Here’s what Kim’s clients are saying:
“I have been working with Kim for less than 6 months and I already see an incredible difference in my approach to life. I have started really allowing myself to prioritize my own needs and desires as much as those of my family, friends, and professional network. She asks great questions that push me to keep thinking and continually explore what is best for me. I thoroughly enjoy the sessions with her and find myself often looking forward to telling her about a success (no matter how small), a new idea (no matter how out of the box it seems), or a new realization (no matter how seemingly insignificant). Hands down, the best investment of time and money I have ever made!”
“I’ve been working with Kim for almost a year now and she’s been helpful in all areas of my life. The most important factor about how Kim works is that she’s realistic about how busy my life is.
Her goal is for me to feel good about myself and that’s a goal women of our age have a very hard time with. Kim became a partner in a part of my life that I don’t share with others – struggles with exercise, food and general organization. She picks me up when I’ve fallen short and we work on a way forward.
My work with Kim has been a huge victory for me not because I’m svelte, super strong and have it all together. Because – no, no and no. It’s a victory because I’m no longer stuck in my own head berating myself and I’m more consistent with exercise, more organized and better with food than I’ve ever been. Kim is a constant positive force in my life.”
“I have spent much of my 50s making changes to build my life into one I love. I made the decision to hire Kim as my private coach to help me get over my biggest hurdles once and for all.
Kim has helped me identify what was most important to me, make a plan, and she holds me accountable. She helps me figure out and understand the motivations behind my bad habits and gives me tools to make changes. She reminds me not to expect perfection from myself but to push myself out of my comfort zone and to keep moving forward.
After only a few months of private coaching, I have made major lifestyle changes in areas I have struggled with for years. She reminds me to focus on my strengths, learn from my mistakes, and to take the time to acknowledge my progress. Kim is a highly skilled and motivating coach!”
“As I began the transition from a 40+ year career in the film industry to my ‘next’ life’s journey, I knew that I needed to reassess long-held choices and habits that had worked for me in my career. I quickly realized that I needed a coach/mentor to help me examine the qualities that I wanted to nurture and embrace – in myself and in people and projects that I might want to engage in.
Kim has been an excellent guide in this process. She is a sympathetic and insightful listener – hearing both what is said, and what is unsaid – and she has an innate ability to bring my attention to the questions and qualities that are most important in my exploration.
She has excellent homework assignments that have helped me clarify my thoughts and values, is always supportive, and generous with her time and her enthusiasm. This life transition is definitely easier with Kim’s guidance.”
“Kim was a guest on a podcast I was listening to and it was as if she was speaking directly to me. I was in my fifties and contemplating how I wanted to live the next part of my life. I looked Kim up, joined her Facebook group, and read many of her blog posts on her website.
I then scheduled a time to talk with her, and when I did I knew she was going to help me make positive changes and maneuver through this time of my life.
Since then, I’ve participated in large group, small group, and one-on-one coaching with Kim — all to my benefit.
Kim has helped me figure many things out for myself. In her Me Time Midlife Community, whether it’s suggesting books to read, providing guest expert speakers, sharing healthy recipes, posting exercise videos, or personally working through the areas of my life that required the most attention, Kim has really helped me on my path these last two years.
Mainly, Kim focuses on the basics and taking small steps. She requires you to reflect and make choices through written exercises. It’s incredibly revealing. Little by little, I realized I was making the changes I wanted to make. For me, the key was consistency, finding the middle ground, and being kinder to myself when I didn’t meet my goals so I wouldn’t give up!
With Kim’s specialized knowledge, her patience, and her kindness along the way, I felt comfortable to risk and invest in myself, and it certainly paid off.
I truly enjoy the community I’m part of and the guidance provided by Kim. I would recommend her coaching and this community of women to any midlife woman who wants a little help and guidance, with a lot of TLC, to make positive and healthy changes for themselves.”
