Transformational Coaching & Business Clarity

ALL ABOUT

Meet the Founder of Sovara!

This is her story...

Kim is a transformational coach who brings more than two decades of lived experience, professional insight, and grounded compassion to her work. Her mission is steady and sincere: to help people reconnect with their inner strength, change their inner dialogue, and create lives — personally and professionally — that feel aligned, purposeful, and deeply their own.

Her approach is shaped not only by her professional training, but by the resilience forged through the ebbs and flows of her own life. Over more than ten years, Kim navigated cycles of burnout, chronic fatigue, and sustained emotional strain — experiences that required her to reassess how she lived, worked, and cared for herself.

She has moved through profoundly challenging personal chapters and trauma, learning what it takes to rebuild from the inside out. Along the way, she also witnessed many people — in both her work and personal life — face burnout, illness, addiction, and significant mental and emotional hardship. These experiences strengthened her empathy and deepened her commitment to helping others change the way they move through their own lives.

More about Kim

During her own turning point, something became clear. Decades of working with people — across industries, personalities, and high-pressure environments — combined with her personal transformation, were quietly preparing her for this work. Sovara Sanctuary emerged from that clarity — a grounded space where insight, experience, and purpose converge.

Professionally, Kim brings a diverse and practical foundation. She has worked across allied health, retail, childcare, hospitality, mining, construction, property development, and veterinary care, predominantly in management and leadership roles. Her work has included identifying strategic gaps, reducing inefficiencies and costs, improving business processes, implementing new platforms, supporting budgeting and planning, and strengthening day-to-day operations to support sustainable growth. Kim has supported individuals, teams, and leaders through growth, conflict, challenging dynamics, and organisational change. She has experienced workplaces that were deeply supportive and others where boundaries, wellbeing, and values were tested.

These environments shaped her understanding of human behaviour, resilience, and the complex ways people cope, stretch, and strive to meet expectations — often at the cost of their own wellbeing.

The strive to be different

To Support Your Journey

These insights now form the heart of Kim’s work. She understands what it feels like to push beyond capacity, to stay strong for others, and to carry responsibility quietly. She also understands the courage required to pause, regulate, and choose a different way forward — one that honours both ambition and inner steadiness.

Today, Kim blends her professional background with training in transformational coaching, communication and psychology-informed approaches, and inner healing modalities. She is an Internationally Certified Results Coach (ICF-approved training), a Compassion Key® Practitioner, and is continuing her studies in NLP and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

Across everything she offers, Kim is recognised for her calm professionalism, clear thinking, and ability to create space where people feel genuinely seen and supported. She does not push, diagnose, or take over. Instead, she partners with clients — helping them gain a different perspective, take aligned action, and build lives and businesses that feel intentional and sustainable.

Kim's philosophy is simple, grounded, and deeply human:

Transformation and growth aren't about becoming someone new. They're about remembering who you are — and giving yourself permission to live and work from that place.

Kim is based in the beautiful and sunny state of Queensland, Australia.
