I spent many years of my life disconnected and disassociated from myself and my body. In healing from my eating disorder, I learned to come back home to me and really tap into the magic and wisdom that lives within. Now I get to support other women in claiming this for themselves. Through 1:1 coaching sessions and embodiment practices, I support women in reconnecting to their truth, power and intuition, enabling them to truly live the life of their dreams. https://kimberlygiesin.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090836664115 https://www.instagram.com/kimberly.giesin/ https://www.onepercentbetter.ca/
