Make Your Mind a Sanctuary

So many people right now are struggling with racing thoughts and worry, feeling overwhelmed at work and in relationships and about the state of the world. I’ve taught hundreds of people traditional mindfulness and compassion practices, and can help you learn to steady your mind and regain a sense of balance and ease with difficulties and joys.

The ultimate goal of meditation practice is freedom from stress and struggle, and reconnection with our beautiful qualities and deep wisdom. My approach demystifies painful sensations and emotions, allowing you to deeply understand—without abandoning—all aspects of yourself and your experience. You’ll develop self-compassion and confidence to engage skillfully in all circumstances, learn to make beneficial choices, and cultivate a loving relationship with yourself and others.

You might benefit from working with me if you’re:

Frustrated with the endless and seemingly unstoppable chatter in your mind
Feeling burned out or overwhelmed by the news and social media
Interested in investigating the real nature of your heart
Curious about your mind and perceptions
Keeping busy in order to avoid upsetting feelings or thoughts
Want to be good and do good but don’t know how to start
Willing to commit to a daily silent meditation practice

What Students Say

Kim is a teacher with integrity, compassion and dedication. Her teaching blends substantial and deep knowledge of the Dharma, with kindness and a generous commitment to her students. Kim offers clear and impactful guided meditations that help students develop insight and awareness through critical investigation and reasoning. She also has a frank openness about her personal experiences and how she relates in life, that has shown me how to trust myself more. Above all she continues to encourage me and so many others to share our personal wisdom with the world through connecting with our hearts. Leslie Joren Wagner

Kim truly embodies the six paramitas, the four immeasurable, etc. in her teachings and her daily life, and treats every student with the respect and love that all beings deserve. She demonstrates what Metta/compassion and wisdom look like in her words and actions and I have learned so much from her about the meaning of Dharma, Buddha and Sangha. Carolyn Zezima, Esq.

Kim brings her full heart into her teaching. Her compassion has helped me find a home on "the path," and her wisdom has moved me forward on it. Sagar Bhatt

I don’t always make it to the Metta meditation, but something happened to lead me to it... It was one of the worst days in my life I was desperate for air and self-care. You are so loving and giving may you be blessed in countless ways. Thank you for transforming my evening into something worth my time. M.

Kim has been instrumental in illuminating my path to deeper self-awareness and compassion through meditation. Over the past year while working with Kim I have uncovered more insight and honesty with myself and feel a deeper level of connection with those around me. Her teaching style is caring and powerful and I would highly recommend working with her!

Kim is one of the very best teachers. She creates an inclusive, welcoming environment whether you are a beginner or advanced meditator. She will help you calm your mind and increase compassion for yourself and others!

I attended Metta Meditation classes with Kim regularly while I lived in New York City. Being her student was a life changing experience and allowed me to develop more compassion for myself and others. Most recently, I've been experiencing some challenges and watching her YouTube videos have been really helpful in coping with life. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to learn from her.

I’ve practiced with Kim for about three years. In that time she has given me many gifts. She’s created a beautiful community where she offers the practice of Metta (lovingkindness) for myself and others, and (what I feel to be the most fruitful part about Kim’s teaching), is that she guides you to find your own unique way to waking up and wisdom, while at the same time is always there providing support and kindness. It is such a beautiful way to learn and practice and I am very grateful for her and her efforts.

Kim is my favorite meditation teacher! Her approach is compassionate and super accessible. She translates Buddhist concepts into everyday language, and shares useful tools to help you with stress and difficulties. Everyone loves her teaching style.
