Helping Clients Re-Set their Nervous System with Kim Kimball

Let’s talk about what it really means to help clients with nervous system regulation.

Kim Kimball—a CLCC grad, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and somatic leadership coach—joins us to unpack the difference between true regulation and what’s often just emotional bypassing. We explore how to help clients recognize what’s actually happening in their bodies, work with their capacity instead of against it, and build businesses that feel sustainable rather than depleting.

This conversation digs into how highly sensitive and neurodivergent entrepreneurs can honor their wiring, stretch within capacity, and stop forcing themselves into systems that were never built for them.

If you’ve ever wondered how to support clients in regulating without repressing, or how to bring a somatic lens into your coaching in an ethical, trauma-informed way—this episode is a must-listen.
