Finding Inner Strength

Her Journey

Kim Hiles grew up facing depression, anxiety, and constant intrusive thoughts. It was her grandmother who first noticed her gift for writing—encouraging her talent through heartfelt letters. That spark of creativity eventually became P.E. for the Soul, a powerful story of becoming a teacher, wife, and mother while healing from trauma, addiction and relationship struggles.

For over 33 years, Kim has walked a path of deep personal growth and spiritual awakening, which informs all of her creative and professional work.

Today, she is the author of six books. The Weight of Wings has just come out. This collection of poetry explores loss and the moments that keep us going.  Walks with Strays explores how animals help us heal, reminding us of the deep bonds we share with them. With her husband, Will, she co-wrote Little Wonders, a story for teens who feel different or out of place—encouraging them to embrace their unique gifts.

Her other poetry collections, Moments as They Come and As the Dust Settles, reflect her raw emotional journey through life’s most intimate moments. Through all her writing, Kim offers comfort, insight, and a reminder that healing and hope are always possible.

With over 21 years as an educator and behavior and SEL specialist, Kim has helped children and adults grow through empathy, connection, and resilience. She is also a certified Reiki Master Teacher Practitioner and certified life coach, blending intuition and spiritual guidance into all she offers.

Her blog, books, and online course are extensions of her mission: Empower, teach and guide those ready to let go of their outdated stories and create an authentic life with purpose, joy and love.

Kim lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, their cats and her soulful sidekick, Zelda the dog. She also has a heart full of stories still to tell.

Life Purpose

Heal • Empower • Create is more than a phrase — it’s the foundation of everything I offer. It’s the rhythm beneath my writing, my courses, and the way I live my own life.

We begin by healing from within — gently releasing the stories that no longer serve us.
We reclaim our power — remembering who we are beneath the roles, the expectations, and the noise.  And from that place of clarity, we create — not just any life, but one filled with joy, purpose, and truth. A life that reflects who you really are.

This is the path I walk very imperfectly and the invitation I extend — to come home to yourself, fully and freely.

What others are saying

Authentic Self

Kim was the first person who really taught me the meaning of being your “authentic self.” Since then, I have been on my spiritual journey of self discovery. One book that has really helped me on my journey is PE for the Soul. I suggest everyone read it. Kim has been a great mentor and spiritual coach.

Purpose

The clarity, purpose, and direction of my life had never been lost, only hidden. Kim was the catalyst, the mirror, and the whispered reminder of the potential still within my grasp. I am grateful for her insight, patience, and wisdom.

Show up

Kim had learned along the way that showing up was a key ingredient to ‘making it.’ The art of showing up . . .she taught me that and I carry it with me all these years later. “Show up,” I hear her say and it propels me to do just that: I show up on time and everything unfolds, often times with beauty.
