About Kim Hiles

A Life Lived From The Inside Out

Kim Hiles is a teacher and author with over 30 years of experience supporting awareness, presence, and authentic living. Her work blends intuitive insight, energetic awareness, and grounded guidance to help people reconnect with themselves and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Long before formal Reiki and coach training, Kim worked intuitively with energy through presence, imagery, and focused attention—supporting others in moments of stress, disconnection, and transition. Her approach is natural, embodied, and practical, shaped by decades of teaching, social-emotional learning, behavior coaching, and restorative practices.

Through her courses, books, guided journeys, and live experiences, Kim creates spaces where people feel seen, steady, and capable of listening to what they already know inside. She lives in Austin, Texas with her partner of 30 years, her cats, and her soulful sidekick, Zelda the dog.

Life Purpose

Heal • Empower • Create is more than a phrase — it’s the foundation beneath everything I offer and the path that led me to Authentic Living. It’s the rhythm beneath my writing, my courses, and the way I walk my own life.

We begin by healing from within — gently releasing the stories, patterns, and expectations that no longer serve us.

We empower ourselves by remembering who we are beneath the roles, the noise, and the conditioning.

And from that place of clarity, we create — not just any life, but our best version and our best life, one rooted in truth, presence, and joy.

This is the practice of Authentic Living — not perfection, but awareness, choice, and becoming.
It’s the path I walk very imperfectly, and the invitation I extend: to come home to yourself, and live in a way that truly reflects who you are.

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.
