Mind-Body-Spirit support on the path toward wellness and self-compassion

Through Pathwork, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), Ayurveda, and Kripalu Yoga, we can cultivate the awareness, self-kindness, and resilience to live more fully.

Pathwork

Pathwork is a journey of inner transformation. It explores psychology, spirituality, and personal growth through teachings that are accessible. Through themes of self-awareness, emotional healing, relationships, spiritual development, and consciousness, the teachings provide a guided journey of inner discovery and transformation.

Mindful Self-Compassion

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an evidence-based program. Self-compassion provides resilience, allowing us to acknowledge unmet needs and motivate ourselves with kindness. Three key components are self-kindness, common humanity, and mindful awareness.

Self-Compassion for Healthcare Communities (SCHC) A 6-week evidence-based program, adapted from MSC for healthcare professionals — addressing burnout, compassion fatigue, and the unique emotional demands of caring for others. Kimberly’s background as an RN and public health researcher brings both clinical experience and deep contemplative practice to this work. [Learn more about SCHC →]

Kripalu Yoga & Ayurveda

Kripalu Yoga teaches us to use our practices on and off the mat as we learn to access the body’s wisdom. Rather than striving for the perfect pose, Kripalu Yoga uses postures and yogic techniques to reveal our true essence.

Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest medical systems. It originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. It focuses on balancing mind-body-spirit; using natural remedies, diet, yoga, and meditation to promote health. [Learn more about Ayurveda →]
