About Kim
Welcome! I am Kim Massale and I am an embodiment therapist and coach, as well as an entrepreneur. I am a spiritual guide for my clients - supporting them in aligning with their connection to source and deepist spiritual longings. And in my own life, I float between the spiritual plane and the human. I live grounded to this human experience, living it to its fullest, a strategizing mastermind, while also listening to and following the breadcrumbs of my spiritual path.
I live a very suburban lifestyle outside of Boulder, Colorado, integrating my spiritual connection into my daily life. As the main breadwinner for our family, my partner and I represent a flip of traditional gender norms in our community. A few years ago, a stage of our financial journal was highlighted, in large part due to our flipping of gender norms, in a film on Netflix named “Get Smart With Money.”
Breaking out of the norm and disrupting toxic cultural norms has been a thread throughout my life. Over the past few years, I was called to flip my whole career on it’s head, heal from many years of burn out and connect to my spirit on a deeper level. It felt impossible at first but it was the best decision I have ever made. I had no idea where the journey would take me. The space I created to heal from burnout has allowed me to do many transformative deep dives into aligning to a new level of my values and identity.
During this time, I have done significant anti-racism and anti-white supremacy studies, I have spent much time in reflection on the state of the planet and how I want to contribute to its healing. I have meditated and spent much time in quiet space. I have done many types of physical exercise and activity to reconnect with my body, recently landing on CrossFit and Pole Dancing. I have explored my friendships and sorted through old trauma around such connections. Recently, I have committed to spending quite a bit of my time supporting my children’s school, rallying signatures for important changes and volunteering in the school.
In my career of over 15 years as a therapist and coach, I have most enjoyed supporting 100s of women in embodying their power. I have supported women internationally, female politicians on The Hill in Washington DC, political activists, traveling artists, international musicians, teachers, therapists, lawyers, doctors, midwives, nomads… I have helped women develop careers, businesses and income beyond their wildest dreams. I have helped women tap into their power so they may attract the partnership they deserve. I have guided women back to their souls time and time again. I believe I am here, in this lifetime, to lead women back to their knowing - that they - that YOU - are the spiritual warriors of truth and justice.
MORE ABOUT KIM AND HER CAREER
Kim Massale is the founder, owner and manager of Brave Embodiment Counseling LLC as well as Kim Massale Coaching.
Brave Embodiment Counseling has been open since 2017 and now employs over 20 therapists. Kim strives to create an ethical practice for both clients and therapists at Brave. Brave is a place for highly motivated individuals to heal from trauma, connect to their power, essence and soul's path. For Kim, the practice creates safety for many individuals to seek accessible support and highly transformative healing.
Her personal relationships are built on trust and love with boundaries. Kim was previously married and divorced. She knows what is like to feel hopeless and alone while going through a breakup! She also knows what it means to build your life back up from rock bottom. She knows what it means to truly connect with your essence and soulmates, and to follow your intuition. She is now happily remarried with a beautiful goddess in the making daughter, Carina Sol (7 years old), and sweet cuddly soul, Lucas (5 years old).
Kim began her journey into this career as a psychotherapist upon hearing and following her heart's call to follow her passion. Growing up with parents who are both scientists, she was headed in the direction of engineering throughout high school and into college. Despite feeling different and fearful to take the leap into her soul's desires, she followed her heart and instead completed her BA in Fine Arts. Shortly after, she fined tuned her passions in the form of a career in Art Therapy and completed her Master's Degree at George Washington University's Art Therapy Program in 2009.
As the years have passed, Kim continued to narrow in her niche by incorporating the most integrative and holistic as well as accelerated approaches to healing. She trained in EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing in order to heal trauma and release negative limiting beliefs. And has trained and was a teacher’s aid for Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (through Level 2). This mind-body approach allows for healing from the bottom-up and top-down, meaning it retrieves stuck traumatic material from deeper less accessible parts of your brain by way of the body, in order to more quickly and efficiently process and heal.
Kim is a credentialed Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado (LPC.0013237).
Prior to her work in Colorado, Kim had the pleasure of working at Your Soul Therapy as a psychotherapist for Washingtonian women in their 20s and 30s in Georgetown, DC. She was also the Assistant Clinical Director for a teen crisis mental health agency in which she ran Art Therapy groups, worked with families, teens, and supervised students and post-graduate clinicians for over 6 years.
Kim served as the President of the DC Chapter of the American Art Therapy Association and have been an active member of the local and national American Art Therapy Association since 2007 volunteering for several different committees and positions. She was the Government Affairs Chair for the Art Therapy Association of Colorado, where she was leading efforts to gain licensure for Art Therapists in Colorado.
Kim also worked in a state forensic and psychiatric hospital for a year working with individuals who had committed various types of crimes and were deemed not guilty due to mental disorders. She also worked for a year as a home-based psychotherapist, working with kids on probation and families involved with CPS. Kim has extensive experience running art therapy groups, dance-movement groups, drama groups as well as embodiment focused coaching groups. She also has extensive experience working with families and individuals.
Most recently, Kim has been serving as a business coach for women wanting to expand their business from an ethical and spiritual foundation. Prior to that, Kim ran highly intensive group coaching programs supporting high capacity women internationally to embody their power and connect to their truth and wisdom. In these coaching programs, Kim supported women in healing from old pain in order to develop empowered new belief systems using embodiment, spirituality and inner child work.
