Creative Unfoldment

Collage of images of Kim Schaefer and pottery she has made. In one image, she is holding a vase on a tray, another she is smiling with a dog, another with a cat on her shoulders holding coffee mug.

You carry an immense healing capacity that just needs relational safety, loving containment and mindful presence to take shape. It is my honor and heartfelt desire to guide you in accessing your deep inner wisdom.

My approach

A ceramic pitcher with a speckled brown and tan glaze, rounded handle, and spout, set against a plain light background.

My healing framework blends science with Eastern philosophy. It is non-pathologizing, experiential, and rooted in relationship.

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and meditation teacher. My voracious appetite for nervous system understanding and holistic healing have lead to deep study and training, all so I can help you heal in a full embodied way.

I foster an environment of self-discovery through expressive arts, breathwork and movement.
