“The secret to having it all is knowing you already do”
I help women who are looking for a unique, one of a kind healthcare experience. I blend Ancient Healing Traditions with the expertise of Western Medicine to bring you a holistic experience that you will not find anywhere else.
I offer healing programs for a small number of women so that you get the one-on-one individualized attention you deserve.
I graduated from Rush Medical College in Chicago over 25 years ago as both a pediatrician and subspecialist in adolescent and young adult medicine.
My own complicated story of trying to be a SUPERWOMAN, living outside of alignment, and not trusting my deep truth was a set up for illness.
I also was dealing with unresolved emotional trauma. underlying genetic predispositions, fast food, not enough time, too much work, not enough play, and very little sleep.
This eventually resulted in the development of an autoimmune condition and hormonal imbalance that lead to years of needless suffering and surgery that could have been avoided had I known better as I trusted the doctors within the western medical system.
Our Medical System is Broken
I developed gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy due to the severe stress, poor diet, and profound sleep deprivation as a 2nd year medical student, working over 100 hours/week. Later, during my second pregnancy while in fellowship training, I went into pre-term labor and my daughter had to be delivered early due to the chronic stress I put her through as I powered through ridiculously long work days, trying to keep up in a toxic, male-dominated, patriarchal work environment that did not support me.
Things only continued to get worse, I developed Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and gluten-sensitivity and was told by the “medical experts” taking care of me to simply ignore it! That there is “nothing to do” and eventually after my thyroid burns out…get on medications for life.
I had to learn how to help and heal myself as the medical system is unfortunately built upon keeping people sick and on medications and not helping people find the root cause of their symptoms. It offers no real solutions. I discovered how to reverse my conditions, balance my hormones and completely remove all gluten and dairy from my diet to reduce inflammation and get back into balance.
I eventually came to understand that I needed to walk away from the model of medicine that no longer served me or my patients in order to step into who I really am: A supportive and understanding partner in your journey back to wholeness.
I realized I could help my patients in a much deeper way by leaving the constraints of conventional medicine and opening my own healing practice. I needed to release my anger and disappointment towards a system that failed me and my patients and I needed to figure out a way to creatively blend 25 years of intense medical training into a new healing model that delivered the results my patients were seeking.
I completed my training in Functional Medicine along with additional training in Women’s Health and Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Integrative Medicine, Cellular Medicine and Advanced Peptide Therapies, Advanced Nutrient Therapies, Ayurveda, Mind-Body Healing, Dharma Coaching, Flower Essence Therapies, Essential Oils, Vedic Medical Astrology and Counseling, Breathwork Techniques, Energy Psychology and Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), Meditation Training, Spiritual/Soul/Life Clarity Coaching, Homeopathic and Bio-Energetic Medicine, and Sound and Vibrational Medicine. In addition, I became a certified Shamanic Healer and completed a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I am currently pursuing deeper instruction in Kundalini Yoga. I am also trying to learn the Croatian language!
I have a thirst for knowledge and I am a perpetual student and I continue to train and receive mentoring from experts in Functional, Integrative, Energy, and Mind-Body Medicine.
Through my personal journey of advanced education and certifications I was able to discover the missing information I needed in my own health reclamation. I ultimately learned to heal my body by:
- Addressing the blocks in my energy
- Healing unresolved emotional trauma
- Changing my diet
- Working on my mindset and belief systems
- Removing myself from toxic relationships and situations
- Healing my gut microbiome
- Learning to speak the language of my body and giving it what it needs
- Finding my dharma and living my life’s purpose
- Dancing, smiling, loving and laughing more often
- Sharing my knowledge with my children, family, friends, and patients
When my youngest sister passed away in 2020 after too many years of being victimized by a medical system that does more harm than good, my resolve was intensified to do better, learn more each and every day, and be an advocate for those who need a doctor on their side.
After my last child began college, I made the decision to relocate to Colorado and rebuild my life with the man who gently holds my heart.
I am busy networking with colleagues and forming partnerships with holistic healers so I can bring you the very best in all healing traditions.
I plan to be the type of physician that I have always longed to see and have yet to find for myself…
I am honored to bring my decades of medical knowledge and the healing arts to my own clinic here in Colorado.
Join me in this intimate boutique-style health sanctuary where we focus on healing by learning to trust our intuition, listen to our bodies, remove blocks in energy, heal emotional trauma and open to awakened consciousness by rediscovering our true spirit and following the wisdom of our soul.
I look forward to journeying with you,
Dr. Kim
