She will also pursue certification as a Doula, in order to better support minority women through the process of childbirth. Other areas of interest for my career include education and development for naturopathic and alternative treatments and medications. 

 

Kim is  mother of a wonderfully unique 17 year old young man on the Autism Spetrum - Dior. By way of this journey through motherhood, she has become an advocate for her child and others, actively involved in the daily pursuit of opportunities for, and inclusion of,  individuals on the Autism Spectrum and those who support for them.

On the subject of life, Kim believes we are all "Works in Progress". The point is to accept the notion and allow it to be be your motivation. Embrace every step in the process of creating your Masterpiece, understand the importance of being your own Muse. You get to decide who and what becomes a part of your canvas.
