A safe and supportive space to reflect, release, and receive.

About Kimberly Reid
Kimberly Reid is a licensed therapist, yoga teacher, and Reiki Master with over a decade of experience supporting individuals on their path to healing and wholeness. As the former owner of a community-based wellness center, Kimberly has facilitated a wide range of holistic offerings, including sound baths, energetic healing circles, and cacao ceremonies.
Her journey deepened after traveling to Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, where she was immersed in sacred plant practices and indigenous wisdom. That transformative experience sparked a personal evolution, guiding her into the work of integration coaching—where she now helps others ground, process, and embody the healing they’ve received.
Rooted in both clinical understanding and soul-centered practices, Kimberly creates sacred, supportive spaces for individuals to reconnect with themselves, clear energetic blocks, and access their own inner wisdom. -
