About Kim

Story continued...

I'd love to tell you that when my mum suggested I had medical trauma from my childhood surgeries, I suddenly became a whole new healed person.

I didn't.

I ignored it and ran away. Because here's the truth: healing is hard. Messy. Painful. And like most people, I didn't want to deal with it. So I waited until I couldn't ignore it anymore.

That moment came staring at the ceiling tiles of accident and emergency after being hit by a car.

My sixth trip to emergency. The one that finally made me face the fact that maybe there was something I wasn't dealing with.

I didn't realise it at the time, but repeating traumatic events is part of PTSD. I was unconsciously gravitating back to hospitals—repeating a pattern that was going to get me killed.

That's when everything changed...

Becoming Scarred & Fabulous...

Recovering from the car crash, I used the time to research everything I could about medical trauma.

That's when I discovered something alarming:

Women are more likely to experience medical trauma than men. But no one talks about it.

Doctors don't account for hormones. Don't consider the past trauma many women carry. Aren't taught anything about the emotional impact of surgery.

And there's nothing designed specifically to help women navigate the emotional aftermath.

So I did what I had to do: I pieced together tools from trauma research, somatic healing, and my own trial and error. Within weeks, I saw positive shifts:

✓ I stopped battling and being afraid of my emotions.
✓ My anxiety faded. I didn't feel like runnning all the time.
✓ I started to feel safe. At home in my body.

✓ Problems that seemed too big to fix became simple
✓ I had more energy. More focus. More lust for life.

✓ My relationships got deeper. I stopped pushing love away.

That's when I decided to become a coach.

Not because I had it all figured out. But because I knew these tools worked—and other women deserved to know they existed.
