grounded in your body, clear in your decisions, and free to chase the curiosity, adventure, and impact you're actually here for.
My Belief
You don't need to start over or overhaul your life. You need to return to the steady, grounded place that's already inside you.
Everything I share here is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and live with the kind of confidence that isn't performed. It's felt.
If you're ready to walk this path together, I'd love to meet you.
