Rooted in Growth
Coaching for kids ages 8–14 who are struggling to be heard — and for the families who love them.

"I'm not here to fix your child, because there is nothing wrong with your child."
That's why KIMA exists. I coach kids ages 8–14 who are struggling with confidence, big emotions, or feeling like nobody really hears them — and I work with their parents too, because when a child learns to name what's going on inside, that growth needs somewhere to land at home.
Kids who act out, shut down, or seem "difficult" are usually kids who don't feel heard yet. My job is to help them find the words for what's already inside — and to give you the same language, so the whole family grows together.

How It Works
One-on-one coaching for kids ages 8–14 — a safe space with someone who listens without judgment, and real tools for confidence, emotions, and finding their voice. Sessions are built around stories, conversation, and hands-on activities — not lectures.
Parents aren't bystanders here. You get the same tools and language your child is learning, so what happens in our sessions gets reinforced at home instead of accidentally undone.
"He learned that he matters. That he's important. And that he can talk about how he feels."
