Hi there. I’m Kimberly. Glad to meet you here.
I am a PMDD coach and consultant, a doctor of psychology, professor of marriage and family therapy, psychotherapist, mom, and wife, among the many other roles I play in my life.
My love in life is helping others alleviate suffering in any way, shape or form.
I know intimately the struggles that come with surviving PMDD and through my own journey of navigating those struggles, along with my education and training in the realm of wellness, I have created this program.
It is my hope that no one feels alone on this path, whether you are just embarking on it or have been on it for some time, I hear you, I see you, I’ve been there.
My Story
Overwhelmed by emotions, uncontrollable panic, and the fears of losing everyone I love. Suffering in silence when I was told I was “just” PMSing and needed to get myself under control, or told by medical professionals that what I was feeling was “normal” and happens to “some women.” Arched over in physical pain, feeling like a shell of a human… every single month.
This was my life for over 20 years…
Until one fateful day, after years full of debilitating suffering and acceptance that I was just broken beyond repair, someone said to me, “it sounds like you are struggling with PMDD.” THIS. This was one of those moments where I could feel the depravity of what was about to begin, where I knew life was never going to be the same again…PMDD…
The name was familiar but I had no idea what it was or what it meant. I had been a mental health practitioner for several years at that point in my life and it was baffling to me that I did not know of this incredibly significant term and just how far reaching it was. In my studies it was brushed over in a fleeting moment and grouped under “women’s health issues.” It also blew my mind that I had gone through so many years of my own suffering and never had someone in my medical journey bring this up.
What was going on??
I had to know more… thus began my journey of understanding myself and my experience on a far deeper level AND the determination to make a difference in the lives of women who struggle with PMDD.
On my journey I came face to face with all that was hiding in the depths of my experience with PMDD: my anxiety, my fear, my inner critic, my deep rooted wounds…my self. It was not pretty. It was filled with confusion, pain and loss. But with it came a chasmic learning, beyond what I could have ever imagined before the fateful day I learned about PMDD…. I rediscovered who I was, I learned to love myself, my whole self. I learned to rewrite my story and to change my life with PMDD. I learned to conquer what felt like insurmountable obstacles and gather the confidence and strength I needed to manage my monthly battles.
And it all led me HERE, to what feels like a deep sense of purpose and calling. To share what helped me in my journey with other women who are feeling lost, hopeless, and stuck in the unconquerable fears.
I made it…I am on the other side of what can feel like an impossible journey. I want to help you on your way to the other side. You are not alone, you are not broken beyond repair, you are not lost.
You are HERE, exactly where you are meant to be and YOU ARE READY.
Let’s Begin…
