★★★★★
“I wanted Kim’s coaching for my business and success mindset, as well as creating a clear vision. “Since working together I’ve had lots of insights into issues that might have been holding me back. My confidence has soared. I now see myself more as a business woman, with a clear idea of where I want my brand to go. As a result, lots of new business (and life!) opportunities have come in, including our first paid brand partnership worth £4,000. I have always felt comfortable talking about anything and everything, without judgement. She’s incredibly supportive.”

“Kim is an expert in helping you to refocus your priorities and look after yourself. Her caring approach helped me to get some much needed headspace as I navigated a difficult relationship and was seeking a greater work-life balance. “I’m so much happier now, with a new partner, having launched a business and finally moving to the countryside.”

She is a superstar!”

“Having Kim as my coach and mentor proved invaluable. I not only grew my confidence to stand up to my boss and state my self worth, but later landed a great new job in a totally different industry. “I genuinely don’t think I’d have done it without the coaching she gave me. I cannot thank her enough”
