Since I was a little girl, I have always felt a magnetic pull towards being of service. I was 10 years old when I first realized how much I loved working. I shoveled driveways, and mowed lawns, sold Christmas trees. Earning my own money was empowering to me and gave me a sense of purpose. I started my first business in my early 20s. I drew my hand on a piece of bristle board with my contact information, and Kim’s Helping Hands was born. I started by doing odd jobs, and before too long I was painting and decorating lots of beautiful homes in my area. I had contracts for apartment building renovations as well as painting new homes. I had a built a large clientele, taking care of their cottages and homes on a regular basis. I never realized that it was my positive energy and the way I made people feel that kept me busy.

After about 19 years, I found a new passion in becoming a Naturopathic Therapist, receiving my Naturopathic Licence in 2009. My new clients would say that my energy was infectious and that they felt better just being around me. I so enjoyed providing a service that made my clients feel well but also gave me so much pleasure and fulfillment. My new work and passion, helping people, was allowing me to grow as a human being. I noticed the challenges and experiences my clients had, mirrored my own life! I took this as a sign that I was answering my life’s calling.

During my work as a Naturopathic Therapist, I have been given the opportunity to speak at Corporate events, Wellness Expos, Wellness Retreats, Professional Development for Public School Teachers, local High Schools and Community Colleges, as well as Nursing Homes.
