Kim's Story

Kim is a Courage and Reorientation Coach who supports others in letting go of their old identity and reestablishing their life after significant change. She has found purpose in helping others to thrive and unshackle themselves from limiting self-beliefs to be the best that they can be.
 
As a wheelchair user herself, Kim is very in tune with what it is like to find a new sense of self when pursuing personal growth and professional success. She has made it her mission to live life bravely, through a lens of freedom and in pursuit of authenticity.
 

“I find ways where there don't seem to be [any] at first glance, and I don't let challenges stop me from actively shaping my life,” Kim says.

 
It is this resilience and courageous outlook that has seen Kim dig deep and find inner strength so as to get back up after many life upheavals. However, she emphasises that ‘courage’ doesn’t have to be something big to have significance.
 
“It can be courageous simply to get up in the morning, to keep going, or to accept help,” she says. “Everyone is allowed to go their own way - without comparing themselves to others.”
 
When she isn’t busy elevating the lives of her clients, Kim enjoys an active lifestyle, spending time outdoors or travelling to experience new cultures, as well as relaxing at cafés and spas. She also embraces her creative side and works as a presenter and actress, adding that “Even with challenges, you can lead a fulfilling, beautiful and active life in your own unique way and, above all, true to your own identity.”
