About Kimberlie

The short version . . .

I’ve traveled through immense challenge, healing, and initiation to reclaim my life. Now I’m here to help you get to the core of your one-of-a-kind potential and all the stuff that gets in the way of you being all that you can be, so you can weave your medicine into the tapestry of your communities, of earth and of spirit, of life itself.

And the longer version . . .

I was born in the prairie lands of central Montana, alongside the Missouri River near five waterfalls and a clearwater spring rising through an ancient aquifer. My bones carry the memory of Druids and storytellers, of Christ and the Marys. My spirit carries initiated wisdom from the Andes, Tibet, Nepal, the British Isles, Scandinavia, and Tuva. My true voice is the voice of earth and spirit as one dynamic process of wholeness. My heart’s been stretched strong by trauma and grief, and while my childhood pattern was to disappear from the world, I always found a way through the fire like the Phoenix in the crest of my original last name. I grew up in the diverse terrains of New Mexico, Texas, New York, California and southern Illinois. I now live in Colorado on the edge of the Colorado Plateau, near the confluence of the Colorado and Roaring Fork rivers, where I’m inspired by Mt. Sopris, Mamm Mountain, Storm King, and the Grand Hogback. My feet love finding the rhythms of earth, wherever I am.

As a child I was plunged into the fragmenting effects of trauma early in life, which had the effect of popping me up and out of my body – out of the world of nature and human connection in search of safe haven in Spirit. And Spirit always responded with grace, opening windows, doors, and grand gateways for reconnecting as I grew up and left home. Along the way, I discovered that true spirituality requires deep roots in nature and humanity. Seeking healing and answers to big life questions, I explored Christian mysticism and metaphysics, Buddhism, Tantra, Castañeda, Watts, Wilber, Native American wisdom, and more. I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling, became a certified Master NLP Practitioner and an endorsed member of the Core Transformation Trainers Association, and owned a successful private psychotherapy practice.

I grew up in the diverse terrains of New Mexico, Texas, New York, California and southern Illinois. I now live in Colorado on the edge of the Colorado Plateau, near the confluence of the Colorado and Roaring Fork rivers, where I’m inspired by Mt. Sopris, Mamm Mountain, Storm King, and the Grand Hogback. My feet love finding the rhythms of earth, wherever I am.

But none of these experiences met my deep longing for freedom and wholeness. Eventually, the opportunity for formal initiation in the Andean medicine traditions presented itself, primarily through Shaman’s Light™ Initiation and Mentoring for Your Genius, (MartiSpiegelman.org) and through travel to the Sacred Valley and mountains of Peru. The core organizing principles of life, the universe, and consciousness itself form an important part of that training and initiation, and are integral to my work with others. I have also worked with shamans of Nepal, Tibet, and Tuva.

Additional training – much of it through Shaman’s Light ™ — in Visionary Skills, Luminous Awareness, Visionary Craniosacral work, Conversations with Light, the evolutionary nature of dreams, and trauma resolution through an energetic lens — help to flesh out the resources available for us to draw on in our work together.

Along the way, I also authored two books, Reclaiming Wholeness (Letting Your Light Shine When You’re Scared to be Seen) and Walking in Wholeness (Women Reclaiming Authentic Passion, Purpose, and Power).