“Kim, I had never had a personal coach before I hired you and I wasn’t sure what to expect or how long I would need your help, but now, 14 months later, I’m glad that I took the plunge to get the guidance and support that you have consistently given me.
Your ‘homework’ assignments and reflection exercises help me to clarify and understand my thoughts, needs and wants, and thus get a better look at myself on a deeper level.
You remind me of what is going right during those times when all I see is what isn’t working. You listen to me and ‘get’ me and give me valuable feedback that is honest and direct.
You help me break through barriers I’ve constructed for myself so that I can move forward on my goals of improving my overall health (your fitness expertise has been a bonus for me) and achieving my life-long dreams of how I want to live and be in this world. And I find your online discussion groups with the other women in this wonderful midlife community that you created so very valuable because I learn from all of them, every time.
I’ve discovered you to be a most empathetic, sincere, kind person — always positive, upbeat, and encouraging. I consider myself grateful that our paths crossed.”
“Leverage on your strengths! What a wonderful way to transform your health and well-being. Kim’s ReINVENT Your Health program is welcoming, challenging and has made a lasting impact on my life by helping me re-focus on the connectedness of my current health habits in regards to my sleep, food, mood and exercise.
I stepped out of my comfort zone and committed to a program and wellness coach I did not know anything about. I gave Kim 100% of myself and followed the program. Even though hard at times, Kim was there for me. Kim’s coaching ability allowed me to begin to see the strengths that have been hidden away for too many years. The risks I took to share with Kim and the group gave me the confidence that I CAN move forward in my health and wellness journey in my 50s and beyond.”
“Thank you Kim! I didn’t expect the outcome I had when I initially signed up for ReINVENT Your Health. Part of the great gifts in life you get is when you take a chance. I still use some of the techniques taught in ReINVENT Your Health. Now in her Small Group program, WOW. I have defined core values to me and actually live them.
Kim, you have exceeded my expectations. You truly care about people and it shows by what you do and the caring and compassionate way you connect with your clients.”
“Kim was referred to me by a close family member, knowing some challenges I was facing they thought she could help. After the first month, I was so surprised at the holistic approach and how powerful the sessions have been for me.
I think Kim has a gift to not only understand women in my age group, she’s intuitive, actively listening to what I want and need. She got to the core and helped me create a realistic plan. It may sound basic and something you think you’ve done before, but it truly is different and powerful.
I am really grateful to my family for the referral and Kim, who continues to amaze me as we take this journey together, I feel blessed.”
“Kim’s years of experience and knowledge of health make her the perfect facilitator for groups of women of a certain age. Her path has allowed her to collect anecdotal information on the thoughts, feelings, challenges and physical issues women face at midlife.
As a participant in her program, I found great similarities among the other women and me. We were all from different walks of life, but shared the same basic, day-to-day struggles of how to look at food and how to fit any kind of exercise into our busy lives.
The assignments and goal setting that Kim encouraged really worked for our group and by the end, each woman felt she had made positive steps toward healthy habits. Kim addressed each woman’s challenges individually, devising unique solutions. When you’re ready to start facing what you need to do for your future and your health, RUN, don’t walk to one of Kim’s programs.”
“I enjoyed participating in Kim’s programs and having the opportunity to have a safe environment to share. Kim is a very motivational and supportive coach!”
“Kim, you are the BEST and you always have the perfect things to say. You always keep me motivated and you’re a great listener. You have changed many negative ideas about myself. Thank you for what you do and caring so much about your clients. There’s no one else like you!!!”
“What an amazing journey this has been for me over the past year with Kim!
I was overweight, tired, emotional, and pretty much at a loss for what to do to improve my overall health and wellness.
I met Kim, set up a weekly appointment, and she got me on track both physically and mentally.
My health took a turn for the worse during this year but she was right there to help me through it. Her knowledge and expertise has been invaluable to me and I cannot sing her praises loud enough!
I would highly recommend Kim Acedo to anyone and everyone I know.”
