Who I Work With
Many individuals find that their need for depth, reflection, and authentic engagement often goes unmet in more traditional settings. The kinds of people drawn to my approach are not satisfied with surface-level solutions. Instead, they often seek to uncover deeper truths about themselves and the world around them. Below are some of the types of individuals who may find particular resonance in this work:
1. Highly Sensitive, Gifted, and Intellectual Individuals
For individuals who possess heightened sensitivity, life can present unique challenges. They often grapple with questions and dilemmas that others might dismiss or overlook. This approach allows them to engage with their inner complexity in a way that is both rigorous and compassionate, enabling them to fully explore their intellectual, emotional, and existential landscapes.
2. Professionals and Thought Leaders
Professionals in leadership roles are frequently caught between their public responsibilities and their private introspections. These individuals are often seeking a space where they can explore their personal development without sacrificing the intellectual rigour they apply to their professional lives. In such cases, a nuanced and thoughtful approach offers them an opportunity to reflect on both their external roles and their internal challenges, allowing them to align the two in a meaningful way.
3. Individuals Navigating Spiritual or Existential Crises
Spiritual and existential crises often arise at moments of profound personal change. Such individuals may feel out of step with the expectations of others or with the conventions of society. They are often searching for more than just answers; they are seeking meaning and coherence in a world that can sometimes seem indifferent to their most significant experiences. This space offers them the opportunity to explore these crises with both depth and sensitivity, without rushing towards conclusions or solutions.
4. Deep Thinkers and Creatives
Creative individuals and deep thinkers often find that their work mirrors their inner worlds. The process of creation itself is a form of introspection, one that requires emotional and psychological honesty. In many ways, their work can only reach its fullest potential when they themselves are fully engaged in their own personal exploration. Working with them involves more than just addressing their present concerns—it allows them to unlock new layers of insight, which in turn feed their creative expression.
5. Individuals Who Prefer a Measured, Authentic Approach to Wellness
The modern wellness industry often emphasises quick solutions, ignoring the complexity of human life. Those who seek more than superficial remedies are drawn to an approach that values authenticity over trends. For them, this measured way of working respects the gradual unfolding of personal growth and the time it takes to bring meaningful, lasting change into their lives.
6. Individuals Who Have Felt Misunderstood or Alienated
Many of the individuals drawn to this work have experienced feelings of isolation—whether emotional, intellectual, or spiritual. They may feel out of step with their peers or disconnected from societal norms. Here, they find a space where their perspectives are not only acknowledged but respected. The goal is not to “fix” their differences but to help them see those differences as a source of strength and insight, rather than a burden to be carried.
7. Clients Interested in Long-Term Personal Development
Personal development is often viewed as a lifelong journey, one that cannot be rushed or oversimplified. Those who are interested in a long-term, reflective process tend to find satisfaction in this kind of work. They are not looking for immediate transformation, but rather a gradual unfolding of their deeper potential. Here, they find a process that honours their commitment to self-exploration and the long arc of personal growth.
8. Philosophical and Reflective Individuals
Some individuals are naturally drawn to life’s deeper questions. They do not view their challenges in isolation, but rather as part of a broader search for meaning and purpose. For them, this work provides a space where their philosophical and reflective tendencies are encouraged rather than stifled. It allows them to engage with their inner life in ways that are intellectually satisfying and emotionally resonant.
Honouring the Full Spectrum of Your Experience
This work appeals to individuals who seek not only to solve immediate problems but to understand the broader context of their lives. For those who value depth, reflection, and authenticity, this approach offers a rare opportunity to explore the full range of their experiences. Whether gifted, spiritually seeking, or simply looking for a more thoughtful and nuanced path to personal growth, clients will find a space where their inner world is not only acknowledged but deeply honoured.

After my brain cancer surgery, I began radiation treatment. I was suffering from a multitude of issues. Primarily, I was not feeling balanced in general, or sleeping properly. I suffered from seizures daily. While the medication prescribed did help, I was still very sick. Energy healing was recommended to me, as the British Columbia Cancer Agency could not do anything more for me other than provide medication and counselling. That was two years ago. After starting to work with Kim U-Ming, my condition improved very noticeably and radically. My energy level and overall neurological stability improved to the point that several medications were stopped entirely. As a cancer survivor, I suggest you combine Kim’s energy healing and holistic counselling with modern medicine for the BEST solution to recover fully.
Before beginning my healing sessions with Kim, I was experiencing a chronic lack of energy and overwhelming generalised lethargy. When I went for my first session, I had absolutely no idea what to expect but was very open to whatever the experience would bring. Right away, I felt that Kim had an extremely soothing, gentle and grounded presence. I was comfortable, relaxed and safe with her. As for the healing itself, I definitely felt an immediate result. By the end of my first session, I had such a powerful sensation – mentally, spiritually and physically - of clarity and flow, it was almost euphoric. Ensuing sessions have only served to strengthen and deepen a sense of inner wellbeing, and I’m profoundly grateful to Kim for the wonderful work she does.
