ABOUT KIMBERLY

The place in which I'll fit will not exist until I make it.

A versatile writer, workshop facilitator, editor, and creativity coach, she’s passionate about nurturing the imaginative spirit and helping others reveal their own inner wisdom. She left the practice of law some years ago to focus on motherhood, community work, and creative pursuits. 

 

A graduate of Stanford University and UC Davis School of Law, Kimberly is an Amherst Writers & Artists affiliate and serves on its board. She is a trained and authorized facilitator of SoulCollage® and Guided Autobiography, and holds certifications from The Center for Journal Therapy, The Center for Intentional Creativity, and The Path Meditation.

​

Kimberly enjoys day spas, rose gold, and flared yoga pants. She’d love to use words like harbinger, liminal, and zeitgeist in a quick, saucy comeback. Kimberly trusts in the magic and mystery of miracles and synchronicity, and believes that everyone is creative and has unique gifts to share. She lives in Southern California with her husband and three children.
