About
Helping people reinvent themselves — from the inside out.
Enneagram 3, type A as they come... I live for good coffee, am always planning our family summers at our home in France, and happen to believe that 80s music is the best soundtrack for a good run.
I’m Dr. Kim Foster — a former physician turned author, speaker, and creator, on a mission to help people understand one simple truth:
Lasting change doesn’t come from what you do. It comes from who you believe you are.
For two decades, I sat in exam rooms treating symptoms — exhaustion, anxiety, burnout — and realized something deeper was missing.
We were fixing bodies, not identities.
When I finally walked away from my medical career, it wasn’t just a professional pivot. It was an identity shift.
That decision — both terrifying and liberating — became the foundation for everything I teach today.
True health isn’t just physical. It’s about alignment — between who you are on the inside and the life you’re living on the outside.
From Medicine to Meaning
That insight led me to create the Wellness Coach Academy, where I helped hundreds of women launch meaningful, freedom-based careers as certified wellness coaches.
And now, as I expand my work into the science of identity and personal transformation, my focus has grown beyond wellness — to helping anyone redesign their life from the inside out.
Because when you change your identity, you change everything.
At first, I didn’t know what came next. I was burned out, disillusioned, and unsure of who I was without the white coat.
But as I began exploring the world of wellness and personal development, I discovered something profound:
Today
I teach frameworks and tools for identity-based transformation through my YouTube channel, online programs, and upcoming book, Redesigning You: Change Your Inner Story, Transform Your Health (Greenleaf Book Group, June 2026).
My work blends psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience to help people unlock a more aligned, empowered, and purpose-driven life.
Whether you’re here to reignite your energy, redesign your career, or rediscover who you are — I’m here to help you get there.
An average Tuesday these days: walk my kids to school, go for a run by the ocean, settle in to my home office to do the work that absolutely lights me up.
