Hi, I’m Dr. Kim…

As a professor and educator focusing on cultural change, I knew I needed to go deeper. I was also struggling with my health, delving deeply into what it means to heal, and studying every mind-body approach I could. 

I learned that healing isn’t intellectual, or just a mind-body thing. Every challenge in our lives asks us whether we will go into fear and survival mode, or whether we will open our hearts to its gifts, to life’s goodness. 

Will we allow love and forgiveness? Will we let go, trust, and be hopeful? Will we live our lives from the inside out or will we let external factors define us?


Be the love you wish to see in the world and in your life.

My mission is to change lives by helping people attune to the loving spirit of life within, to discover more life-nurturing ways of being, and to open hearts to the need for this in the work of personal and collective healing, well-being and transformation.

Kim is an educator and former professor focusing on the connections between individual, ecological, cultural, and social wellbeing.

Her work as an LTP therapist brings together intuitive counselling, trauma-sensitive somatic body work, narrative therapy and sound therapy.

I just feel better about everything
