Who I am

My name is Kimberly Pirtle and I am a thirty-something plus size intuitive life coach and holistic practitioner. I am a Reiki Master Teacher and I have a Masters Degree in Digital Media Studies from the University of Denver where I fine tuned my web development skills and spent two years exploring how to develop and facilitate online communities. My love of internet technology inspired me to create this website that includes community forums that offer resources and support for plus size women.

Through my life coaching and holistic services, I specialize in helping people of all shapes and sizes celebrate who they are and every part of their being. I want everyone to be blissfully happy and celebrate the things that make us uniquely ourselves. My goal is to help you discover what it is that will truly make you happy and then give you tools to redesign your life so you can get what you really want. With love, encouragement, and passion we can work together to evolve your reality to meet all of your hopes, dreams and expectations.

Where I'm Coming From

This site is about fulfillment of longing. As a woman with a large body, I know what it's like to long for nurturing, support, and resources that take me and my needs into consideration first, and I have spent a lot of time hunting for reliable resources and services that affirm my value as someone with a differently shaped body. I have spent too much time feeling like there must be something wrong with me because I don't fit in the mold of traditional culture standards of beauty and worthiness. As I began accepting and loving myself for who I am and rejecting what society has been telling me about my value, I decided that I need to fulfill that longing for nurturing and acceptance for myself and others.

To that end I have summoned my experience in life coaching and online community development and partnered it with my understanding of issues that people with differently shaped bodies face to bring you a website and professional services that will help you find your bliss and live within your highest potential.

I've written about how I approach living in my large body here.

What I'm About

I think it's important to clarify what I'm not about. My goal is not to change the size of your body or to get you into any particular shape. My goal isn't to help you "cope" with having a differently shaped body. So if you've come here hoping to learn the secret to being slender or "normal", you're probably in the wrong place. Here's what I am about. My goal is to help you celebrate who you are right now. My goal is to help you discover and live your truth. My goal is to help you find your personal bliss in this moment and in every moment after. The resources you find here are things that will help you get in touch with the joy inherent in every part of your being.

My philosophy is simple: You are divine light and have all of the answers inside of you.

You always know what you need to do to take the next step towards your bliss-we all do. It may be difficult for you to feel the loving energy around you at every moment. It may be difficult to listen to the messages you receive from your divine self and the helping guides around you. You may be unsure about how to find your personal power to push you through this place of transition where you find yourself right now. That's where I come in.

What I Do

As a healer, I have an intuitive connection with divine energy. I am a big believer in the Law of Attraction and I work with the knowledge and power that you have inside of yourself to help find the answers you are looking for in your life. I use several tools to aide us on this journey including: intuitive life coaching, guided meditation, tarot readings, and Reiki treatments.

In addition to my professional services, I am taking advantage of the wonderful power of virtual spaces (i.e. this website) to provide plus size resources and build a sacred space to support plus sized women.

Plus Size Resources

I enjoy working with people of all shapes and sizes and have done intuitive life coaching and healing on a wide variety of people. I have a special place in my heart for plus size women because I spent a lot of time in my life longing for people who understood what I was going through. Most of my doctors were smug about my weight ("A ha! That's what's wrong!"), most exercise classes did not address my body and abilities, massage therapists did not have robes that fit me or tables that helped me feel secure. I didn't want every aspect of my healing and transformation experiences to revolve around my body, but I did want my body size accounted for. I got used to feeling like there was something fundamentally wrong with me when I couldn't find clothes or jewelry or exercise programs or services that would fit my body.

I have some wonderful news for you though, there are clothes, and jewelry, and exercise programs and services that will work with your body. I will use all my resources to help you find what you need because you deserve it! I am here to honor you and to help you find your place in this world. I believe in you and want you to have as many opportunities as possible.

Community Support

One of the aspects of being a plus size woman that was most painful for me was a feeling of isolation. I didn't feel like I could let anyone in and show them when I was hurting or needed help. I often felt self-conscious when I was around other people because I knew that they just couldn't understand. The only time I could talk about my body was in the context of dieting, dissatisfaction, anger, or humor.

The beautiful thing about technology is we can provide support for each other no matter where we are. We can share helpful resources, plan meetings, express our joys that are uniquely ours as we discover what blessings our bodies are, ask questions about experiences we're going through or hope to have. I've just begun a support community here at this site, but I hope you'll join in and add your experience and resources to it so we can thrive and help each other. If all the things I described above aren't incentive enough, here's more: When you participate in the online community, you can earn points that you can exchange for my holistic services!
