Backround:

Kimarie started in the fitness industry 18 years ago and has worked in every aspect of the business. Teaching classes, working with children, nutritional programs, internal body cleansing, personal training as well as being a General Manager for many years. There came a point where she realized that there was more than just the physical body that needed addressing while working with her clients. She always felt this yearning for more.

Kimarie quotes: "As a child the understanding was that we got what we were given. Some people were just more blessed than others. Maybe even luckier. It seemed that some people had everything come so easy to them while others struggled every step of the way. These beliefs still very much exist today. Many people share this type of thinking or conditioning. For a very long time this thought process has not rung as truth for me deep inside. I used to ask myself how only certain people were dealt certain cards and others were not? Whether it be disease, unhappy or unhealthy relationships, low paying jobs or circumstances that continually fall apart. I found it quite challenging to accept and digest the concept that we do not have choices that would effect the quality of our lives. I have pretty much always had strong faith. However, with that being said I still wondered how certain people would be chosen for a life of suffering or be plagued with disease and misery, while others lives seemed to be happy and effortless.

So in my early twenties my search for the answers began. I felt this strong calling beneath my unhappiness. To reach for more in life for my two children and I than mere survival. To actually go after (or better open up to) what was tugging at me for some time… my truth. I felt a yearning for meditation although I was not sure what it was. The only thing I knew how to do was pray (more from a begging standpoint.) So rather than co-creating my life. I was hoping that one day when I was good enough my number would be selected too. The more I started to listen to the pulls from deep inside of my heart the more I was directed to find the methods that would teach me to open up to a whole new way of thinking and being that has greatly impacted every area of my life.

Now after over Eighteen years on this journey it has become a great passion of mine to show by example and educate people the ways to have an amazing quality of life with meaning…no matter what.

Think about this for a moment: If it is noble to suffer then my question is why did the most noble of our people stand in their power, strength, conviction, love and peace no matter what was going on around them? In fact they almost made it look easy. Such people like Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa as well as Michael Landon, Christopher Reeves, John Lennon and many others. All of these people lived their passions with heart, in truth, right until the end. Each one of them touching and inspiring so many lives and leaving their own legacy for all to learn from rather than wallowing or settling for mediocrity. All of them faced major challenges but in spite of that stayed inspired to live out their mission with passion.

I have come to the conclusion as simple as it may sound, that everything can be solved from a place of truth and love. Even when the answers to the issues at hand may not seem clear. We are either in one place or another. Our hearts or our heads. Being in our hearts is our universal connection to all. It is where all the answers lay. It is when we go into our heads that we lose touch with our center and truth and lose balance. So there is no space to be open to the answers. I have found the best way to touch and inspire others to be in their truth and power is first lead by example rather than preaching. The trickling effect starts there. That can change peoples lives from a world that may feel like Hell at times to living in a state of peace and joy, no matter what is going on around them.

My real passion is to help bring people to the awareness that they can create an amazing life, regardless of what comes their way. More importantly help them identify and nourish the things that make their hearts sing. Then they will find their true passions and desires which allows that sense of freedom we yearn for. From this space there will no longer be a need to control, struggle or trying force things to go our way. I believe that is what life is all about."
