Somatic Coaching
1hr - $125
Somatic Coaching blends mindfulness practices, breath work, relaxation techniques, prayer, meditation, hypnosis and Hakomi (body-centered psychotherapy). This powerful combination offers clients an opportunity to replace pain and suffering with awareness and healing. As we nurture healthy alignment between mind-body we explore the unconscious beliefs and habits that hold you back from living the life you CRAVE. This form of coaching is highly recommended for clients wanting meaningful and sustainable change so they can share with the world the most Confident, Competent, Capable, and Calmest version of themselves.
Safety is not the absence of threat but the presence of connection.

What clients are saying...
"Kimberly has always shown the utmost integrity, accountability and professionalism. Recommend her HIGHLY"!
"Kimberly-THANK YOU for the physical and emotional healing that took place in one session".
"Kimberly embodies what is best about the practice of Hakomi. She is fierce and tender and able to invite parts of me that often remain hidden and very frightened to come out into the light of presence and love. Her ability to attune to the body and to use what the body is saying to find a path toward healing is extraordinary. She also knows how to be still and to wait and listen for what wants to happen rather than try and make something happen. In short, I felt safe and held by a strong and loving practitioner who I knew could handle whatever I brought forth. In a world where so many health practitioners have hearts that are bound by a fix it mentality, a need to do something mentality, it is so refreshing to work with someone who is willing to journey with you through the labyrinth of healing with an unbound heart, with a heart that is unafraid of touching the pain of being human, and who trusts that healing is an organic process that happens when pain and suffering are embraced by presence and love.”

My Story of Experience, Strength, and Hope.
One Sunday morning in June, while elated and exhausted from running my first marathon, I received some devastating news. My husband learned he had an aggressive form of cancer and needed immediate treatment. Just a few days prior, we bought our dream home and thought we were on our way to making our dreams come true. As a highly sensitive person my elation quickly turned into sheer terror.
What is often portrayed as a ‘Kodak moment’ in the movies, became a moment of destruction, separation, and confusion. As my husband shared his test results with me, I yelled out “f*%k” and crumbled to the floor. We didn’t hug, hold each other, cry, or feel anything together. It was such an odd moment that became telling later.
Unbeknownst to me my beautiful world was unraveling. While my husband underwent intense chemo treatment, never missing a day of work, he consumed excessive amounts of alcohol and drifted farther and farther away from our family and marriage. As the main caretaker for two young boys and a sick husband I became angry, confused, and overwhelmed while living in our dream house that didn’t feel much like a dream home anymore.
Toward the end of his chemo treatment, I was confronted with my own breast cancer story. Since my boys already had one parent with cancer, I believed I didn’t have the luxury of taking any chances with my diagnosis, and underwent the recommended treatment.
Before having the BL mastectomy, I held an intervention, asking my husband to get sober so he could take care of me as I did for him. Unfortunately, alcoholism is a selfish disease, often interfering with one’s ability to show up for others in a meaningful way. After deep disappointment, resentment, anger and hurt, I decided it was time to separate and rebuild a life for me and my boys that was nourishing, calm, safe, reliable, and loving.
We walked through a lot of loss in a short period of time. Some losses were expected, and some came as huge shocks. Nonetheless, I persevered determined to do well by my boys and find our way through to higher ground.
Looking back I know I did not do everything perfectly, but I have a deep peace knowing I did it perfectly enough. My boys are thriving and the connection we share is legit.
In order to change my life’s trajectory, I committed to deep healing for me and my boys. To thrive I leaned into my pain, made unconscious habits conscious, AND released beliefs that caused us suffering. I developed self-care rituals, daily prayer & meditation practices, and a life that revolved around health and well-being. I worked with multiple therapists, healthcare providers and created community with like-minded people.
My healing work required walking through the trauma of:
-
Divorce (mine and my parents)
-
Single parenting
-
Bulimia
-
Sexual abuse
-
Emotional Neglect
-
CPTSD
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Anger/Rage
-
Codependency
-
Loving and leaving an addict/alcoholic
-
Loving and leaving a narcissist
-
and living as a HSP-Highly Sensitive Person (https://hsperson.com)
Twelve years have passed, a river of tears shed, and many naps taken. With years of weekly personal therapy, Al-Anon meetings and 27 years of acquiring certifications/training, as a Body-Centered Coach, Hypnotherapist, Craniosacral therapist, massage therapist, energy healer, and Hakomi therapist, I am honored to be in a place where I can pay it forward and journey alongside other HSP women navigating through similar circumstances.
Loving, leaving and unraveling from a narcissistic alcoholic was no easy feat. The manipulation, rage, anger, and struggle I faced when separating from this personality type is THE most painful, challenging, devastating, and longest marathon I will ever run.
And yet, the opportunity to come home to myself and fiercely show up for my boys through this struggle has been a beautiful gift. My competence, confidence, capability, connection, curiosity, and inner CALM came from this journey.
I have finally forgiven myself, and my ex-husband, for what we couldn’t do and the suffering we caused our boys and each other. I am elated to be FREE from that burden and deeply grateful for the lessons.
May you also find a steady and safe path of healing, a community of like-minded people and authentic connection with your kiddos as you come home to yourself!
Peace and blessings,
Kimberly
