Retreats
I had the pleasure of meeting Kim during a retreat in Peru in the summer of 2019, and her calming energy and wealth of knowledge in the healing space left a lasting impression on me. Though Kim was a participant like myself and not leading the retreat, her intentional words, movements, and offerings made a significant impact throughout the week.
During a challenging moment at a Temazcal ceremony, Kim graciously shared a practice with me to calm my fight or flight response, allowing me to fully participate and embrace the sacred experience. Her guidance and support were invaluable, and I carried her teachings with me long after the ceremony ended.
In Houston, I had the opportunity to attend a vibrational sound bath healing co-led by Kim. Her nurturing presence and thoughtful practices led us through a deeply cleansing and healing journey, culminating in a profound sense of relaxation and renewal.
From Peru to Houston, and in all the spaces where Kim is present, whether in person or virtually, her expertise and genuine care shine through. I am grateful for the impact she has had on my journey, and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow with her guidance.

Attending a retreat led by Kim feels like entering a vortex of magic. I've had the privilege of doing three retreats, each with its own unique focus, and every experience has been equally enchanting. Kim is an amazing guide, gently leading you toward what you need most. After each retreat, I've emerged feeling more deeply connected to my soul and my authentic self than ever before. I continue to schedule a yearly retreat because I'm consistently amazed by the transformative experiences. With each retreat, I uncover more layers of my soul. Kim is truly a master of her craft. If you ever have the chance to go on retreat with her, don't hesitate—your soul will thank you.

Growing up in the country I was determined to live in the heart of a city, surrounded by people, creativity and energy, keeping me safe from the wild, unpredictable unknowns of my past that were hidden safely in the deep woods of East Texas. On a trip to New York I ventured, with friends, on a hiking trail outside of the city where I became irate at a waterfall, loud, uncontrollable and literally spitting on me, I embodied my four year old self having a full on meltdown and immediately gave myself a strict time out from my friends and from nature. After this jarring experience and self imposed punishment strategy, I decided to go softly on a personal retreat with Kim through the diverse terrains of New Mexico. Each day Kim created a new adventure and new pathways for me to discover who I truly am and to face the unknown, the wild, the unpredictable parts of self. I worked side by side with Kim, her drum, the water, rocks, trees and the wildlife to heal the old maps of the past, forging new networks within my body, psyche and my confidence. Kim effortlessly guided my soul through the variations of the land as it mirrored the work that wanted to be brought forward. I was healing a lifetime of fear, hidden anger and loneliness. With each step into the unknown I became braver, my body became stronger and I could start to listen to the sound of my own heart's compass. Just like the trees grow I did too.
