Relationship Building

Friends, Family, and Professional Groups

Private group sessions are a beautiful way to bring people together to discover the benefits of meditation together. Families, friends, and colleagues learn to deepen their relationships and foster closeness and trust while practicing guided lovingkindness meditation. Weekly or monthly meetings are an opportunity to deepen personal resilience and strengthen relationships through kindness and wisdom.

Compassion meditations cultivate trust and vulnerability, two qualities necessary to create Psychological Safety, a necessary factor for all successful relationships, including families, friendships, and even business teams, as evidenced by Google’s Project Aristotle. I offer programs and classes that include guided instruction and space to share, where participants feel heard, connected, and cared for by themselves and each other.

I also work with “difficult” people; family members, managers, directors, and C-level employees considered critical, demanding, or un-empathetic. I prescribe useful tools they can practice to develop self-awareness and patience, and help them appreciate and foster their unique wisdom to transform their challenges to an opportunity to connect and be heard.

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!

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.
