Your Wayfinder
You are not broken.
Let’s find your footing together.
I help women navigate deep loss, release stored trauma, and retrain their nervous systems for lasting peace.
Kimberly Summers · Certified Grief Facilitator & Somatic Practitioner
The personal journey
My path to this work did not begin in a classroom, but in my own body.
For years, my nervous system lived in constant fight-or-flight. After weathering dysfunctional dynamics, divorce, child alienation, and narcissistic relationships, my body shut down into a profound freeze state. I was completely exhausted, an empath with less than ideal boundaries.
When I stopped fighting my body and leaned in with curiosity, I began to “thaw.” I learned firsthand that nervous system retraining and deep self-care are not luxuries. They are absolutely essential. When we learn safety, we can trust ourselves again.
“Our bodies give us clarity long before our minds engage.”
The turning point
From sacred loss to your Wayfinder
My calling deepened when I watched someone I dearly loved die in my arms. This heartbreaking, sacred experience led me to work with hospice, where I saw how heavily the body stores grief and recognized a desperate, collective cry for more genuine support in this world. I understood that if we do not restore balance and release these heavy emotions, they physically manifest as discomfort and disease.
To anchor my personal journey in professional expertise, I became a somatic practitioner and grief facilitator. I blend these modalities because the body stores our deepest losses, and this is not something we can “talk” through. My goal is not to erase your grief, but to help you process it safely and learn to walk with it.
The promise & invitation
I am here to walk alongside you.
I am not here to “fix” you, because you are not broken. I am here to be your Wayfinder: to walk alongside you, ensure you are deeply seen, and provide a safe space to release heavy emotions. I feel humbled by every story and honored by every heart that lets me in. Whether you need to reset your nervous system from daily stress, or rediscover who you are after a devastating loss, I am here. Together, we will find your footing once again.
Work with me
Healing is not a one-size-fits-all formula.
Because your story, your nervous system, and your grief are unique to you, our work together will be entirely customized. I weave together a gentle blend of deeply restorative modalities, choosing whatever feels intuitively correct and safest for your body in the moment.
- Somatic retraining techniques to help release stored stress and trauma and build capacity for everyday stressors
- Reflexology protocols to restore balance from the feet up. This is more than a foot rub: an intentional release of energy blockages that improves circulation and directly stimulates the lymphatic reflex points
- Breathwork & grounding practices to anchor you back into the present and move your nervous system from sympathetic to parasympathetic
- Grief facilitation to provide a compassionate space to honor your losses
- Guided imagery to help your mind reframe and reimagine new possibilities
- Medicinal baths & medical IV infusions to physically support and replenish your system
The philosophy
“You are the expert on your own life & body. I am your witness, and you are my teacher. How can I show up for you?”
My promise to you
A partner and safe place for your tender heart.
To show up as a partner and safe place for your tender heart. To gently remind you of your existing inner wisdom and to help you find your own answers.
When you feel ready, we will help each other build compassion, curiosity, capacity, and connection for ourselves and others. I do not have the ability to fix or promise to transform, but I will be your Wayfinder, reminding you of the things you may have forgotten along the way: that you are resourceful, creative, and whole.
