Kim Pendleton is a powerhouse at the intersection between women's sexuality + trauma recovery who gives women sacred space to unveil their soulful, sexy side—to heal from the past, find their way home, and have more of that juiciness in their lives everyday. Her own story has themes of religious deconditioning, sexual assault and trauma, a messy divorce, and ultimately reclaiming her body. She helps her people be more in touch with their body, reconnect to their partner, have better sex. So many people need her work. It could be for divorced women, married women, for men, and many other situations and life points people are at… Consequently, narrowing down who it speaks to has felt challenging! Can you relate?
