Meet Kim

As a former competitive dancer and gymnast, medical sales rep for some of the largest medical companies in the world, personal trainer, health writer for the esteemed Aspen Healthy Planet magazine, host of the VoiceAmerica.com podcast “Raw To Radiant”, guest chef at the Cooking School of Aspen, pageant title holder, and mom……health and wellness has been part of my entire life.

​

In 1999, my daughter was born unable to sleep, crying inconsolably, and with rashes on various parts of her body. I was told the crying was colic and it would go away. It never did. I was also told to just put her in a crib and eventually she would get so tired that she would cry herself to sleep. My mother's intuition told me it was something else. After taking matters into my own hands, and doing my own research, it turns out the rashes were from food allergies and her inability to sleep was because she had obstructive sleep apnea due to her tonsils and adenoids being so large they blocked nearly all of her airway. When I would lay her down to sleep on her back, the tonsils and adenoids would relax back completely blocking her airway preventing her from breathing. Her inconsolable crying was from being an exhausted and irritated baby. Had I let her cry herself to sleep as was suggested to me, she would have most likely died from self asphyxiation.​ After no sleep for 5 years for either one of us,  her tonsils were removed remedying one of the problems. The second problem was from food allergies.

​

In response to these two health issues, I dove into two careers...medical research and natural foods. I created Idella’s Natural Gourmet, one of the first gluten-free organic cookie companies that made delicious cookies for people with food allergies and sensitivities so my daughter could have something healthy to eat. Later, I opened "Nur-ish ", an organic raw foods co-op that served delicious organic raw foods including various types of ceviche's, carpaccio, raw dairy deserts, as well as some raw vegan selections, all the while committed to my daily yoga practice, volunteering at our school, and raising a daughter.

​

In 2011 my daughter and I moved to Los Angeles to give her an opportunity to try her hand at acting. One summer, she went to summer camp where she fell out of a bunkbed during her sleep. From that day forward she had severe headaches. We had countless visits to the emergency room where on one visit she was put in the psych wing of the ER and told the pain was all in her head. Again, a mother's intuition told me it was something else. A visit to a pediatric neurologist ended with the same results...the options of a prescription for an anti-seizure medicine, or high blood pressure medicine, and a recommendation to send her to a psychiatrist. Once again, I knew it was time for mom to take charge. I spent days online researching her symptoms until I found the cause. She had a cerebral spinal fluid leak which was verified with an MRI by one of the top neurosurgeons at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

​

I have been given a gift of an ability to help diagnose and resolve challenging health conditions and have learned that all disease, if you get to the root of the problem, is caused by toxicity and deficiencies and are usually a combination of both.  

​​

I was born and raised in Flint, Michigan and have had the good fortune of living in various parts of our country where I have learned from some of the best in their field. I currently work as a health consultant where I teach people to stop blaming bacteria, viruses and the microbes in the world for their health conditions and start taking personal responsibility for their health by detoxing their body, mind, and the environment they live in.

​

Viruses do not cause pandemics. The toxic world you live in does. I am also a certified yoga instructor, and ordained minister.
