Overall
fitness, yoga, chronic fatigue, and Fibromyalgia

when she started teaching aerobic dance classes.

Such a program can encourage a person to choose
and develop healthy exercise patterns that will
increase confidence and self esteem. At the heart
of this philosophy is the desire to help raise
body awareness and promote healthy lifestyle changes.

I
came into see Kim because I was having trouble
getting up off the floor and I wanted to find ways
to include more strength training in my life.
The programs that Kim developed have really
helped. I’ve been amazed at the weight I
can now lift, without a problem. In
addition, I’ve found that I’ve been inspired
to do the programs, on my own, at home. She
has developed programs that work in my harried
schedule and around my specific needs. Kim
is patient and knowledgeable. I’ve been
amazed at how much I’ve learned about doing
exercise in the correct way (no wonder I kept
hurting myself!). Her friendliness and
the way that she balances kindness with pushing me
to stretch past my fear make workouts with her a
pleasure. I recommend her highly with no
reservations! Claudia

I
have been working with Kim twice a week for over
two years and it has been a great journey so far.
At 62 I was slowly losing strength and balance as
I aged. I wanted to stay fit and mobile for the
activities I love like gardening and playing with
my grandchildren. Kim has a special talent for
designing routines that challenge and teach
whatever one's initial physical condition. She has
had years of experience as a yoga teacher and as a
personal trainer. She teaches one to do the
exercises correctly, thus maximizing gain and
minimizing injuries.
I have especially enjoyed noticing my abilities
and strength increase, for example, I can now turn
the bar which shuttles my grandchildren back and
forth on a little tram at the playground...two
years ago, this was not an option. I can balance
on one leg to get into my jeans and I can get up
from almost any chair with ease. I'm not always
happy to go to the gym at 7am, but I'm always
happy that I did. Martha

I
really enjoy working with Kim. Her laughter
filled, fun way of being, makes the training
easeful and light, while really getting the work
done. She has a way of approaching my
training routines that keeps them fresh,
interesting and most importantly, effective.
I highly recommend Kim to anyone who wants
their workout to be highly impactful and can do
without the grind.

I
recently celebrated my 50th birthday. Because
I've been working out with Kim for the past five
years, I was able to approach this milestone far
more fit and confident than I ever would have
been without her. In fact, because Kim has helped
me become so much more physically focused, I feel
younger now than I did five years ago!
Kim focuses on an individuals needs and goals, and
varies the routines often enough to keep them
fresh. She takes into account the whole person,
with attention to balance, coordination, strength
training, and engaging ones core.
When
I started working with Kim, we had weekly sessions.
With her support, Ive developed the confidence
(and discipline a new thing for me!) to work with
her once every other week, and work out the rest
of the time on my own. She gives good direction
and coaching, and manages to (gently) hold me
accountable. I feel very lucky to have found this
level of expertise and support. |

I've been taking yoga classes with Kim for over
six years now. In addition to relieving stress,
Kim's class has done wonders for building my strength
and stamina. Practicing yoga provides me with
quiet times throughout my week to relax and focus
on how I'm feeling, without distraction.
Kim also worked with me to customize a strength/resistance
training program that I can do at home.
She
instructed me about what equipment to buy, how
to use the space I have, and went through the
routine with me to make sure I had a thorough
understanding of it. Now I can train at home a
couple of times a week without having to travel
to a gym.
Kim
is an excellent and knowledgeable teacher who
always provides feedback and encouragement. I
highly recommend her yoga classes and personal
training services. |

My husband Verlin observed Kim working with her
customers, and was very impressed. He contacted
her to see if she would be willing to work with
me.
Many years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue.
After trying several forms of exercise, I would
usually end up exhausted. Now, after my sessions
with Kim, I have more energy and I love doing
my exercises.
Thank you, Verlin, for contacting Kim for me. |

Over the last year, I've lost 60 pounds - Kim's
weight training program has been a big part of
my weight loss success (along with better nutrition,
walking, and running).
I've been working with Kim since August of 1997,
during this time she has developed several weight
training programs for me. She's always very patient
and listens carefully to my input. I've remained
injury free since weight training, and Kim has
introduced me to yoga which has greatly increased
my flexibility.
I whole heartedly recommend Kim to anyone pursuing
better health through weight training or yoga. |
