The Trailblazing Entrepreneurs
Represented by: Kim Schaper
Have you ever been in the presence of a woman whose light is so radiant, whose dynamic energy electrifies the entire room? That's Kim Schaper. She exists to ignite the same luminescence in other women through the power of functional wellness healing. Kim, a trailblazing entrepreneur in the wellness industry, is a national speaker on women's health, a holistic wellness coach and a certified personal trainer. Her passion, her life's work, is to empower women to rediscover their innate confidence, health and well-being using innovative methodologies she's honed through personal experience, education and professional mastery.
Kim is a pioneer who carved her own path, a path where she could authentically narrate her transformative journey of reclaiming her life, with the hope of inspiring and guiding women across the globe. She wrestled with the tumultuous cycles of emotional eating, swinging from starvation to binging, with her weight fluctuating drastically, all while grappling with an addiction to exercise to sustain a superficial facade. After embarking on a journey of mental and emotional healing, she uncovered years of detrimental habits that had triggered a cascade of hormonal imbalances.
Kim became a devoted scholar of female hormonal health, delving into the complexities of what triggers hormonal imbalances and how to naturally restore harmony. Undaunted by the challenge, Kim assembled a powerhouse team of experts - functional doctors, life coaches, and trainers - to join her in this mission. Her message is clear: women do not have to suffer from chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or weight gain. (As a side note: Our founder began her healing journey under Kim's transformative guidance!)
