Story Coaching

Helping women process and share the stories that matter the most—

whether it’s for your business, a TEDx speech, or personal healing.

I’m Kim and I’d love to help you craft an engaging story!

Kim is a wonderful guide and really knows how to create a safe space for people to come together and be vulnerable. Writing my story was a challenge, but we were provided some tools to help us identify all the “pieces of the puzzle” and then weave them together into an engaging narrative. It was both transformational and therapeutic. I am excited to share my story with others.

What's your story?

What's your story?

Since the beginning of time, stories have moved and shaped us. They draw our attention, influence our decisions, and leave us on the edge of our seats.

Whether we realize it or not, our stories also affect our inner narratives. They impact the way we move through the world. These stories determine how we show up at work, grow our business, or cope with a painful experience. 

You have a story or belief within you, one that may need to be released. You’re feeling ready to take that step and you’re wondering how.

At this point, you might be thinking, “What does a story coach do?” As your story coach, my role is to help you engage with your story in a way that best benefits you. I’m here to show you how the really hard parts in your life are what made you the beautiful person you are today—someone who is wise, needed, and has something important to say. 

It’s my goal to help you identify, transform, and share your story with those who need to hear it the most.


Down and Dirty Story Sessions

For Building deeper connections and attracting ideal clients

As a career woman or a woman with her own business, you have a big mission in the world. Part of that mission involves connecting with your audience more deeply. You want your passion to come through, and there’s no better way to do that than through stories.

But which stories should you share?

In this 90 minute recorded session, we’ll pull out two or three unique stories that reflect your true “why” and your deep wisdom. We’ll then shape them so you can share your stories in a way that’ll touch the heart of your ideal audience and attract the clients you want.  You will get the recorded call and a short follow up call to check in with how you are doing.

You’ll leave our session feeling confident in telling your personal stories whether you’re speaking, on a website, podcast, or interview.

Single 90 min. session, recording and follow up for $500.

Story Development Sessions

For TEDx talks and keynote speeches

You have a specific topic you want to talk about from the stage, but you aren’t sure how to turn it into a captivating speech. You may be wondering how to structure the speech or how to talk about something difficult or personal without falling apart.

During our six sessions, I’ll take you through my three-step process of developing a compelling keynote speech or TEDx talk. We start by identifying the pivotal experience you want to share with your audience. We’ll get at the heart and unravel the story and then design it in a way that’ll grip your listeners.

You’ll leave with:

  • Clarity on exactly what to talk about and how to frame it up.

  • A fully mapped-out speech that’ll engage, inspire, and move your audience.

  • Confidence to share something deeply personal that’ll touch your listeners.

From there, you can take your built-out speech and finish writing it out so that you’re ready for the stage. Includes a follow up call to go over final work.

6 90-minute sessions and a follow up call start at $1800.

Healing Through Story VIP Day

For transforming a story from trauma to triumph

When you click the button above, you’ll be sent to my scheduling page to set up a call. Once you submit that, I’ll be in touch so we can schedule a chat. I’ll then answer any questions you have, talk through the VIP day experience, and explain the next steps. Note: VIP days are a full-day experience with lunch and dinner included. They can take place either in Newport, Rhode Island or at a location of your choosing.

Your experiences—no matter what they are—make you into the beautiful, wise person you are today. Are you ready to step into your story?

Life has a way of throwing us into stories that we never expected. Sometimes those stories are heavy and weigh on us. We can end up feeling stuck. This is especially the case if you’ve gone through a traumatic experience or loss.

I have good news—the old stories don’t have to hold you captive anymore. 

There’s a way to process and release the emotions that no longer serve you. This doesn’t mean saying goodbye to the wonderful memories and connection. It means you can carry the meaningful parts of your story without the pain gripping you anymore.

Imagine having a space where you can breathe, work through, and gently let go of stories and feelings you no longer need. A place where you can heal and create new narratives that bring you life.

That’s what you’ll find in the Healing Your Story VIP Day. In this deeply healing and transformative time, you’ll:

  • Relax in a safe environment where you’ll feel supported and held.

  • Process, release, and transform your story of trauma.

  • Participate in curated activities designed to promote healing and encourage the release of unhelpful stories, emotions, and feelings.

  • Let go of what’s making you suffer so you can move forward with peace.

  • Clear away old narratives and develop new, more enjoyable ones.

Your story is unique, so your VIP day should be, too. Together, we design your experience by choosing from the following a la carte options:

  • Guided meditations

  • Journalling

  • Walking in nature

  • Reiki sessions

  • Expressive arts

  • Photography sessions

This is more than just letting go of old stories and their hold on you. It’s about stepping forward in life with greater joy, ease, and hope.

Let’s talk more about how a VIP experience can help you do that.
