Kimberly Stokes specializes in working with people who hide behind what comes easy for them, who would like to be more congruent so they can live their full potential and purpose.

Clients who have been highly successful in life come to Kimberly because they realize they’re only utilizing a fraction of their potential. Through intuition, 30-years of experience with neuro-linguistic programming, and aligning one’s heart with mind, she helps them understand how their patterns have prevented them from achieving even more in their career, relationships, and health.

She has extensive expertise in ontological design, the nature of existence or being, which began as an apprentice with Cheng Hsin of Peter Raltson’s Apprentice program. She later became a trainer with Cheng Hsin. She now applies this knowledge to cut through belief systems that no longer serve, resulting in the authentic and real experience of self.

Being severely abused during her youth, Kimberly ran away from home at age 14. She lived both in runaway homes and on the streets. She utilizes her street smarts and tenacity incorporating it into her coaching.

Kimberly is sought after for her straightforward and no-nonsense approach that pushes clients to get real about what they’ve been hiding behind, and understand what’s been really getting in their way.

One of Kimberly’s favorite expressions is “today’s breakthrough is tomorrow’s cage,” which encapsulates her firm belief that we must continue to exam our intentions, behavior, and actions or we will slip back into complacency.

Clients say that she is the rare person who is actually walking her talk, leading by example even though she is not perfect - because perfection is not the goal, being authentically human is. She is constantly examining her own patterns and growing as a result because she believes that we’re constantly in a state of the “Becoming.”

Kimberly has 30-years of experience working in the field of self-development starting with NLP (neuro-linguistic Programming) at the Robbins Research Institute in 1986. She soon became a key contributor in the Robbins Research Institute team during his big leap from from serving hundreds to serving thousands.

Kimberly is a certified Tantra Sex Educator through Caroline Muir of the Divine Feminine Institute and energy work through Quantum Touch.

She’s also a student of permaculture in the garden, architecture, and relationship. This gives her the special perspective of being able to see the big picture without losing sight of the little picture. Permaculture’s goal is set up sustainable systems.

‘Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'

'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.

'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'

'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?'

'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.

Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.

But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.’
