About Me

Hi, I’m Kim – the heart behind Barefoot Kim. Here’s a little bit about me:

I'm married to my loving and supportive husband of many years, and together we raise our three free-spirited children, who I home educate with a lot of patience and love. After school, I studied for a degree in Zoology, dreaming of travelling the world and studying wildlife. But life had other plans, meeting my now-husband led me down a different path, and I found myself in a career in account management.

I chose not to return to work after having children, instead focusing on family life, especially after discovering my eldest was selectively mute and lived with high anxiety. As my children have grown and thrived, I’ve felt called to return to work in a way that feels meaningful. Around the same time, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition, which deepened my connection to holistic healing and ultimately led to the creation of Barefoot Kim Reflexology.

I’m trained in Reiki, Crystal Healing, and hold a Level 5 Diploma in Reflexology, the highest level currently available in the UK. I’ve also studied Colour Therapy, allowing me to work holistically with energy, intuition, and science-backed techniques. My practice is grounded in compassion, connection, and a genuine desire to support others in finding balance—especially those navigating mental health challenges, neurodivergence, chronic stress, or caring responsibilities.
