About Kimberly Charest, RN, BSN, CYT
I've been a registered nurse since 2002 and I've cared for and helped heal thousands of people, ranging from 23 week gestation micro-preemies to "super adults". I care for all my patients and clients as if they were a part of my family.
My own experience as a mother has inspired my work.
For 2 decades, I spent all my time and energy doing everything for my family and I felt like that was the 'right' thing to do...
martyr myself for the sake of others.
I felt like I disappeared from my own life and forgot who I really was or what I wanted for the last 20 years.
Through a LOT of inner self work, I found that many non-medical modalities were helping me greatly and I wanted other people to experience them too.
I knew I was being called to something much bigger than western medicine. So I trusted myself and I have worked tirelessly to become a certified meditation and Pranayama (breath work) practitioner, certified yoga teacher, flower essence practitioner, certified Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) coach and a Reiki Master.
I combine my extensive holistic health knowledge to guide individuals on their path to inner peace, fulfillment and self-discovery.
On a personal note, I have 2 adult children, a wonderfully supportive partner and 2 absolutely spoiled dogs. I was trained as a classical ballet dancer and taught for many years before retiring from the dance world.
I love traveling, organizing anything, hosting transformative retreats and planning and officiating weddings!
