About

I’m Kim, an MD-turned-wellness coach ... and I've spent the past 20+ years cracking the code to a life of limitless energy and unstoppable confidence (inside and out).

And I want to share everything I've learned with you.

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.

ONCE UPON A TIME

I was a family doctor who had pursued a calling to make the world a healthier place and create a successful career for myself. It felt like I had achieved everything I'd ever wanted. Until it... didn't anymore.

I was thoroughly burned out. I was disillusioned with the healthcare system, frustrated and limited by conventional medicine, and — as a mom of two young boys — my priorities had shifted, big-time. I longed for a career that gave me professional fulfillment and personal freedom.

People said I was crazy to walk away from medicine. Colleagues didn’t understand what I was talking about, and friends were concerned and worried for me. 

I felt lost, miserable, and trapped.

It was time for a change.

Then I finally found my purpose in the world of wellness coaching.  

Once I discovered the incredible world of health & wellness coaching, I felt like I could breathe for the first time.

I pivoted to coaching and quickly became obsessed. I learned everything I could — not just about coaching my clients and helping them live healthy lives in a way I never could as a doctor, but also about business, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Then, after building a successful career for myself as a coach, I discovered a way to help even more people.

I found myself in a position to help other women become successful wellness coaches just like me. I created the Wellness Coach Academy to offer others the pursuit of an amazing career where they have freedom, fulfillment, and financial independence ... all while making the world a healthier place.

But with all these pivots and successes, my ultimate mission has always been to help EVERYONE live healthy, beautiful, vibrant lives. So whether you are here to join me at the Academy and build your business, or whether you are here for real advice for living fully and completely in whole-person wellness, I promise to share every aspect of the world of wellness in a balanced, simple, and compassionate way.

I'm so glad you are here to share in my journey ... as I am always here for yours.

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.
