Bio
Kimberley Wakefield holds a Msc. in Applied Positive Psychology where the topic for her dissertation was Posttraumatic Growth. She is also an accredited coach and she combines these passions in her private client and teaching practice. She also holds a position on the Board of the Canadian Positive Psychology Association and is the Marketing Lead for the Canadian Workplace Wellbeing Awards.
Kimberley has taken her expertise in both coaching and Posttraumatic Growth to come to a deeper understanding of Somatic Psychology or simply put, tapping into the wisdom of our body. Advanced neuroscience has shown us that there are neurons in our stomach proving that a “gut instinct” is research-backed and “thinking” doesn’t stop at our neck. Whole body decisions work out better for teams, leaders and organizational wellbeing.
