Kimberly is the Founder and leader of White Flag Recovery Yoga and Retreats in Charleston, SC. She is a Certified RYT300 Trauma informed Yoga teacher and Y12SR, The Yoga of 12 Step Recovery leader and Spaceholder. Kimberly has been leading these sacred Rē_TREAT gatherings since 2016.  From the beginning, they have proven to be deeply medicinal and life changing for the participants.  (read the love notes below from past retreatants)  She’s been an active seeker since age 10. A self professed “lifelong learner.” Kimberly is in long term recovery. She believes that addiction just wants to live, and it does not really care how it manifests itself. Addiction = separation Yoga = union of all parts of our being. Through her embodiment practices, (moving meditation) which draw from many different somatic healing lineages,  paired with the cognitive approach of the 12 steps, she has built a sustainable and long term platform for recovery. It is this practice and passion that she loves to share with others through her individual and group yoga sessions, classes, workshops, retreats and events. Above all, she loves to share this HOLISTIC approach to recovery with others.

From her adolescence to date, she practices the ancestral traditions of Mexico, training that she received from her spiritual grandmother. She has dedicated much of her life to traveling the world sharing these traditions through art and practice. Her passion for design and the environment led her to graduate as a Landscape Architect. In her travels she found other of her passions, Permaculture, the reproduction of organic seeds and the encounter with new ancestral traditions from other continents. She belongs to the group "Mouvement des Femmes Semencières" in France. In 2016 she created the project "Ka'alán Neék, Seed Guardians", in Tulum, Mexico, where she currently lives and at the moment she is creating the "Ancestral Seed Foundation".