“Kim has been helping keep me on task with my goals for the last several years and she is a pleasure to work with. Whether it be a gentle reminder to drink enough water, or a detailed weekly plan for physical activity, Kim has been there for me.
Her enthusiastic support for my intentions has improved my lifestyle choices and overall well-being. Having a non-judgmental, caring friend in my life to nudge me along in my aspirations, has made me the kind of person of whom I can be proud.”
“What I really liked about being a part of Kim’s small group coaching sessions is that it gave me a place where I could express myself amongst a supportive group of women all interested in living their best life in midlife. It really was a lovely way to spend an hour.
The regular calls kept me accountable and I looked forward to each session. It was like a mini vacation learning how to transform my life into one that fit my true self in my 50s. Thank you, Kim!”
“With her programs, Kim offered a safe place to begin to take responsibility for my own health and happiness with the support of her as my coach and the other participants going through similar life experiences. The calls and work assigned inspired and encouraged a nurturing way to make meaningful improvements.”
“I have really enjoyed meeting other women through Kim’s online community. It has helped me tremendously so far this year and I look forward to new friendships with women who get what it feels like to be 50 and at the same time are ready to face this decade with strength and a sense of adventure.”
“Kim’s online community allows me to be who I am without judgment. Because of this, I’ve been able to speak my truth without hesitation or fear of criticism.
I love the two-way communication that takes place between not only Kim and her members, but also amongst the members themselves. Week after week we share our thoughts, our struggles, our experiences, our high and low points. It definitely is a sisterhood, one where we truly care about each other.
I give thanks to Kim for her hard work and thoughtfulness she puts into every exercise each month and every week, for making sure there is a beginning, a middle and an end, and for being upfront with us and helping us to be our best selves. Each and every topic has touched me in a positive way.
Being a part of this community of women in midlife has given me awareness, joy, brought about positive changes, and has helped me to be the person I am meant to be.”
“Through a combination of her knowledge and experience in exercise physiology, her connections with multiple experts in the field of women’s health, and her buoyant personality, Kim provides a valuable service for women in midlife.
Her coaching style, both in her online community and within the courses she’s put together, is direct, sincere and always upbeat. Kim deftly facilitates discussions by questioning, listening and responding and truly has her finger on the pulse of what it means to live this stage of life vibrantly and purposefully.”
“I love being a part of Kim’s online community. I met Kim nearly two years ago and she has been supportive, generous and kind since that first chance meeting. I so appreciate the community she’s created, the support she’s created and the warmth that she exudes naturally.
Kim is an incredible coach as well, cheering for my success and offering positive thoughts about how to create change. She’s a powerhouse of inspiration and a tender, kind-hearted leader. I have loved every interaction with her and feel strongly that she has changed the trajectory of my health and fitness. Thank you Kim!”
“As a member of Kim’s online community, what I have appreciated most is that I’m surrounded by women my own age. This community is down to earth and relaxed.
It’s great to hear other women talk about things I can relate to. I’ve found that we share similar stories and issues. Through the sharing, it’s given me ideas on how to deal with the things that I’m going through as well.”
“Having Kim as a health and wellness coach for the past two years has been a transformational experience for me.
Kim is an incredible coach and holds a keen insight to the needs of her clients and offers a non-judgmental point-of-view when giving her feedback. By fully utilizing the online resources, and actively participating in the weekly assignments, Kim gently steers my path in a more self-loving and health-conscious direction.
With her enthusiastic show of support, and strong attention to detail, Kim provides a feeling of unconditional backing in a clear and concise manner that turns her weekly assignments into something thoroughly enjoyable, as well as thought provoking.
I particularly enjoy the shared camaraderie and long-lasting friendships that are formed within this very loving and dynamic group of women in midlife in her online community.
Kim is definitely one of the best coaches that I have ever experienced! She is an expert in her field and treats you as if you were her one and only client. Thank you, Kim!”
