Kimberly combines 20 years of experience working with others with a Masters of Arts in Theology and Spirituality. Presently she runs her own company offering retreats, workshops, keynote talks and ongoing meditation groups.She is a highly motivational speaker, trainer, minister, developer, companion and consultant (that's a mouthful!), moving comfortably from large audiences, to small groups, all the way to the personally one-on-one.

In her own words:

From a very young age I wanted to experience all that life has for me. Everything from my family to nature to school inspired me and motivated me to ask deeper questions. These deeper questions led me to find out that all our happiness and success is within us, we just have to discover it and surrender to it unconditionally and proactively. This can be easily said, but not always easily done, we are such complicated creatures and happiness alludes us as we chase it!As I grew I wanted to experience even deeper love and passion and joy.

First I worked with the poor but eventually this desire led me to join a group of Carmelite monastic nuns (of the catholic tradition). We lived in North Dakota, eating primarily what we grew ourselves, spending hours in meditation and learning about ourselves, about Spirit and about living in harmony with the world. You would be very surprised at what you learn about yourself when silence, without distraction, is all you have!

From 1997-2001 I became the general contractor of a huge project of building a new monastery in Texas. During this experience, hundreds of great people drew together to give of their time and resources...as more and more shared their stories with me it became clear that the time had come to work with others, to be some kind of instrument and companion that they could find deep happiness as well.I left in June of 2001. Gratefully awarded a scholarship, I continued my formation at the Washington Theological Union in Wash. D.C. I also served as chaplain at Georgetown University during that time.

Upon graduating in 2004, I began active ministry at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Here I led conferences, programs, and workshops. I worked with the community in developing the vision (we are relatively new,) of ongoing growth in spirit. I was quite blessed to work with two great priests, Leo McCarthy, O.Carm. and Lukas Schmidt, O. Carm. and many other committed people. I resigned to begin my new company in July of 2007.In addition I practice daily meditation, exercise, eat healthily, explore music and love to dance. These facilitate my service as Reiki practitioner and spiritual director and minister... We are all meant to be healers in this world, to create a place of great love and harmony- and I am grateful to be a part of that universal calling!
