Hear from the parents and students who’ve experienced the transformation

"‘Miraculous’ might be a slight exaggeration—but it’s darn close."
Before coaching with Kim at Guiding Minds, I was struggling with self-esteem and executive functioning challenges that held me back. I had spent years trying to figure things out on my own, without real progress. Working with Kim changed everything.

She was spot-on in identifying exactly what I needed to move forward, and she guided me with a mix of deep care and meaningful challenge. What truly stood out was how intuitive and educated she is — and how genuinely invested she was in my success.

Now, I’m setting goals on my own, something I used to avoid entirely. I finally believe I can change, and that there's hope for me after all. If you’re feeling stuck or skeptical about coaching, I’d just say: it’s working for me — and it can work for you too.

"Working with Kim was unlike anything we’d tried before. She didn’t just offer surface-level advice—she took the time to truly understand our child, digging into the why behind the behavior. That changed everything.

Kim went above and beyond to create a plan that met our child where they were, and helped us show up with more clarity and compassion. The shift in our home has been remarkable—less tension, more connection, and a sense of peace we hadn’t felt in a long time.

Her insight and care made all the difference."

"Before coaching with Kim at Guiding Minds, I often found myself overwhelmed—struggling to slow down, truly listen to my kids, and understand where their behaviors were coming from. My confidence as a parent was low, and I was battling issues like self-esteem and executive functioning, both in myself and in supporting my children. I had tried counseling and doing things on my own, but while it helped me manage my reactions, it didn’t give me the tools or insight I needed to really connect with my kids.

Working with Kim was a game-changer. She has an incredible ability to pinpoint what’s really going on and guide you through it with wisdom, compassion, and strategy. Her coaching was deeply personalized—tailored to what I needed most to succeed.

Since starting with Guiding Minds, everything has shifted. My relationship with my oldest child has improved—we talk more, and he notices that I’m more present and truly listening. I have more patience with my youngest, and while parenting still has its moments, my reactions are calmer and more grounded. I'm even setting goals for myself—something I used to struggle with—and I finally believe that I can create lasting change in my life and family.

This journey has been nothing short of empowering. It gave me clarity, confidence, and hope. I used to wonder if real transformation was even possible. Now I know it is. Kim challenged me, encouraged me, and genuinely cared about my growth every step of the way. If you're feeling lost or unsure about whether coaching can help—do it. Kim is intuitive, incredibly knowledgeable, and more supportive than I ever imagined.

“Life-changing” might sound dramatic, but it’s honestly not far off. I’m beyond grateful."
