I created the Life-Tuning Process™ to help you bring love, awareness and healing where it is needed - in your life and in the world.
about
For over a decade, I was a college teacher and transformative educator for NGOs, teaching and facilitating groups and classes on all things cultural change—communication, psychology, ecology, health, and sustainable development.
At the same time, I struggled to live. After a series of accidents and painful life events, my body made it clear I could not go on as before.
By the age of 29, I was diagnosed with a chronic health condition and registered as disabled.
Instead of working on changing the world, I had to focus on transforming myself. Until I realized that my work had to do with the way the two are connected.
My mission is to change lives by helping people attune to the spirit of love within, and to open hearts to the need for this in the work of personal and collective healing and well-being. To create a more loving life and world, we need to embody the spirit of love.
I learned that our biggest challenges are also our greatest gifts. Pain, conflict & crisis wake us up to a journey of healing that can be the most beautiful of blessings.
When I asked my doctor what I should do about my inability to function normally, he prescribed medication and told me to apply for welfare.
Instead, I searched everywhere for answers. I studied approaches to healing and wellness like yoga and Ayurveda, meditation, nutrition, Pilates, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, and Continuum.
I apprenticed with a bio-energetic body-psychotherapist, healer and sound therapist. I got a PhD focusing on the questions I was trying to answer.
I learned that I was a hyper-sensitive empath who not only cared deeply about the pain of others and of the world; I could also feel it in my body.
Everything that I could not detach from; whatever reality I could not accept; however I could not love what was, as it was, I felt pain.
So I learned to love better – myself, others, the world.
The practice that came out of this experience calls on the power of love to heal, and the strength of our inner guidance to show us how to live more joyful, heartful, healthy lives.
I can show you how. Here are a few more things I learned:
What you should know as a heart-committed human who wants healing and transformation:
- 1. Your work is to learn to love more and to heal within you everything that needs love.
- 2. Your challenges invite you to come out of fear, trauma and stress-based ways of living that limit your ability to experience the fullness of life and love.
- 3. You are being called to come out of mind-based, survival-oriented ways of living, and to live from the heart.
- 4. What you hold and heal in your body is inter-generational, environmental, and social. It doesn't always belong to you alone, but to your family, communities and collective histories.
- 5. You are constantly offered the opportunity to see and experience the beauty, grace and wonder of life.
- 6. You can connect more deeply to life - to your own, to others, to the world and to the larger natural order.
If your life is calling you for something deeper, something more, and you are overwhelmed, unsure of where to start or unable to see the way forward, I can help.
The Life-Tuning Process™ is a practice of self-care, self-healing, self-realization, self-awareness and creative self-expression.
Get support to attune to the spirit of love and grace as the foundation for your holistic well-being. I will help you go within, listen, heal, pray, rest, and connect so you can live a soul-guided, heart-inspired life.
Be the love you wish to see in the world & in your life.

Professional Bio
Kim Hershorn, PhD is an LTP therapist and intuitive mentor. She created the Life-Tuning Process™, a unique way of working with the body’s memory and mindset so we could live less from history and more for life’s new possibilities.
For years, Kim was a professor (specialising in social psychology, culture, communication, leadership and ecology); and a transformative educator giving workshops for community organizations committed to cultural change.
At the same time, she focused on healing from a debilitating chronic condition, learning various mind-body practices and therapies. She grew beyond her work as a yoga teacher to incorporate the approaches that worked best and developed her own. The foundation of this work was what she learned through her mentor – how to listen and attune to the healing power of love within.
Originally from Montreal, Kim is based in Jerusalem from where she works internationally on the interconnections between individual, collective, and land/ecology healing; trans-generational trauma; and the overlapping wounds of our communities’ histories. This work has brought her to Germany, Poland, Ireland, and Northern Ireland.
