Her passion lies in helping women like you reclaim your inborn confidence, health and well being. Kim is not like most health coaches and personal trainers, though. She's not a one-size-fits-all guide. Her specialty is taking a complete look at what's going on in your body and emotions prior to assigning a solution to you. Why's that? Because every woman is different. Not every diet or fitness regime is going to work the same for every woman. She has learned through trial and error that the human body is both precious and complex. And sometimes, even the most well-intentioned experts do harm when they don't take into consideration all of the factors at play within a woman's body before giving their recommendations.
