You have spent years in and out of cycles feeling good or bad based on your size, how many miles ran and how thin you look next to your friend in that photo. You do the “right things.” You follow the plans and do the work, but you still end up feeling bad. You want to finally stop letting all the BS food and body stuff that’s been going on since elementary school gym class get in your head.
You want to feel good in your jeans.
You say you need to stop eating “junk.”
You can’t have food in your house because you will “eat it all.”
In The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf states, "A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history;
a quietly mad population is a tractable one.”
We control our bodies as a way to control the chaos.
We control our physical size to be “good” to do the right thing.
For who? at what cost? how long has this gone on?
How many generations do we keep passing on having a bad relationship with food and being afraid of taking up space? All so we can look at a photo of our self and decide we are valuable based on our arm size? I get it - the urge, satisfaction, accomplishment and finally feeling good enough when it is that way for a short period. Is it worth the cycles you keep going through?
What would we have time, space and energy for if we pivoted and stopped chasing the size we were before we were told our body was a problem? What would be possible?
You want to not feel bad if you have to weigh yourself.
You love all the body positivity stuff. It’s what you would say to other women and young girls.
You struggle with wanting to feel good in your body, but don’t know what that means other than losing 50 pounds.
You don’t want to keep feeling the way you do about food and your body now.
You don’t say it out loud, but the thoughts still creep in about how you aren’t good enough and there is something wrong with you.
I get it and I’ve been there many times. Since 2014, my work as a coach has been focused on working with people on their food, body, movement and self worth. There are other options outside of trying to be smaller in every way you show up. There are other options that consume less of your time, money, energy and cycles of beating yourself up. I am here when you are ready. There is no perfect body and way to move or eat.
“Kimberly is a fabulous coach on health and body issues who speaks real truth to the diet industry and all the crap which makes us feel bad about ourselves”
“Previously, I tended to have this all or nothing type thinking which usually means I got nothing done. I’m still working on this skill but it is 100 times better than before ”
“The way you frame movement and health has helped me make shifts in the way I exercise. I’m grateful for your inclusive framework and calling out the bullshit of diet & fitness culture. Thanks for your support and attention - you are a gift!”
“She is excellent at cutting through the BS - whether it’s outside pressures or personal excuses. Kim is easy to talk to and has a way of making you think of your issues in a new light. I recommend Kim to anyone struggling with indecisiveness, insecurities, eating issues, and those feeling stuck in a rut.”
“I am more in peace with my body and the way I look.”
How a coaching session works and next steps:
Book a one time session or book a package of 10 sessions to be used within 6 months of your first call.
Complete a questionnaire ahead of time if we are new to working together.
I review prior to our call where I will show up ready with questions, worksheets (if that’s your thing) and a plan to help you move towards change.
At your day and time we both join a private zoom call. Everything is fully customized to you. We can talk about your week, events coming up, I can lead the convo or you can.
You walk away from the session feeling seen, heard, understood, clear, focused and with a plan for next steps.
My email is open to you between sessions.
If you are interested in 10 sessions, but want to jump on a quick call for a vibe check, let’s do it.
“You were able to get to the point within our first hour which is pretty amazing as I know I have a tendency to ignore talking/thinking about things that are too difficult to face. While sometimes, they might not be so difficult with a little help. I like your approach, your style and let’s not forget your language which allows me to say f*ck and s*it when I need to!”
“I am learning to do what I want and need to do! I’ve had moments when I wanted to feel GOOD and didn’t and wanted to be OK and wasn’t. I’m finally now learning how to take things slower being OK with OK (remember your advice from our call - really sunk in!) and most importantly self care - I never realized how I was putting everyone and everything way ahead of me and not taking care of myself. ”
We might talk about:

How to enjoy fitness and come up with an actionable movement plan you actually enjoy.
How to stop hating looking at yourself in the mirror.
How to navigate medical appointments and weight conversations.
How to handle food when dealing with medications or chronic illness.
How to have conversations with your kids about bodies, food and weight when you are activity working on your own.
How to prepare for situations (vacations, weddings, shopping) where you are paying more attention to your body and have more of a desire to restrict or control.
How to stop thinking about how many calories are in foods because you learned the exact number and points value in weight watchers in 2003.
