This week we welcomed Kim Basler a Food Freedom and Mindset Coach spoke to our group about Living in Alignment and Showing up Authentically in our Businesses.
Kim understands first-hand the struggles that come with growing up as a teenager. At the young age of 12 she was introduced to dieting and not feeling like her body was good enough. Although she began in working in the fitness industry at 16 and continues to today (27+ years later) inspiring others to live a healthy and happy life, she had her own personal struggles that suffocated her.
Kim is now actively coaching clients on developing a healthy relationship with food and body image as well as helping them get out of their own way! She addresses dietary changes and meaningful exercise routines as well as helping them discover the root of their eating and body image concerns. This opens up the door to a life with more meaning, fulfillment and happiness. For more information please visit her website, kimbasler.com.
