Hello and welcome!
My name is Kim Knight and I work as a health and empowerment coach. I help you transform from feelings of overwhelm, unhappiness or chronic illness and help you return to your natural state of joy and health.
What a Journey!
Have you heard the saying, "If you want to make God laugh tell him/her your plans"?
25 years ago I had no plans to work as a health coach. None, zero, zip! But life it seemed had other plans for me...
Hitting rock bottom...
In my late 20's I developed depression which worsened until it was classified as 'clinical' depression. I had no idea why and initially went down the common route of trying to treat it with medication. The only problem was, I felt even worse.
I started counselling which began to reveal I was not so happy-a-chappess as I had previously thought. The depression continued and worsened and I found myself in hospital in a deep, dark pit. It was a massive crisis which took several years to completely integrate and understand.
I slowly recovered my health and the depression lifted, but several years later I was came down with adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome: over a period of 9 months I became more and more tired, and no matter how much I rested it didn't seem to get better. One day I walked into work and quit on the spot, I just couldn't go on.
Then the real work of recovery began. For the next 6 years I tried therapy after therapy (I counted up one day, about 140 different therapies) but nothing was really making a difference.
Feeling so ill I thought I might only have a few months to live, I sold my house and set off round the world on a dream trip. I was still searching for answers as I travelled to Egypt, Central America, Europe and USA, crashing en route from time to time with fatigue.
The Turning Point...
After nearly 12 months of travel, I finally found my way to a life-changing experience: during a therapy session the lightbulb moment came and I understood why I was ill. In a flash I was shown the connection between the mind, emotions, body and spirit, and how unexpressed emotions and negative thinking, plus an (un)healthy dose of unhealthy lifestyle habits, had led my body to a state of exhaustion
For the next 6 years I studied a number of cutting-edge health modalities which get to the core of illness and teach one how to become well. Not only did these techniques address the physical body, they also addressed the mind and emotions, because all levels needed to be addressed simultaneously for true healing (which means wholeness) to occur.
By 2006 I was ready to start working again, and it just seemed logical to start sharing what I had learnt because it was so life-changing.
Since then I have continued studies in even more revolutionary health methods and continue to share what I learn with clients worldwide through private sessions and online trainings. I look forward to sharing these with you too so you can transform pain, fatigue and unhappiness into the joy and health you deserve.
My absolute passion is to give people the tools and information to look after their health and wellbeing, physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually (and by the way, they're all connected).
I look forward to connecting soon! And since I work worldwide via phone, webinar or zoom, this can be anywhere in the world!
"I have wanted to write to you for a while now and say to you that I am 100% healthy and have not even had a cold since our last session!! Isn't that amazing. People ask me if I think I actually had chronic fatigue as they don't believe that I could have actually had it and recovered completely in such a short period!! Thank you so much, please know that you have helped to change my whole life."

The comment above was received 6 months after a 6 week program for chronic fatigue.
"The most important thing is that I have learnt to say no. I tell people now if I can't do something and I don't even feel guilty. I feel so free now because I'm really free from that guilt of not helping someone and free from that worry of what they will think, and I don't get offended anymore either. Thanks for everything - I appreciate your help in my life!"

I've learnt to say no without feeling guilty
"Thanks again Kim for all your help, I am feeling amazing and have not had any symptoms for ages, had a normal cold recently and it actually just feels normal and healthy! Whenever I do have anything like symptoms I just deal with them straight away but know that I am healthy and happy."

I feel normal and healthy again.
"My physical fatigue symptoms completely disappeared early on. My anxiety has reduced immensely. Emotionally, I can now allow myself to feel a range of emotions (even without knowing a specific reason behind them). Apart from the obvious lack of fatigue symptoms giving me physical energy, I am able to talk more frankly and express my thoughts more rather than being afraid of what people think of me."

After completing a 6-week program: Fatigue disappeared - emotional freedom instead
"Everything has changed for me since therapy. Although I found out about your therapy only a few weeks after my diagnosis things were pretty bad for me and I was very sick both mentally and emotionally. Now I am back to full health, I have had no symptoms for weeks since the end of the course and even after the first season I notice dramatic changes in my health. Now if I do feel any stress, tiredness, emotion or unease I am able to use the techniques that I learnt to identify what is troubling me and deal with things. I understand now that depression is a depression of emotions not a weakness and an inability to cope. I am able to identify emotions and act accordingly so that I remain in a healthy balanced state, this understanding has been very powerful."
