Simply Being Well
Simply Being Well was born when my son Bodhi was 4 months old. I could either go
back to work for someone else and leave my child in daycare, or start my own
business and be with my son as he grew. My beloved husband and best fan encouraged
me to do what I loved-"if I built it, they (clients) would come", and so I took my
love of empowering people and built simply being well. I am a wellness chef and
educator. I am on the Honorary Board of the Weston A. Price Foundation, and am
committed to nutrient-dense, sustainable and local food, farming and the healing
arts. I enjoy teaching private and group classes that give individuals simple tools
for practical, powerful, personal well-being. These include cooking classes where
individuals learn to cook for well-being, as well as classes on flower essences,
essential oils and other healing modalities. Simply Being Well is based in Takoma
Park, Maryland.

Cultivating Health
Although she enjoys working with a variety of clients, Kim's practice focuses on
energizing moms and dads to become healthier and happier parents equipped with the
tools necessary to improve the eating habits and overall health and wellbeing of
their children. In addition to teaching parents how to find the right foods for
their bodies, Kim helps them to balance Primary Food which includes finding honest
and open relationships, a meaningful spiritual practice, an inspirational career,
and physical activity that is enjoyable. In order for children to be healthy, happy
and well-rounded little people, their parents must be, too.
Prior to beginning her career as a health counselor, Kim was the Program Director
for the Washington Youth Garden at the U.S. National Arboretum where she helped
youth and families in the District of Columbia discover where their food comes from,
how to grow it organically and how to cook it in tasty, yet healthy ways. Kim holds
memberships in the American Association for Drugless Practitioners, Slow Food, the
Herb Society of America, Route 1 Velo and the Weston A. Price Foundation. Kim is
also one of the founding members of the Greenbelt Farmers Market. When she's not
thinking about food, you can find Kim on her bike, practicing yoga at Greenbelt Om
or working in her vegetable and herb garden.