I have a back injury caused by severe child abuse. It leaves me with serious chronic pain. Needless to say, given its cause, my pain leaves me emotionally tense and drained as well as physically depleted. I find that I tend to tense my shoulders and breathe shallowly as an unconscious way to try to "run away" from my lower back pain. I then feel almost split in two, my upper torso and head existing in a different space than my lower body. In addition, the pain and medications leave my body feeling "sludgy," as if my blood isn't moving quickly and smoothly enough. It's all very hard to describe, but Kim's healing work helps. When Kim works with me, I feel there is more "motion" in me; the sludgy feeling goes away. My body feels whole. I am able to relax and connect my emotional, spiritual, and physical selves, and my adult and wounded child selves, into one. I am less afraid of the emotions connected to the pain and abuse. My pain does diminish some. In short, the work Kim does is healing not just for my body but for all of me.
Kim is a very caring and understanding coach. She consistently exudes a very confident and professional approach in our coaching sessions. Throughout every one of our sessions, I felt incredibly secure, light, and motivated to advance beyond my limiting beliefs. I am so grateful to her for all the changes we have been creating together. I just feel so very strong and clear now on my unique path. I am now achieving my biggest and most ambitious goals. I am grateful to be playing a much bigger ‘game’ in my life after working with Kim. Thank you, Kim, for everything!
Coaching gave me the time to explore different ideas that I would have never thought of on my own. Most of the time we get caught up in our day to day lives and forget about the bigger picture. The time that I spent with Kim was extremely efficient and fulfilling. Had I tried to accomplish what I did in a single session with Kim, it would've taken days if not weeks and with no clear direction. Kim is very calm and patient, I basically felt that I could reveal anything about myself and she wouldn’t even flinch which created a comfortable environment to explore my thoughts
Kim U-Ming's coaching sessions came at a time when I was wishing to redefine my career path. Kim's encouraging approach helped me open my mind to what my strengths and potentials are, what I wanted to do in the short and long term, and we came up with a plan to do start doing it. Soon after my first session, I had taken my career in the direction that I was hoping for and was collaborating with new colleagues on the kinds of projects I desired. Kim's follow up sessions helped me focus on what I now need to do to make this new direction even more rewarding. Kim’s sessions have been invaluable to me.
I recently had eye surgery. First my left eye, then my right. My eyes were feeling disconnected from each other, I began to get headaches. My whole body felt off and unbalanced. I had a session with Kim. It was unbelievable how amazing I felt during and after our session. I felt so relaxed that I fell asleep and when I awoke, I felt balanced and like a new person. My eyes felt great! Kim's intuition to hone in and work on areas most needed is fascinating. I would definitely recommend Kim for her great work in energy healing.
My introduction to energy healing was several years ago immediately after hernia surgery. I had two sessions with Kim and I was amazed at how quickly my incisions healed and the pain subsided. The need for pain-killing medications was eliminated. More recently I was suffering from rotator cuff tendinitis in the shoulder and again sought Kim's help. I am now without pain and discomfort in the shoulder. I try to avoid the pharmaceutical route, because of the several possible side effects. I, therefore, recommend the holistic approach, particularly energy healing which balances the whole being. Kim truly cares about helping. Her sincerity and sensitivity are clearly evident during treatments.
I have had several sessions with Kim, all of which left me feeling very relaxed and stress-free. She has been able to relieve pain in various parts of my body. Kim's work has a lasting calming effect. Kim is a very professional, intuitive and genuine person and I would recommend her services to anyone that needs treatment both internally and externally in energy work.
When Kim began (remotely) working on Jewel she had been constantly sick but since then, she has only been sick once and was able to get better fast. My daughter was born premature and has cerebral palsy with a hand-full of labels to describe multiple disorders. She was just recently checked and the prognosis was; she has made gains, her spine is now straight without scoliosis, her hips have shown stability and are sitting more in their sockets than compared with the previous x-ray. She has a good range of motion. Jewel appears calmer, healthier and is able to show a greater range of stability overall, which helps her with her schoolwork, specifically reading. She also has fewer tantrums. Kim has good knowledge of natural supplements and foods that aid in strengthening and overall health.
In 2002 I suffered from a constant cough and my GP could not figure out what was causing it. She, therefore, referred me to a specialist. During my examination, the specialist discovered a lump on my neck and I was sent to St. Paul’s for a biopsy and then a consultation with a surgeon, who recommended that the thyroid lump/nodule be removed. I decided against surgery as I was not having any discomfort and it did not attribute to my cough. Now in June 2014, twelve years later, my new GP insisted I have the nodule checked out again. The scan revealed that it had grown almost twice the size. During the waiting time of one month to see the surgeon for a needle aspiration and consultation, Kim did three energy healing sessions on the area of the nodule. I went for my appointment with the surgeon on July 2014, and to my astonishment, the surgeon could not find the lump/nodule. Kim's energy healing sessions not only dissolved my thyroid nodule but also relieved pulled painful muscles around my ears, neck, and throat due to an ear infection. Thanks to Kim, I have avoided unnecessary surgery. Her previous energy healing sessions also helped me prepare and recover from two necessary surgeries. I always feel great after energy healing sessions.
I had adopted a previously stray cat, who was still very aggressive with a lot of other behaviour problems. Even after having him live inside for a year his behaviour was substantially the same. Kim spent some time with him and over a month he completely mellowed out!! He is now a very gentle, friendly cat. Kim’s work really seemed to help and be a turning point in my cat become more trusting, relaxed, and sociable.
