What Clients Are Saying

Kym is enthusiasm wrapped in brilliance. She has taught me how to use my voice as my power. Through her coaching I’ve learned multiple ways to create emphasis in my delivery, how to strategically use pitch, what our voices say about us, and how to tell a story that gets people’s attention. These skills are useful in every aspect of my business…and my life. As a coach she listens, assesses, and guides with honesty. I highly recommend working with Kym!

What Clients Are Saying

Working with Kym helped me discover my saboteurs and their messaging without judgment or beating myself up. I appreciated Kym’s beautiful questions to guide me and help me move forward rather than sit in rumination or fear. I was able to learn tools and strategies to build my PQ muscles and strengthen my sage powers. I came away from my coaching sessions feeling seen and empowered. Kym thank you so much! This information has not only been valuable to me but to my children as well.
