Midlife+ Women’s Leadership & Well-being Coach
Hi there, I’m Kim.
I coach thoughtful midlife women leaders navigating a stage of life often marked by greater responsibility, deeper self-awareness, and more intentional reflection on how they want to lead, live, and define success moving forward.
Through self-leadership, values alignment, and well-being, I help clients lead with greater clarity, authenticity, impact, and sustainability.
Many of the women I work with are highly capable, deeply committed, and carrying significant responsibility both professionally and personally. They’ve spent years showing up for others, leading teams, supporting families, building careers, and navigating complex demands, and are now beginning to ask deeper questions about what they want this stage of life and leadership to look and feel like.
My work is grounded in the belief that well-being is not separate from leadership; it’s foundational to it.
I’m less interested in perfection or performative success and more interested in helping clients understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their values, and create meaningful, sustainable change that feels aligned with who they are and how they want to lead and live.
Coaching conversations often begin with reassessing values because they serve as an anchor for decision-making, boundaries, relationships, leadership, and overall well-being. Together, we create space for reflection, honest conversations, self-awareness, and intentional action.
My approach is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply relational. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe to be honest with themselves, reconnect with what matters most, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and intention.
In addition to private coaching, I facilitate workshops, retreats, and speaking engagements focused on leadership, self-leadership, and well-being.
I hold a Master’s degree in Kinesiology (MSc) and credentials as an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). I am also currently completing advanced coach training toward my Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential through the International Coaching Federation.
As an LGBTQ+ woman of colour, my lived experience and intersectional perspective shape how I show up as a coach and leader. I understand the importance of creating spaces where people feel respected, seen, and supported in showing up fully as themselves.
If you’re looking for a grounded, thoughtful coaching partnership as you navigate this stage of life and leadership, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
If you are feeling curious about what it might be like to work together, I invite you to book a time to connect during my Office Hours.
I acknowledge that I carry out my work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples – xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
